FTSE / DOW YTD

Morning!

DOW on sale @25,239, FTSE @7,767.

I wish I'd taken the FTSE short!!

What Brexit? Investors warm to UK stocks as M&A surges

I wish I'd closed my LLOY CFD long when FTSE was at 7767!

All very strange. Selling off LLOY but significant buying on RBS. Like they are switching from one to another?

Unfortunately I hold quite a lot of LLOY whereas I only have RBS on a recent S/B.

I'm pretty disappointed in both LLOY and RBS share prices.

I really never thought I'd see LLOY down here again. It was 62.x yesterday or the day before and given the support from the dividend yield and share buyback I was really surprised.

I can't be bothered to look at the chart as it will pain me but we were up at 80 a couple of years ago and since then the bank has made good progress.

More surprisingly when it did hit 62.x I didn't buy any more as I went for MARS instead which is giving me 7.8% dividend and I think more upside on a two year time horizon. which is probably all you need to know about UK shares. Everything is undervalued.

I am now back to 99.5% fully invested and have no more cash until I get some more dividends. There's nothing I want to sell either.

Lots of stuff still looks crazy cheap to me but it ain't just LLOY and RBS. i've been thinking that for the last 2 years though.

Morning all

Good morning!

Morning!

Daily Briefing: G7 - and then there were six

I find myself the proud (?) owner of some more LLOY CFD's at 62.99 Gulp

I have traded LLoy. since 2013, and looking back, have about a 10% yearly return.

Unfortunately, bought SBs and shares again 57.5 and 68, expecting 75-78p.

But, the more I look at its yoyo price changes and response to market news beginning to wish I had bet on something else.

Continuing to hold for time being.

Disappointing.
