More on the fragilities of the eurozone.
Don't worry Lagarde is sorting it.

ERV, he sure is a know it all argumentative fuquer, remember that spat about PPE.
You learn nothing from life if you think you're right all the time.

If you believe that anything said on here has an impact on Lloyds share price then look above.

Yes snige, I read the article and I'm well aware of the Swedish political system. The social democrats are part of a coalition that took if I remember correctly 5 months to form a government.
I have some monies in Beowulf an AIM company who are waiting on an exploration concession from this government. The greens part of the coalition with only 3% of the vote are it seems, trying to stop it.
Beowulf have only been waiting for 7 years for this to be granted.
That's the liberals for yer, long on rhetoric short on action.

Bit late with the construction PMI figures livestock, how's the Russian figures?

Well done Seismic, you've been a member here for 2 weeks and just had your first post removed by admin.
Seems even they are fed up with your mindless rantings.

Bit early to be predicting the next general election results Walkersworld. How do you come to the conclusion that "Kier Starmer has a very high possibility in being the next PM in 2024 general election?"
He ain't done anything yet, he ain't said anything yet he needs to think on his feet a bit instead of the script.

I know it doesn't help Lloyds shareholders but it adds to the debate.

Seismic, I thought you were not responding anymore.
So many errors and inaccuracies in your replies, not to mention your emotions about the European experiment clouding your reasoning, there's just too much to correct you.

You're on a loser trying to defend the EU set up as some sort of utopia, it's bought more misery across that continent that any resident of the UK could comprehend.
Have an early night, you'll be up in time for tomorrow's Guardian.

We got a problem.....These European s.h.i.t. weasels, you gotta laugh.

Like I said "Whatever scheme they come up with and give it a different name it's still QE."
This was all about PEPP that's the ECB’s pandemic emergency purchase programme it's a non-standard monetary policy measure.
Give em three months (should have been 3 weeks) to come up with an explanation.
If yer central banks actions are being continually challenged through the courts you know the writing is on the wall for the Euro.
It's all about Germany protecting their interests. Don't worry all you Europhiles Lagarde will sort it.

Wasn't trying to be objective Darth, it was a genuine comment and thanks for the apology.
Don't believe these BB's are just for taking chunks out of each other, but the Lloyds BB is well known for that.
Now I know everyone has different opinions and some even have the wrong political persuasion [sic] but surely it should be a forum for the sharing of ideas etc. It's hard enough trying to get some sort of investment returns as it is, after all that's why we are here, although I sometimes wonder.
Just saying.

Useful as a hedge Bruce.

Darth.Trader Re; your gap on the UKX.L if you believe it will get filled why not short it.
This is not advice but why not try LandGs SUK2 moves in reverse (approx double) to the FTSE. Current price just over £9.
For info, I've been invested here a few times and believe it could be time to get back in again as I think peeps are getting ahead themselves.
Worth a punt imo.

I've just climbed aboard again, what's not to like. Just take advantage of the here and now, nevermind the future and don't be frightened to take a profit.
GLA.

Result as expected, same as last time in that it QE doesn't violate German Law.
Haven't seen if they intend to make some restrictions on certain ECB actions, that's what this action was really about.

QE, that's literally the last tool in the box, because you can forget so-called Corona bonds. Whatever scheme they come up with and give it a different name it's still QE.

This case is ongoing, someone won't give up.
Germany's Constitutional Court will rule on the legality of the European Central Bank's bond purchases on Tuesday, settling an existential challenge to a scheme credited with keeping the euro zone afloat during crises including the coronavirus pandemic.
Amassing nearly 3 trillion euros (2.6 trillion pounds) of bonds since 2015, the ECB has long relied on quantitative easing to support the economy. With much of the euro zone now in lockdown to halt the spread of the virus, it plans to print another trillion euros to keep borrowing costs down for companies and governments.
But a group of academics in Germany has long argued that the ECB is overstepping its mandate, and that these buys constitute direct financing of governments -- a contravention of the central bank's obligations under the European Treaty.

Well I guess he meant HITLER but he wrote HILTER, the old can get confused sometimes.
BTW JR, it didn't take you long to invoke Godwin's Law when talking about A1, you may want to have another think about that one.
Just saying.

Early doors yet, but the FTSE negative ATM.
