So It would not be a bad guess saying you are not going to purchase any TANKER. lol

What would you do differently, Tanker?

this company was destoyed by this board of directors .
the reason is because they are to scared to speak out
they sit in meetings to scared to speak out about the poor decision
to employ this useless ceo and a dimwit of a chairman
would statedaniels was doing agreat job at lloys
he should be sacked .my insight to a reckless board makes me
feel ashamed to be apart of the uk .

not one of the board will speak out

put me in chargeof this bank and with in 6 monhs it would be over 100p for a cert

100p would do me Tanker. But what would be your strategy to get there?

there would not one person on he board left at lloys to start .
then i would split lloys in to two banks .i would then pay no bonuses
till we was making good profits the holders would have equal holdings in both banks
and all profit would go to buying out the gov holdings .
all these clowns now running lloys just want to fill thee pockets .

You will not keep staff?

yes i would staff that care and honest.
there are very good people on the srap heap sacked by these useless muppets
i would pay good salary to one man the man that left HSBC m/g.he is the best banker by far.

If all banks cut bonuses fair enough. Staff from HSBC at the moment would not touch this bank. Would need to turn around big time.

Almost 35p which I predicted 2 months back.

this was once a great bank now junk .
the board should all resign with out any payment .
and pay back money

how many of these staff who sold these ppi have been sacked .
and should it not be that the person over them should resign
look at press they have now all resigned

Which bank should I buy now..?

barc

Thanks T.

ex div tomorrow but only 1p paid on sept9th

Ex dividend is the 10th - ex dates are always on a Wednesday!

STAN for me with HSBA as a back stop

Lloyds sells 1.8 billion of troubled-loan property


13:22, Thursday 4 August 2011

LONDON (Reuters) - Lloyds sold 1.8 billion pounds of real estate backed by troubled loans in the first half of 2011, and said "significant sales" would follow as a recovery in UK property values slows.

Last year, Lloyds, which posted a first-half loss on Thursday, sold more than 4 billion pounds worth of real estate from its specialist unit that manages over 1,800 cases representing 23.7 billion pounds of troubled loans.

"Despite the market for capital values improving 17.3 percent from its trough in 2009, we have seen this improving trend in the market begin to weaken for all but prime or central London based real estate," the bank said on Thursday.

In June, Investment Property Databank said property values had gained 17.3 percent since late 2009, after having tumbled by about 45 percent during the global financial crisis.

At 1202 GMT, Lloyds' shares were down 5.3 percent at 36.9 pence.

Austerity- and capital adequacy-minded banks, such as Royal Bank of Scotland (LSE: RBS.L - news) , have cut their exposure to real estate since the credit crisis.

Harm Meijer, a property analyst at JPMorgan, said the fact banks held so much secondary property could reduce values in the wider market.

"Secondary property needs money spent on it and careful management to hold its value. You have to wonder whether the assets are actually in the best hands," Meijer told Reuters.

Earlier today, Lloyds slumped to a 3.25 billion pound first half loss, hit by the cost of compensating customers mis-sold insurance and as bad loans in Ireland (Berlin: IIK.BE - news) and Australia piled up.

Lloyds is 41 percent owned by the British government after a credit crisis bailout.
