richard70, your shouting at us.......take caps lock off.
Hope you and smarty are right..:))

I have no doubt it will go back above the 1 barrier eventually, but money to be made elsewhere while your waiting months. Long term its an excellent punt but so are the majority of Large Caps out there at the minute. Keep picking off 10% profits each week is nice though, you might trade different to me but I do like to take a few quid profit every couple of weeks.

nordcaperen, 520% profit this year 'eh. Hope u make it; somehow I doubt it - but good luck anyway. Tuck away Lloyds for the long term, and manage a smaller proportion of your portfolio more actively. I do, and my "fun" portfolio keeps me on my toes but I do have to work hard to see decent overall returns. Sometimes its better to just tuck away the decent ones for a rainy day to avoid the day to day stress, dealing costs &, of course, the one holding that fails to perform and eats away the profits from your other holdings. Incidentally, 1 by year end equates to a rise of 34% in just 6 months - I reckon we are on a winner here. Trust me, I'm a Banker. lol

That sounds as South American rhyme, but not true in words.

Peru would be the place most likely

UK's economy is 'best in Europe'
Paul Krugman

Professor Krugman said that the UK had stabilised its banking system

The UK is in the best shape out of all the economies in Europe, according to a leading economist.

Paul Krugman, who won the 2008 Nobel prize for economics, said that the UK's economic policies had been "pretty good" and called them "intelligent".

The government also deserved more credit for its policies, he said in an interview with The Observer newspaper.

His comments come at the end of a week when the pound has risen to its highest level this year.

But Professor Krugman believes the earlier fall in the value of sterling may have helped the UK.

"The UK has achieved a lot of monetary traction in the way that no one else has through the depreciation of the pound. In effect, you've carried out a successful beggar-my-neighbour devaluation," he said.

"I think the UK economy looks the best in Europe at the moment."

The government's policies had managed to stabilise the banking system, he said.

He added: "If the government can hold off having an election until next year, Labour might well be able to run as 'we're the people who brought Britain out of the slump'."

Do you want a good return for you cash ISA ?............

Savings: Intelligent Finance bucks Isa rate trend

Intelligent Finance, part of the Lloyds Banking Group, increased the rate on its cash Isa this weekend to 2.75%. After a series of rate cuts and product withdrawals by banks and building societies over the past fortnight, this is now one of the highest rates for a cash Isa that does not require notice for withdrawal or savers to tie up their money for a year or more. Intelligent Finance will also increase the rate on its isaver account to 2.85%, putting it among the top instant-access savings accounts alongside Principality, which has a new online savings account paying 2.85% - including a 1.2% introductory bonus rate for the first 12 months. Barnsley building society, which is now part of Yorkshire building society, has launched a competitive savings account paying 2.5%. The new account is only available online, and has a paperless application process, for which actual signatures are not required.

Aussies eye up Lloyds funds -- Iain Dey

ONE of Australias biggest banks is considering a bid for a 75 billlion chunk of Lloyds Banking Groups fund-management arm.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which has a market value of close to 30 billion, is one of a number of bidders circling Insight Investment Managements third-party funds business.

Schroders, the blue-chip fund manager, and private equity groups Hellman & Friedman and Advent International have also been invited to table first-round bids for the business, which is expected to fetch between 200m and 300m.

The auction process follows a review of Lloyds asset-management and insurance business carried out by advisers from Deutsche Bank.

Lloyds has two life-assurance brands and two fund-management businesses following its takeover of HBOS last year. Although the bank has said publicly that it plans to merge the operations, a series of disposals are expected.

The Insight funds are believed to be the only part of the division that is being actively touted to potential bidders by Lloyds.

The auction is being conducted discreetly, with only a limited number of parties invited to tender, according to industry sources.

The Insight team, led by Abdallah Nauphal, who was recently promoted to be managing director of Lloyds asset-management arm, has appointed Fenchurch Advisory Partners to examine its options.

Nauphal is said to be willing to work on a bid with one of the private-equity firms to structure a management buy-out deal.

The Insight business being sold includes a large portion of fixed-income funds and specialist liability-driven investment products aimed at pension funds. The funds represent about half of Insights assets under management, with the remainder made up of 80 billion of Clerical Medical life insurance funds.
