RE: Anyone want to talk Lloyds?28 May 2018 11:39
No shares are safe to short term political events movements its case of will they bounce back in time back to the price I bought as long as the Dividend is good I should be OK medium term
Also I feel if, I am going to invest my hard earn cash into the stock market, I happy to invest and sit in Lloyds Bank shares, maybe working in the Financial sector may help here, I see how Banks make money :-) and the odd bad loan etc
It helps I feel holding shares like Lloyds will rid out any storm cos she's UKs No1 Bank
Shares are like any investment, its a gamble, I could buy 1 2nd house tomorrow and the following week start seeing a down turn in the housing market , unlike share prices that can dive 50% within 6 months but recover is rapid , and we all can top up with little gold nugget up ups , House prices on the hand don't , you have no choice but to sit on negative equity for years
Also I feel the markets over looked the Irish Loan book sale no much media, Mr Blobby wanted that one ...
BUT I honestly feel I need to make sure I am lock, Stock and barrel here for 2019 onward until I when choose to retire
I don't have a Crystal Ball so I just carry topping up while I feel she's on the cheap side :-)
HAPPY BANK HOILDAY ALL
