I think the next person cannot do worst, can he.
If the market doesn't like him, he should be doing something good for the company rather than short term players.

Tim Tookey the CFO (who is supposed to be leaving) is going to be asked to stay on to manage LLOY until AHO gets back. So the guy who was already leaving is now running the show. The point I was making - For whatever reason TT is unsuitable and was moving on hasn't changed. Is he therefore the best person to run LLOY?

We all know the best does not exist in the world. Risky person is good for he time taking risk is good. Conservative for conservative times. So he might be good for specific time and bad for another time.

He is certainly the best person in terms of being familiar with the system, so there is positive side (one best for him).

Lloyds will do better given the crises in the EU. It will rapidly gain market share out of other players in France and Germany.

Dont think you can go much wrong buying at this price

LOL!!! That's what I said at 50p Nar1.

Hahaha - well that what I ve said to myself lets see what happens

lol

I think he was ill for a couple of days. Who did he discuss with before informing the market of his decision?

cmon lloy - its only 1 person ill!!!! both rbs & barc blue!! have a funny feeling here!! should rebound at some point soon!!

His Harley Street specialist, his wife, the Landlord down his local pub and his golf instructor.

gibby, I think you underestimate the influence of the person at the top.

Great bank, eh?

CEO takes an extended 'sickie' for a few months and the best plan the board can come up to fill the now vacant position, is to upgrade the Finance Director, who is just about to leave.

Looks like a really good example of 'crisis management' to me.

But there again.....if Greece goes bust and leaves the Euro zone.....and Lloyds don't have any risk to any of the banks that will lose money in the Greece fiasco.....then it could be a buy.....

Or there again, it couldn't.....

But, I'm certain it might be.....

to be honest i see it as more of a relief he is out the way for now - wish him well health wise but other than that...............

30+ today is not impossible still we shall see - if not today tomorrow

execline at least the fd will have something to do now LOL!

This company is a complete shamble.

lol yes - its time it bounced - i should of sold earlier in small profit!!! cmon lloy!!!

the chart to me suggests down, but there isnt much further to fall. so IF it is going to recover then the proper place to buy . in my opinion, is when price is above 130sh.
not nice i know for all those bottom pickers, after all why wait until then when i can buy now at 30sh?

jkd
