Theosus, " Big tech " companies with very deep pockets Apple, Amazon, Google and even Facebook are ready and waiting to push into post covid finance and retail banking Global markets. Also worth noting any American trade deal will be conditional on these companies along with their traditional American Investment banks having full access to the UK banking sector market

LTI, High street banks have left it a little late in the day, its now a case of catch up, Challenger Banks are light years ahead of them with cutting edge fin-tech technology already baked into these banks from the offset.

Theosus, Traditional high street banks are now quickly realising that big is no longer beautiful, they failed after the 2008 financial crash to foresee the need to begin to phase out their old legacy systems, innovate and implement new technology fast enough, and was slow to react to a plethora of new low cost sucessful on the move fin -tech challenger banks such as Monzo, Revolut and Starling entering the UK banking sector.

" out with the old in with the new "

If they are to survive and remain profitable in future years, traditional high street banks must now reinvent themselves and radically change their current business models for the new post covid / Brexit era of intense banking competition and ultra low interest rate levels.

Not quite, he's signed up be the all singing performing face and character on the on the new tv Typhoo Tea adverts to be screened later in the year.

Buying shares is easy, deciding when to sell shares is always a difficult decision.

LTI Most people who voted " leave " did so with good intentions....... but not all !

Ask Tim Martin, Jacob -Rees mogg, Nigel Farage and thousands of other cronies like them, the real reason for Brexit.

IT wouldn't have any thing to do the EU,s new forthcoming offshore anti - tax avoidance rules would it ?

A whole raft of tax increase measures will now have to be considered, CGT and Stamp duty on shares may be on the list, he will certainly be looking at scrapping the year on year increase in the Triple Lock State Pension and free bus passes for wealthy pensioners with secondary pensions and excess savings and investments.

" nothing can be ruled out now "

Triflepig, UK had significant influence as a member of the European Union.

What is the " special relationship " with America, or are we just being used as America's trojan poodle in Europe and the rest of the World.

Another clear indication post Brexit stand alone Britain is becoming a " puppet " state of the Americans.

"Deutsche Bank current ratings"
Lloyds and Barclays Top end of my trading range.
RBS Looking a little tad cheap.

"not that old chestnut again" Investors should wait for Q2 earnings report and impairment charge levels to be released, before considering ploughing any further cash into this bank.

American bank reporting begins this week, may set the tone for UK banking sector Q2 earnings.

I would expect the covid economic pandemic knock -on effects on the UK economy will still be unravelling into Q3 / Q4 reporting, and possibly well into 2021.

A real house of cards Telsa, 620% eyewatering increase in the share price over the last twelve months currently valuing the company at $330 Billion dollars.

Triflepig, I think the whole Global Central Banking system is on life -support not just the ECB, they are now firmly boxed into a corner, a real future economic catastrophic monetary situation in the making with no solutions or answers forthcoming.

Brexit brinkmanship or bluff, Boris is now locked into a dangerous collision course with the European Union, this isn't going to end well !

I'm afraid Italy will remain on European Central Bank life - support for the foreseeable future.

" Three million people planning to work from home "
