You said that 6 year's ago. Zzzzzzzzzz.

Good news NBoy, 70p will do for me, that's over 20% increase on tonight's closing price.
You should buy some, instead of moaning about a democratic process.
Just wait until we leave, sky's the limit.

I wrote this a couple of weeks ago I see nothing has changed BoomerBower, there aren't many on here who have not been filtered by Crowcast.
I don't know if he actually filters anyone, if he does he forgets, but it's his way of ending the debate. you know how he likes to have the last word lol.

Just replying to your post CC as I always do until you decide that the discussion is finished.
As you know it usually ends with you filtering peeps who you don't agree with or have lost the debate.

Precisely Mick, but it used to be 30%.
Before the UK joined the EEC in January 1973, it was the destination for 30% of New Zealand exports, amounting to 8% of the country's economic activity or GDP. But from that point, New Zealand exporters faced the EEC's common external tariff.
You see it's the protectionist EU with their external tariff that buggered it.
But the farmers adapted.
When we break free from the EU's shackles, all will be fine.
Klefitko anyone!

I still get New Zealand lamb if I want it, where does that come from, oh yeah New Zealand lol.
I only mention New Zealand because we sort of dumped them when we joined the EU, they were very fearful but talk to them now and it was a lot of fuss about nothing.
Just like we're going through now with Brexit.
You adapt or die.

40 % of the EU budget is set aside for farmers, the majority of which goes to the richest farmers with the largest farms. Wouldn't you rear up if there's a chance that all these payments could cease, and the rich have the louder voices.
Agriculture in the EU only accounts for 1% of GDP, explain that?
The CAP is the biggest misuse of tax payers money and we are charged more than 15% higher food prices than the rest of the world for the privilege.
It's a rip off and you're trying to defend it Crowcast.
Have a look at how New Zealand's farmers coped when we left them on their own after we joined the EU.
Nobody likes change least of all the farmers with their cosy set up, they will have to adapt but they don't want to.

Crowcast, nothing to do with number of buyers and sellers then?
You know supply and demand.

Cheers Wids, I see that post has been removed also.

Quite a few fan's you're amassing there snitch, oops I mean livestock, lol.

To quote you livestock "this is a Lloyds share chat page."
What relevance is Chinese retail data to Lloyds Banking group?
Lloyds are a UK financial services group,
the business is focused on retail and commercial financial services.

Brexit has more influence on the Lloyds SP.
Difficult just posting about Lloy isn't it.
You need to practice what you preach livestock or your posts might get reported and removed.
Just saying.

What prompted this latest observation
IoweitalltoBEM?
8 posts in 8 years, have you just been
revived yourself, I guess that's it then, back to cryopreservation for another year.
You never know the Swedes may have made a decision by then, but then again...........

Butmac, for a quick look I use Investing.com, live prices, plus all that you mentioned.
If you want decent charts Trading View is great but use a pc, really not for a mobile.

13 posts in 11years?

Is this for real he must have been a snowflake?

A senior Northern Ireland civil servant was paid £10,000 in compensation because he was offended at having to walk past portraits of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, it has emerged.
His complaints led to the portraits being removed at his request, and replaced by a picture of the Queen meeting Martin McGuinness, the former deputy first minister of Northern Ireland and ex-IRA leader.

This is not just any Happiness Index, this is a Lloyds Happiness Index.

Oh, that's ok to post then lol.

Think I'm right in saying that Europe chooses the IMF leader and USA chooses the World Bank leader.
That said I see Mark Carney hasn't ruled out the IMF job but other candidates are emerging. Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan and former UK chancellor George Osborne.
However it's been reported that France and Germany have agreed to support a German candidate, although they have denied it.
Seems to me all they want is "yes" men (or woman) probably discussed at some length at Davos earlier.
Carney praised current IMF chief Christina Lagarde, saying she is “extremely well suited for [the ECB] at these times.”
To me that means never mind the best qualified, as long as they fit in with our thinking, they qualify.
We don't want someone with a different stance, especially with a recession looming.
It's all political.

Is this is slowly heading down to 185p as is sometimes the case when a cash call is initiated?
Just saying.

"RE: Deutsche Bank08 Jul 2019 19:08
Deutsche bank has its own chat page if you and others want to chat Deutsche or brexit, politics, weather, Scotland, during the hrs of trading you should jog on and maybe more Lloyds investors would be hear."

Well after reporting all the "non" Lloyds posters and getting posts not to your liking removed, guess you've got your wish livestock, but where's all the Lloyds investors?
You'll be posting to yourself soon.

The Chairman's statement.
12 paragraphs about Brexit and the last one almost an afterthought......
"The Company's expectation for our annual results is unchanged for the current financial year."
It's pretty clear where he stands, the business is ok, but let's get Brexit done, love it.

After all, as virtually the last man standing in London’s once burgeoning iron ore sector, Beowulf has rather surprisingly become the go-to stock, even though it can’t get its project permitted. Zanaga is in the Congo, which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

But another more serious factor is the long-standing participation of Swedish directors and investors.

Back in the early days Bob Young used to take to stages at promotional events with strange gnarly Swedes in tow who would go on to talk complex geology in obscure Nordic accents that no-one could understand.

But the message that came over was clear enough: if Bob was going to create an ad-hoc collection of assets of indeterminate value with very little medium or long-term upside, he was at least going to do it with local Swedish support.

And over time, the Swedes have stayed with the company and kept buying, in a manner comparable to the way that UK investors are irrationally attracted to Sirius Minerals.

Indeed, the most significant statistic on Beowulf’s well-laid out website is that more than 62% of its investors are Swedish.

There is a long and in-depth history of mining in Sweden, and it could be that the Swedes know something about the permitting scene in their own country that remains obscure to UK-based investors.

Or it could simply be that Bob Young is looking down, having been promoted to the status of best geologist in a higher place, and is still guiding the company forward in his own inimicable way.

There's some old names mentioned in this article.
LTH will remember them.

For old stagers in the mining industry who remember the late Bob Young, the continuing rise of Beowulf Mining looks very much like the triumph of hope over experience.
For a while Bob was touted as the best geologist in London until wags pointed out that being a good geologist in the Smoke was of no use at all to shareholders. Where the good geos were actually wanted was out in the field.
Still, Bob was well-liked and Beowulf Mining became a fixture on the mining scene with its ramshackle collection of projects, its periodic dilutionary raises and its connections to another great stalwart of the old days, Bruce Rowan.

Could anyone have foreseen that it would actually become one of the great survivors where mightier challengers like Northland Resources fell by the wayside?
The answer, given Bob’s bumbling promotional efforts, would have been an emphatic no.

And yet as we speak, Beowulf Mining is now capitalised at a handsome £39mln. True, it has still yet to produce a single tonne of iron ore or ounce of gold and its major project in Sweden is still mired in permitting confusion.

But the salient point remains.

With a £39mln market capitalisation Beowulf has confounded expectations and significantly outperformed peers.

Indeed, it’s worth two and half times as much as Condor Gold (LON:CNR), another company born in the same era, which has also continuously been funded by dilutionary raises.

It’s worth more than five times as much another peer from the mid-2000s, Firestone Diamonds (LON:FDI), which has lately been hit by weak diamond prices.

Okay, it’s perhaps not that instructive to compare this old iron ore stager to junior gold or diamond miners, but the weird and wonderful truth is that none of its iron ore peers have survived to endure the comparison.

Gone are the likes of Northland, Bellzone, African Minerals, Afferro, West African Minerals, IMIC and London Mining.

Ferrum Crescent has moved out of iron ore to focus on Spanish zinc, and Ironveld (LON:IRON) isn’t actually involved in iron ore at all. By-the-by, Beowulf is worth more than six times the value of both of these companies put together.

True, Zanaga Iron Ore (LON:ZIOC) is still knocking around, but that was a relative latecomer to the party, having only listed in 2011.

And guess what? – although Zanaga raised £62mln on listing and was capitalised at over £430mln on its first day of dealings, yes, you’ve got it - with a market capitalisation of just £32mln, it is now worth less than Beowulf Mining.

What accounts for this strange anomaly?

It would be tempting to argue that Beowulf’s resilience and indeed renaissance is down to the remarkable bounce that iron ore prices have lately enjoyed following VALE’s catastrophes in Brazil and supply constraints out of Australia. That surely is part of the story.
