Heard all the assumed shite from the 80s to low 50s and all the excuses in between - cuts no ice.

Increasing Divi and SP is just here say and wishful thinking based on hope.

There ain't many ambulances to chase these days - so they say.

Make your own way to A&E. The chashers have their own lounge with tea & coffee facilities - burgers are extra.

Brucey - right! It is manipulation and banned as such.

Investing is about extracting a return from your investment in cash with minimal risk.

How people perceive this is a matter for them.

Pillarts - if it were me, I'd be concerned about bail-ins ect. A word forgotten but will be used in any financial crisis in the future. Many will say I'd sell - yeah right.

Risky business where financial institutions are concerned.

Expect a parlimentary select committee hearing and a few raked over the hot coals - again!

Same old, blah blah blah.

We've had all this before. All the numbers, if this and that were sorted and out the way ect, the sky the limit. Strange how Lloyd's looks so good but the SP is on it's arse. Why are the big boys avoiding it? - what's not attractive? - answer that. Brexit doesn't cut it either, and imo isn't the problem. The real reason should be obvious. As for a takeover, in your dreams, unless a bullit is aim at your head. As a positive, it's an income stream at the moment. As for growth protential and ideas, the buyback says it all - there ain't none.. It's a bank, cleaner than most, but a bank. It deals in lending money, and so far so good. That will change to dealing with defaults and delinquencies with the obvious knock-ons. Low risk? - hardly.

Strong Sell through all time frames.

Bit further back than Harold.

5000 years BC

Lloyd's are paying too much. They did in the first buyback.

Time will tell.

You're right there Shrimper. Doing exactly that in France.

Sound of Crickets
Smell of freshly cut grass
Cup of coffee in a Tabac
Selling yellow jackets to passers by

What's not to like!
Watching Lloyd's going up

Excluding the ones they should include is bad enough.

Now we all know we can't trust governments don't we.

The UKs unemployment rate of 3.8% is a complete load of bollocs - 3- 4 times that.

German ZEW sentiment ain't bad, coming off minus -25 in 18. Can only see it worsening.

Gino, I wouldn't know either. Don't come from or live in Yorkshire.

Whatever keeps Shrimper happy is good enough for me.

5 year low

Deutsche Bank kissing the lows

I'll let you know Shrimper if she buys the first round. Always have your pocket linings hanging out on your first date.

Usually saves a lot of talking.

LY, that's true.

Down 700

Shrimper, put it in your back pocket, go on holiday, buy a telly and a few pints. And spend a few Bob on the misses - you're along time dead.

I think the sellers are thanking the buyers.

As for Brexit holding back on the Lloyd's rocket fuel is misguided also.

Anything effecting the US markets like today with the trade war bullshite, a tweet, a dropped word, data, will down markets and Lloyd's. When true price discovery kicks in again expect worse.

Investors ride the QE gravy train to the point of demishing returns and bigger debt levels. Markets on run on tweets these days. Fundermentals are out, tweets are in. Strange world

The French have big balls - the UK none. Who'd a thought.
