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 .
top paid bankers what a bloody jokethey are dimwits

most holders would be by the time they could sell at a profit would be dead

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.

Still reckon 42p by July.

over the last 3 years i have posted about pension fund managers being useless .
well read the tele graph today by mr white he has now discovered what i have been saying for years .they never question has big holders in bank shares about the high bonuses and pay . any one putting money in a pension is a fool

On radio 5 live at 5.30 am they said it was a basket case.

What exactly was said, please Mitzy?

They have too much exposure to the housing/mortgage market compared to the other banks and so will struggle in 2011.

Read B3 of todays Telegraph.

jim white in tele on sunday .
pension fund managers are useless do not put money in to them
better to put your money under your pillow .
i have been saying this for years .
just go to the ftse 100 AGMs they sit there like lemons and NEVER question any thing it is just a days jolly

Mitzy - I "Listened Again" and the words "basket case" didn't fit with my interpretation of what was being said. The Telegraph today was just a re-hash of the weekend press with good points and bad points. I'm more worried about the knock-on affect on all banks if there is a disorderly default by the Greeks. Meanwhile, if LLOY drops to the low thirties, as Tanker predicts, I'll be in there for some.

I'm sure I heard David Bruick of Cantors say they were a basket case but at 5.30 am I am half asleep.
