SUFCESSEX, Good Morning,
Please stop ramping Barc and Lloyds, no need for it mate, thanks.
ATB, Cheers, Falky."
Mr moderator, aka Falklandinvestor.
So it's ok for you to do it but not others.
In your own words 'UNBELIEVABLE'
Anything to say?

I fail to see how Evergrande is responsible for a minor drop in the FTSE this morning. Currently c20 (-0.25%) points to the minus, hardly worth a mention.
There's been some profit taking on the recent oil price surge with miners easing back, after all, these sectors have the most influence on the FTSE levels.
Just saying.

Getting close to 200 posts a day on here, (over 60 already today) mostly peeps trying their best to convince others, and themselves that the SP is going to rise or fall with lots of talk of ramping / de-ramping.
Just how anyone on here could ramp/deramp a company with 4,961 million issued shares and certainly no liquidity problems is beyond me.
Anyone of you experts care to enlighten the BB?

Clearly IAG is in free fall atm and judging by the comments of some, I can only guess that a majority here are holding, hoping and waiting for some sort of turnaround.
Of course when that happens expect a few posts from the 'hindsights' explaining how they sold and bought back.
Funny how they are not so forthcoming in real time.

Skindle nailed it yesterday with this -
"Only fools try to predict the movement of the market. Just post relevant information about THIS company please."

The unexpected inflation fall to 3.1% could delay/postpone any base rate rise.

Falkland, feel free to post about any subject you like.
You may get a pleasant surprise with some of the replies instead of the ones you are used to when posting your Lloyds positions.
But you can't be an arbitrator on this BB like you have in the past, for instance your dislike of political content.
Incidentally politics is probably the one subject that has most influence on Lloyds SP.

There used to be some good debates about all manner of subjects on here especially at the weekends. Now admittedly some got out of hand and that's when the reporting started. This of course got admin involved and consequently the Lloyds BB is probably monitored more than most, it is after all a free forum to join and participate so there has to be some control/regulation.

You often get comments like "this is a Lloyds BB" when posters talk about other shares, you will never please everyone. No matter what you post somebody will take umbrage.

PS, I share your liking of Barolo.

Which category do you slot into Gazzleberry?

I agree Disinform, a derisory increase of 0.1% .... I can see the headlines now. BOE doubles base rates!!!

The consensus here seems to be for a base rate rise next month/this year followed by another uptick during the first 3 months next year.
It's just a matter of which news source you read.
People always have a pop at the Motley whenever someone mentions them but other financial reporting outlets are no better, they just seem to have more kudos.
Financial journalist are just making a living whoever they write for.

FOR.
The BoE, facing a rise in inflation, looks set to be the first major central bank to raise interest rates since the beginning of the pandemic.
The pound jumped against the dollar on Monday after BoE governor Andrew Bailey stressed the need to prevent inflation from becoming permanently embedded, and fellow policymaker Michael Saunders said households must brace for "significantly earlier" interest rate rises.

AGAINST.
The Bank of England should not raise interest rates to tackle a surge in inflation caused by higher prices for energy and semi-conductors if it thinks these effects will be short-lived, BoE policymaker Silvana Tenreyro said.
Investors currently expect the BoE to raise interest rates from their current 0.1% before the end of the year, but last month's BoE policy minutes showed officials were split over whether certain pre-conditions for a rate rise had been met.

A reported slowdown of the August GDP data released on Wednesday showed Britain's economy is on course to grow by less in the third quarter than the BoE had forecast.
Who knows? Not even Andrew Bailey, although he probably has a bit more sway, it's all waffle until they vote.

He's boldly gone and he's come back again!
In the time it took William Shatner, Lloyds SP rose from 47.568 to 47.623.
Just another piece of useless information to add to all the other on here.

SR1, I don't disagree with you regarding LBG.
However my last post was about positivity or in this case the lack of it.
My reference to MKS was in response to your own assessment which was severely lacking in your understanding of "the fundamentals and what does it mean in current situation and market" as you put it.
With phrases like "i think they are heading to disaster and bankrupcy soon, the shops are dead empty, food business quality dropped massively" Sounds to me your assessment was just an observation and dismissive.

I'm not saying M&S is without problems, what company isn't, but we clearly disagree, and I believe it has further to run even though the sector is somewhat out of fashion (no pun intended).
For info I'm invested in MKS, currently +52% to the good. I know these have been unprecedented times but not too shabby for less than 12 months return.
Each to his own.

re: stockready
"at last someone positve !! keep it up"
Well he wasn't very positive on MKS this morning was he? Come to think of it neither were you Falkland.
Just for the record MKS advanced nearly double Lloyds today percentage wise, and you thought Lloyds were having a good day.
See what I mean about advice.
Just saying.

Still here Suzy, look in now and again.

"the investigation must report by 22 Oct 22" that's convenient just after next year's election. Don't expect anything any time soon then.

You can disagree and say whatever about lbjj, but as I've said before, his postings been absolutely correct surely no-one can deny him that.

"can I exchange a dividend for more shares"
Yes.

Gate, I heard some opposition idiot talking about the potential forthcoming interest rate rises, saying this will fall disproportionately on mortgage holders indicating it's not fair.
You couldn't make it up, do these moron's ever stop moaning.

That last post was about RDSb.

I seem to remember a comment I made at the time, (on the Lloyds BB) funny no-one said at the time this is a Lloyds BB lol. I think it was about difficulty getting a quote or something, can't remember.
Little did anyone know what was to come.

This so-called money owed (withheld divided). Personally I'm not expecting it to be paid in 'one lump' not even as a special, it will probably be added on to existing dividends a bit at a time, but you never know.
It will booster the yield and they'll drag that out over an extended period.
Just my thoughts.

Just looked at my records Lti, my purchase of RDSB was 19th March 2020 @ 926p, around the start of the first lockdown, mind you I've bought and sold a few times since then.

"I know many wealthy people" Scandi, the thing is most of them are masquerading on here as successful investors/traders.
