having spoken to many people the fact is the ceo is ignorant but they no the reason why
he has no answers only cut the staff it is the board he wants to cut they are rubbish

-anker LLOY having been forced into a merger with HBOS to save the UK banks it makes sense to reduce the headcount where there are obvious duplications,cost saving is a function of management.

Tanker, I don't know if you remember vinyl records when the stylus used to get stuck and kept repeating the same piece of music over & over & over & over & over again......just really, really, really annoying.

hal. it was not a forced merger fact .i have been told by the investor relations at lloys that it was not .it was all down to daniels who did not look at the books of hbos
he was a liar and carried on lying to holders the same man who said many times I WILL RETURN VALUE TO HOLDERS BY 2012
now he is gone with is pockets full .and the chairman said he was doing a great job what a bloody joke

-anker for those really in the know you are making it up as you go along, time to grow up and focus on tomorrow not yesterday.

Tanker have you lost a lot of money with Lloyds, very angry with them is a understatement.

dc they gave him the early bath!

no i have lost nothing i have tradedout of loses .
posters keep say forced into merger load of rubbish
and i have it on my computer the reply from lloys from 2 years ago .

Thanks h. Its only a share.

-anker sour grapes how much did you really lose?

TANK - Short it, or move on mate.

have Lloyds bottomed out anyone,
will LLoyds go bust at all?????
Should i buy in at this price???

Can anyone offer me some worthy advice please

Cashcaptain

Yes - don't eat yellow snow!

LLoyds results on Thursday and RBS on Friday.

I have been waiting since 2009 but tomorrow I am going to buy some. only thing that is putting me off is that if it gaps down tomorrow it will break support.

This is SIPP money and I may hold for the next 20 years so by then surely the worlds financial mess will be sorted?


Edit: or maybe I'll wait a few more days and see results out first. do not like look of indices

WAIT TILL 35P AT LEAST .you might then make a profit in the next 6 months

lloys to say 1.4b lose rbs to say 450m lose

well first lot bought this morning. we'll see what happens. I like the price but I don't like the ftse chart

2.3b lose the board must resign .
but they could not care there are only interested in there
pay

just for interest, comparative performance of lloy (blue), barc (green) and rbs (red)

Sky News 2011, 9:04, Thursday 4 August 2011

Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY.L - news) has reported a bigger than expected loss of 3.25bn, the same amount it has set aside to pay for the mis-selling of Payment Protection Insurance.

The pre-tax loss of 3.25bn was for the first half of 2011, compared to a 1.3bn profit in the same period last year.

Excluding the 3.2bn which Lloyds set aside to cover mis-selling PPI, the bank's underlying profits plunged 31% to 1.1bn.

That compares with a 596m net profit in the first half of 2010.
