Does anyone think we will have a fall in prices soon if war breaks out between Russia and Ukraine , if war does break out and Russia takes Ukraine it could leave the EU 's eastern countries more exposed for a ramping up of tensions , this could affect the markets in the short term or even cause a bear market as many analysts are predicting will happen in the nearish future .

thanks for your reply , re vote date

hi all
how and when do we vote please , I have not had any notification from my broker .

hi Dagger
its odd cos he pops up up now and again on one of my other Boards, that I read but never says much , and nothing controversial , its a gold stock , I think he did say he was in fact bullish on precious metals , GLA

I have been watching the SP for last few days drifting lower and yes it may go sub 200p as you say , however I don't see it going as low as you forecast 150p/170p , the only way it will go that low is with some really bad bit of news , I feel the SP is based on sentiment at the moment and not fundamentals , so as long as news is stable and no dramatic problems I just don't see it going anywhere near your forecast , all IMO

hi viking/ speedie , I can't believe it we've always been in the football league for as long as I can remember , sad day if the drop out as I fear they will take a long time to come back if ever , the bod probably see all those office blocks being converted and have ££££££ signs in their eyes GLA

sorry can't see £ 2.50 tomorrow , I agree it may rise during the day but, not to that level , hope I'm wrong but I would be surprised GLA

to my mind its not about paper loss from the all time high people should concentrate on , I would look at the paper gain from the price you bought at, much more satisfaction in that , that will surely bring a smile to your face , GLA

Astra vaccine should be withdrawn from france and Germany if they're not going to use it or , if the populations of those countries are refusing to have it , let the UK have their quotas so we can vaccinate our population quicker , its political and now they've caused uncertainty with their own people , they'll get what they deserve come election time , I hope we can maintain better relations with the rest of Europe though

hi yes thats the one I saw this morning , some of what he says does indeed resonate with our current position thanks

as Aparma stated before we had 71 b shares and a SP of 85p so its possible , and would love to see it there again , but not sure it will get there in the near future , LBG is mainly focused on the UK retail market , not sure that would be enough to grow the company to a 50b plus market cap , share reduction would help imo, maybe the new CEO will give the black horse some wings and the bank moves into other areas to improve profits etc , I don't think being a housing landlord will be as fruitful as they would like , too many tenants know how to work the system as previously mentioned

@PSK
yes you're probably right , I guess thats the best we can expect , at least we have some dividends now , hopefully they will also improve in the fullness of time , Good luck

@PSK
yes thats my point PSK how can this share ever become 80p or 120p with so many shares in circulation , I think the next CEO would need to buy back a great many shares to improve the SP to be anywhere near what many posters would like , myself included GLA

PSK
thanks for that PSK , so do the LTH here believe thats a realistic market cap for LBG , or is it somewhere between the current MC and the possible MC at £1 , thanks GLA

hi all do we think that LBG market cap is valued at between £ 50/80 billion , am I right in thinking that a share price of 70/120 p would make LBG market cap at those numbers , just asking as I may be confused , happy for someone to point out to me if I am right or wrong , thanks , GLA

some really wild SP predictions today , I agree with some , but sub 100 not sure I see that , but hey what do I know , interesting few days ahead , GLA

you did not mention disliking the uk that is correct , but when you start calling people clowns for voting to leave the EU I did take exception to that , yes you are entititled to your opinion and I apologise if I was a bit harsh , but the EU has not covered itself in glory with the vaccine roll out and that will impact the UK , had they got the vaccine program sorted then they would have been on an equal footing with the UK and US and others , yet they decided to move slowly then delay then stop and finally restart the vaccine program from a position even further back than before , by doing so they have allowed the people to be endangered even further , where are the clowns really , in the UK ,no ,they are in control of the EU , for what its worth I am a euro citizen so its not that I take the British position totally all the time

johnbri
who gives a toss , lucky you being able to go to the canaries at all , as for clowns look at yourself for wanting to be a part of that bunch of clowns , they've ****ed up the vaccine program and that will have a knock on effect here by holding back the uk by default , if you dislike it here so much why not go live there and take citizenship , or is it you want to stay a brit so you can get the best of both worlds .

Hi all , I too see a fall back in the sp due to the negative news regarding holidays in Europe , and I know the US will open up before the EU , but not sure if going to the US , Israel and a few limited countries is enough for the IAG group , obviously the US opening up is great for BA , but BA is not the whole of IAG , therefore if the rest of IAG is not flying to a decent capacity any profits BA make on their flight will be negated by the rest of the group , this will be a temporary fall back imo so a chance to add on the possible fall back GLA

Castle
lol yes he did call 80p and 50p as did you , he also called RR 50p and lloyds 15p and yes iag did in fact touch 89p but it did not stay there , and he was still saying it was going back to 80p and sub 100p once vaccine news was being reported ,so please lets not hold him up as some sort of guru
