Troajan also contributes to the exploitation of people and the global environment.

Globalisation is a complicated issue, good for multi - national corporations, not so good for ordinary working class people.

ji5006. Profitable banking at what cost !. Since the 2008 self - inflicted financial crash, the Global banking industry has paid out more than $450 billion dollars in litigation costs and fines due to excess greed and deregulation of financial markets

Sooner than later the Global banking Industry will have to change, and take corporate responsibility in promoting ethical environmentally and socially conscious business practices, and start to put customers first.

Right decision by the Stagecoach Board not to accept the new rail pension rules. UK rail franchising is now a busted business model. With the benefit of hindsight it would have been wise and sensible to hold on to their North American operations, future earnings growth and debt service payments are now a serious issue for the company.

Cheap money and weak sterling have increasingly put a lot UK companies under the takeover spotlight I think it is highly unlikely another bank or financial institution will table an outright bid for Lloyds in the foreseeable future, however i do envisage a marked increase in future mergers and consolidation within the global banking sector and especially amongst the UK small challenger banks.

Crowcast. You got it in one !. like you say a positive move by the Bank.

longtimeinvestor. " tonge in cheek comment " however not the best of days to be repurchasing shares, quite a few purchased at 65.30P.

Yes EX dividend today. Drop expected ! did anyone inform UBS that the share price would almost certainly drop 2P + today when they were busily repurchasing shares at 65P+ yesterday.

Banks outside Italy are holding almost 500 Billion Euros of Italian debt, including UK banks Barclays and HSBC. At the moment there seems to be no let up in the demand for Italian debt bonds on global financial markets.

Totally misleading, the figures do not take into account the growing number of young people who are on benefit sanctions, long term sickness and forced labour programmes.

pintofhsb agree. Nigel Farage a multi - millionare offshore tax evader and a one- trick political pony, who has built his entire political career on leaving the EU, while happily taking its hefty salary as an MEP.

Trent700. UK transport and former owned state utility stocks are not a good place to have your money invested in, at the moment.

By all means take your profit today, providing you see greater value elswhere in the market to reinvest your gains, there will always be another buying opportunity waiting around the corner to reinvest back into Lloyds again.

Lloyds are not confident the current share price trading range can be maintained due to Brexit uncertainty and a possible future Corbyn - led Labour Government, which may result in huge downward pressure to the share price over the coming weeks and months.

Banks in Germany, France and Belgium are at most risk from Italy's debt contagion. In or out of the EU, the deepening vicious debt crisis encircling EU member states has yet to deliver a " sucker-punch" to the UK financial system.

I would expect a measurable increase in shorting activity against UK banks over the coming weeks. Short- sellers do not destroy value in a company any more than stock buyers create it. Countering contrarian short-sellers can also be highly profitable for traders.

Troajan. Friday night post. I was commenting on the guy in question and his investment approach risk strategy, not French Banks.

Troajan. A bottom - up approach guy, who lacks sufficient focus and understanding on emerging market risks.

Incredibly low daily buyback rate for the month of march. Lloyds are clearly keeping their powder dry while Brexit uncertainty clouds the outlook for the share price.

Asperger. The prospect of a future Corbyn-led labour Government would not be well recieved on financial markets, and would have catastrophic effect to the share prices of UK banking sector and former owned state utility stocks.

Bruce. Investors need to take a cautious approach, agree in a normal market the share price would be determined primarily by fundamentals, however it does not take into account Brexit related market psychology and sentiment which will ultimately dictate the future direction of the share price.

The deepening political chaos and business uncertainty over the potential of a no-deal Brexit, has put the share price on a knife edge, and a strong possibility we will see a downward retracement of the share price back into the 50s again.

Small amount in relation to the size of the UKs financial sector, the assets in question will be under strict ECB regulation and supervision policy.
