You also said BARC would never drop to 270p again.

Falling Knives - Steer Clear until at least another 50% Drop - even then I wouldn't want them !

harry it is down to very poor management

Why would the government want to give away worthless shares..lol.

has a life long tory ,
this osborne and gov are rubbish .
and have not got a clue

On that I agree.

But probably better than anything else on offer. (I'll now go and hide from Fred)

have now lowered my target to 38p

what a silly idea to give voters shares lets get them back up to 75p and sell
them i do not want any .more bother than its worth

Not so. IMHO

Giving everyone shares, and in a thing they all use and are reasonably familiar with, like a bank, would be just the sort of catalyst to stimulate massive interest in the stockmarket and at least the particular bank's share price.

Indeed, there might even be a stockmarket boom as everyone and there friends gets themselves involved with stockbrokers and the price of shares in general.

Not forgetting, that in such a position, with everyone owning a piece of the banking action, there would be a general feeling of confidence because the banks concerned could not now ever fail.

And then think of all the trading transaction Stamp Duty that the Chancellor would collect

i feel very sorry for those poor investors that bought more shares under the RI
they where told lies DANIELS STATED THAT he would return value back to holders by 2012 6 months away he has gone and the sp is bback to bottom .

is lloys about to go bankrupt

next week THE CEO alias the loser is going to speak 28th

if you have more than 80k in llloys i would remove it

thought the future of LLOY was to be announced on 30th June.

28th

wrong RNS 25th May says strategic review will be presented on 30th June at 9.30am

There might be a few on here with between 5k - 7k in a Lloyds TSB Vantage current account(s) earning 4% interest on the whole amount with instant access.

As you will no doubt know, this is due to drop down on 27th June to 3% on the whole lot, providing you keep between 3k - 5k in the account.

Lloyds TSB are not advertising the following 'secret account facility' anywhere:

However, if you ring Lloyds TSB's Phone Banking and enquire about the Incentivised Saver Account ('IS') they will allow you to open one of these (each, if the Vantages are 'Joint'). In this 'IS' account you can have instant access and they will give you 3% Fixed interest up to a balance of 50,000.This will then allow the bank to match the top instant access acounts anywhere in the UK and at the moment currently offered by Northern Rock and Nationwide.
