Dorfan, it is called 'hedging your bets', so off you trot now and google that, so you can get your head around tbe concept.

"The average consensus surrounding Lloyds’ share price continues to hover around 93p. Compared to where the stock’s trading today, that represents a potential 12% gain. However, some analysts are notably more bullish.

For example, earlier this month, JP Morgan raised its 12-month share price forecast from 85p to 98p. Meanwhile, the team at Jefferies is even more optimistic, increasing its expectations for Lloyds to 103p from 92p. That suggests an 18%-23% gain could emerge by this time next year. And in terms of money, a £1,000 investment today could reach up to £1,230.

Needless to say, the prospect of Lloyds finally returning above the £1 threshold for the first time since 2008’s quite exciting. "

Lloyds and other UK banks have had a fair wind behind them for quite a while. Don't be taken by the dodoom-monger, predicting the sky will fall it. Just ignore the political spin!

This has been a bumper year so far and it looks like TFE will win the EOYC with his closing price prediction of 90p.

Only the foolish would be taken in and sell now!

Denby69, yes the forthcoming budget has created a lot of uncertainty for lloyds, but the backdrop is that lloyds shares has rocketed with Labour in power. We can argu that there were other factors at play here, but what I don't see is the cataclysmic fallout that was predicted by the right on bank shares, if Labour came to power. Equally, I think it is again negative spin by those with a vested interested that keep flogging the dead horse that Labour are bad for business and banking.

Ollerdeekid, yes very tempting to cash in on lloyds, given the sp. I see an increasing amount of chatter about a possible market correction, the current state of geopolitics being the trigger, along with US commercial real estate and office space being overvalued, with a correction imminent. You could play it both ways, so sell 50% and keep the remainder.

Now that we've recognised Palestine, next we need to boycott the eurovision, if Israel don't withdraw! Several countries have already signed up to do this!

Uptheladder, it's not anti-British or anti-English to highlight the cancer within this society!

Woke Britain - I am a rac15t thug who supports Tommy Robinson, Reform UK, hate foeigners. I want self-identify as a bible thumper, even though I don't attend church, believe there is a God or afterlive but I want to wave a cross around for good measure.

Neil Kinnock tells Keir Starmer.

The far right nutters seem to by copycatting the far right nutters in the USA and embracing religion.

So now we have far right nutters in the UK who have an England or British flag in one hand and a cross in the other.

LOL, about 1% of Christians in the UK go to the church on a weekly basis!

Evening Dorfan, I of course accept that Labour are doing terribly at the polls at the moment, but that is very typical mid cycle.

Joe public has the attention span of a goldfish and six months before the next election Labour will throw some sweetners to the electorate and easily cruise to a second term in power!

I've been using AI quite a bit over the last week but it is for tidying up images. But in terms of meaningful debate on any given topic I prefer to hear real peoples view, so I don't read AI generated content that folks post on here.

Reform are a single issue party and lack either the experience or breadth of knowledge to run a town council, never mind the country.

And will have lost momentum and popularity, by the time the next election comes around!

Defence analyst and strategist Nicholas Drummond said the country should be taking the risk posed by Russia more seriously and preparing for a potential future conflict.

To be honest I think we need to reintroduce conscription again.

It will be mandatory to swear allegiance to king and country, above all others. or its off on the banana boat on a one way ticket with you.

ATISHA, "He wants them in for future votes, the same as Khan does with Muslim votes, even from dead people, to be Mayor."

That is complete nonsense!

Is due to be recognised by the British government today!

Again!

MV, is your memory slipping?

For the umpteenth time, I am invested in the UK, I vote in UK general elections and referendums, I frequently have to use the UK decrepit transport infrastructure and law and order in the UK matter to me also.

Harleygreen, there was compromise by all sides, but thankfully the dialogue they engaged in, delivered a lasting peace!
