"It does make you think when no other country reacted why they did it for half a person."
Which makes it even more bizarre that the first thoughts of a French minister was to call for reciprocal measures on arrivals from the United Kingdom just because of the UK's actions.
They can't forget Agincourt :-))

Al the posts headed Seismic data have just been removed this morning, perhaps DT did make LSE aware as he threatened to do.

FFS, pick the bones out of this post. What are you trying to say.

"A sustained recovery is by no means assured."

"The recovery is gaining traction."

"The economy does not expect to get back to its pre-pandemic size until the end of next year."

"Official forecaster, expects the recovery to take even longer."

That's all positions covered then, make your own mind up, what a load of slabber.

With that price you'll make more than your outlaws on this one BG.........GL.

BrassG, absolutely no idea don't trade support and resistance myself, they are only guidance in my book. But what I can say is that things can turn on a sixpence, resistance can quickly turn into support and vice versa.
With most bankers and traders working from home I wonder if this year will be different as the senior guys are usually floating around the Med or wherever during August plus Europe comes to a standstill during August.
Don't believe things will change much until the schools return, but you never know.

Undoubtedly Oxo there was a lot of untoward behaviour going on around that time and as yet Lloyds still has questions to answer even though some were jailed.
I was not aware of the Bristol branch involvement.
The Reading 'bunch' have long since formed a group and they are very organized throughout the S East. I've met some of them and they're not going anywhere soon.
Although they've been offered compensation most have rejected this as a derisory sum, except Mr Bobby of course who took the money and ran. I guess he's sold his one lloy share by now.

No idea what being a Europhile has to do with gender, race or age, oh well some people's thought processes I guess. You'll be back to invoking Godwin's Law again, don't forget we've already been there.

Another scandal is threatening to engulf Lloyds Bank boss Antonio Horta-Osorio before he signs off next year.
The Portuguese chief executive has admitted he knew of an alleged fraud in the HBOS Bristol branch which may have affected hundreds of small business customers.
Lloyds may now face a criminal inquiry over the events in Bristol, which could drag in figures including Horta-Osorio.

New row threatens to engulf Antonio's last days as Lloyds boss https://thismon.ee/a/8616657

Have you noticed how grave and dismal the MSM are when reporting negative figures, at -20.4 % no-one is pretending they are good but they come across like it's a news scoop.
It's like they forget the country has been at a virtual standstill for the last 6 months, what did they expect!!!!

This is the way most online brokers state your purchase price.
Any additional trading profit or loss of the same equity is reflected in the stated purchase price of that equity.
It can get misleading when you have the same shares in different accounts, another reason to keep your own records.

Often wondered about this and how much they're making.
I have a SIPP, and two ISA's with them and obviously not fully invested all of the time.

The level of the price cap will fall by £84 from October to its lowest level £1,042, driven by lower wholesale energy costs following COVID-19
The level of the cap for prepayment meter customers will fall by £95
Ofgem recommends the price cap remains in place in 2021 which would ensure that 15 million households continue to pay a fair price for their energy.

BOE: Britain's banks hold enough capital to keep on lending and absorb the losses that are likely to arise due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank of England said.
No worries then, but as this is the BOE they can always review/revise their thinking and as we all know they do that quite often.

BOE, independent in name only, owned by the government/us with, at the outset a limited brief to set the rate and control a 2% inflation rate.
Government's abused and used the BOE to enhance forthcoming general elections.

Even now the government of the day can intervene in decision processes when it wants, so like I said independent in name only.

For all you Lloyds knockers and challenger bank enthusiasts out there take a look at Metro this morning, half year results not well received.
Is there another cash call on the cards.
Currently -10%.
Best stick with Lloyds.

At this moment in time I'd go for the 2.5k.

I read a few days ago some are advocating $2500.
Then of course there is the 3k brigade.

Que Sera, Sera

UK PMI still positive (53.3)
Gold closing on $2000
Just saying.

The coronavirus crisis and worsening tensions between the US and China dealt a double blow to HSBC (HSBA.L) during the first half of its financial year, with pre-tax profits plunging 65% to $4.3bn (£3.3bn).
