SETS auctions, can occur at any time during market trading hours.

Investor confidence return to the sector, despite higher interest rates and share buybacks banking shares remain deeply unwanted and unloved. Where next for the sector ??

We will all have to wait a see how UK business and consumer confidence plays out and ultimately the Lloyds share price over the coming months. Latest CBI survey among UK manufacturers are now predicting output will fall over the next three months than it would rise by quite a high substantial margin.

Markets remain nervous until positive outcome in US debt -ceiling talks, higher UK food and retail inflation figures for May and further OPEC cuts in oil production back in focus straining an already tight oil market won't help either.

Lloyds share price has been on it's current downward trajectory since the announcement on the 22nd May of a new block listing of 525 million shares added to the register, any connection ?

Not just Labour, cash strapped Conservative Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is also toying with idea of capping ISAs. They have now probably outlived their purpose they were orioriginally designed for. When tax free savings and investments were introduced back in 1986 it was never envisaged at the time, these schemes would enable people in future to become ISA tax - free millionaires.

Just what the Kremlin ordered, Russia's economic war with Europe move's to a new front line, Germany's support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia have resulted in lower growth and higher inflation for the German economy.

You're missing the wider picture !

Famous iconic companies like Jaguar Land Rover should have never have been in foreign ownership in the first place.

Have a think about it ?

Good news, and all it took was a £500 million bribe of UK taxpayers cash, and that comes on top of the £300 million already given to parent company Tata Steel to keep steelmaking in the UK.

Latest block listing of shares effectively wipes out 25% of the current share buyback programme to date.

Making the mistake of chasing high yielding dividend stocks whilst ignoring core fundamental analysis of a company can often turn into a costly recipe for disaster for many investors.

True, share buybacks certainly distorts EPS and book value of a company, and in many cases they don't create real long - term value for shareholders.

Council tax is an inescapable fact of life put simply, society faces the stark choice of paying higher council taxes or alternatively substantial cuts in public services.
