UK Banks consistently trading below ( NAV ) is an industry wide problem.

Disposing or floating-off the family silverware ( Scottish Widows ) makes no financial sense and with no or little real tangible benefits for shareholders.

What Lloyds needs to drive profits forward in the future, is more Personal Banking and Wealth Management and less exposure to Retail Banking.

2023 Pick your stocks wisely !

Anything with Liz Truss's fingerprints on shoud be viewed with heavy scepticism.

UK needs economic stability, not a free market revolution.

Technical analysis data can be a useful tool and is primarily used by Day Traders to identify short term support and resistance levels, however it does not guarantee future share price direction.
