3 out of 28 down.

The other 25up at the moment.

Not despairing yet.

Noticed that the end of the day B/S for Lloyds was heavy in Buys (if you can believe the figures.)

The RBS story was really good, showing how really bad Fred the Shred et al were!

Quote of the program for Fred "It's not a scallop kitchen -it does other sea-food as well"

It's looking very blue as well for me as well today Fred. My issue is LLOY still begins with 5 and a few days ago it began with a 6 so no matter how happy I may be today I'm going to require a few sustained blue days to get anywhere.

Good Morning.

The Papers


Italian banks face twin challenges of capital and funding

Good morning!

Morning all...at last !

Spanish 10-y Bond Auction 1.54|2.4 1.49|1.5

French 10-y Bond Auction 0.86|1.6 0.71|1.9

Good morning.

Another annoying day so far. Whilst the banks are up a bit, my INTU, HMSO, BLND are all struggling.

Something to do with statements from RBS possibly on Brexit.

Regulators say banks near full compliance with post-crisis capital rules

Skinny your above link doesn’t work.

Post 42? - yes it does.

Skinny, Well it didn’t 5 minutes ago have you changed the link as that looks different and does work?

No - only posted it the once.

How very strange some odd things going on here lately.

Right - off to stick my head in the sand and hope my portfolio looks better later.

5 stocks down by more than 2.5%, nothing up apart from LLOY and RBS and overall not a great day.

Wondering just how long we can go on with this. As long as Brexit I guess.

'Complete insanity' of Italy debt plans may lead to huge restructuring - euro officials

At individual stock level worst day for a very long time. Fortunately stake sizing mitigates size of loss, and got a few stocks up a tiny bit.

HMSO down 6%, BLND down 5.2%, LWB down 5.1%, INTU down 3.2%

Rest fine. Hopefully tomorrow will look different

BLnd ex div today, so only down 4% or so. Near 5 year lows, maybe a buy soon, Brexit depending? H
