Every chance it will go sub 30p today.

Although I don't agree with 'taking them out', I can see that Tanker has some kind of a point.

It certainly need something doing by the authorities other than for the rest of us to see so many police on the TV 'just standing around powerless to do anything'.

Tasers might be a good idea?

Water cannon might be a good idea?

Stun guns might be a good idea?

Support from the troops (Oh, sorry! We haven't got any!) might be a good idea?

bale . no i am a good living human these hooligans are sub humans destoying peoples homes and lives .the police should be allowed to shoot any one breaking in are stealing goods .
if it was one of my children i would want the police to deal with it even if they have to kill them .but my children would not do it full stop .
these thugs parents must be thugs them selves they keep telling us in these country that they are close nit familys well tell me what that means to me it must mean
that they are liars when in the next word they say they did not no what theywhere doing .they should deport them.

diane abbot the MP stated on tv last year that black mothers brought there children up better than white mothers and yesterday she blamed the police for lack of action
she is a racist in the labour party why has she not been kicked out

ex . it has to come down to people like myself there are thousands like me that would work along side our police .these thugs must be dealt with hard the only thing they under stand is force but 99 percent are cowards i am not i will stand up to anyone .and no iam not a bully .the police MUST be given power to shoot these sub humans

all bullys and thugs are cowards own there own ,
i have dealt with a few in my time

last post .
our leaders have got no bottle

At the start of this thread mitzy asked if LLOY would succeed with HBOS - something I doubted was a good move then, - and still think that was their worst move in 150 years...
Look at the sp graph over 4-years and by-and-large LLOY and RBS are neck and neck.
Both rubbish investments, due to rotten decisions (although Dirs retire on handsome pensions-Why? It's our money they've given themselves and will CONTINUE to give until stopped!).
However, that is history and the situation is that "now" they are unlikely to return to huge profits - because most of the last 10-years was an illusion (+er, same comments about Directors) - those super profits were a result of miss-sold insurances . . . . . so recent falls are not surprising, as folk won't be going into their Bank for an expensive loan . . . . not soon-a-ways, anyhow.
Grr. Makes you wan er spit.


Any sensible comments on Markets generally?



PS. I hear Hols in Greece are fairly cheap.

EDIT:
Tanker, I dunno, but I still don't like it...well paid execs should fall on their swords if the business goes bad on their watch - who else is there to blame. That's (partly) why they're overpaid...to take on the Big Descisions, sink or swim.
Barclays too!
BTW I see a clutch of BARC Directors have lost 25% each (DYOR) after recent Buys just a few days ago...inc Bob Diamond - even this loss is nothing like shareholders have suffered, but it's nice to know for once we're all in it together, eh?

hang,
why did the gov who own 41% allow the new ceo to get millions in thank you
payments .the man is a loser fact and in 3 years will be gone with is pockets full

During the War there was a soldier at every junction armed with a rifle and fixed bayonet with orders to shoot looters I dont know why they cant re-introduce something simliar to deter looters.

Meantime..COLLAPSE..which high strret banks is about to go broke..?

Don't be a spoilsport, mitzy, tell us!

I've no idea Kevin I keep getting messages to that effect.

DIANE ABBOT MP
said on tv that black mothers where better mothers than white mums
well look at the riots the black children on the streets at 1am
she is a racist

Personally think there is lots more trouble ahead for bank shares and thats why I believe Lloyds are worth about 6p a share.

I dont know I could be wrong here but I reckon they could collapse another 80% in the next 12 months.

mity . they will now go up target in 6 months time 60p .
all the crap is now behind in feb next year they will say 3.8b profit
only the brave like me make the money then i give a lot away
but onlt to hospice cancer mac millan blind

the net asset value is 423p div of 6.5p for this year .
