RE - Rather depends on your starting point

Not sure if you follow LLOY recently, but there is a reasons for my chart

1 - is for "nordcaperen " buying two weeks ago at just over 60p

the second is YOUR chart is not ajusted to the R I at 38.43p, so the comparison is not correct.

Clever clogs usually , just give wrong information but not Subtance on what is going on.


Example : At the time of the fall 19 May - Share price going X Righ Issue and ajusted from 100p to 76p ( not represented on YOUR chart )

LAST YEAR large slosses by BANKS ................

RBS tops banking losses list

Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) suffered the heaviest losses out of all lenders last year, according to the Banker magazine's Top 1000 World Banks 2008/09 survey.


The beleaguered bank, which is now 70% owned by the taxpayer, saw total losses of $59.3 billion - higher than Citigroup's $53 billion loss and Wells Fargo's $47.8 billion disaster.


HBOS, which was taken under Lloyds' (LLOY) wing last year, snared the sixth spot with losses of $15.8 billion.

In contrast, JP Morgan topped the magazine's annual list of the strongest banks, up from fourth place a year earlier following its takeover of Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual last year.

Bank of America came in second, based on the amount of Tier 1 capital held - with Citigroup third and RBS in fourth place.

Last year's top performer HSBC (HSBA) fell to fifth place, but was the only one of the top five not to receive any Government support.


The analysis revealed the top five most profitable banks were Spanish or Chinese followed by HSBC and Barclays (BARC).



Global bank profits are estimated to have fallen 85% last year to $115 billion and return on equity falling from 20% to 2.69%.

Literature ( or English is not my strength ) maybe cos I am a NOT an English Speaking GUY ( but I do try ) and I must say also, I type and post without (spelling Cheking as some do ).

Take it from me - We talk business not English, so you get some points for something not related to the thread. As some one ( University degree ) told me over 10 years ago : "on the Internet nobody cares about spelling " when I try to correct him over a misspelling on his typping.

Treasury keeps grip on banks in shake-up
Alistair Darlings reforms set to inflame tensions between the Bank of England and Whitehall -- David Smith

ALISTAIR DARLINGs proposed reforms of banking regulation, to be published next month, will retain a significant role for the Treasury in financial supervision. His proposals will be seen by some as a further sign of tension between the Treasury and the Bank of England.

Both the Bank and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) have called for new tools to be made available for policing the banks. The Bank, which published its Financial Stability Report on Friday, listed a range of new weapons it believed would be necessary. They included a tax on bigger and more complex institutions, with more onerous capital and regulatory requirements.

It said that dynamic provisioning could help, as used in Spain, where banks are required to hold more capital in good times. But it would need to be used in conjunction with other measures. These could include direct controls on the growth of lending, minimum requirements for margins and structural funding limits.

The Treasury is sympathetic to the idea of increasing the range of tools available to regulators but is also concerned that handing over some of them to the Bank or FSA would establish a framework that was politically unaccountable.

Insiders give the example of a lending clampdown introduced a few months before a general election, with significant economic and political consequences.

Darlings proposals will retain a Treasury veto on any such measures.

The chancellors white paper, originally intended for this week, will contain both short- and long-term proposals, with some of the latter not intended to take effect until after the election.

As the battle over regulation continues, businesss disquiet with the banks persists. A survey by the British Chambers of Commerce, to be published this week, reports that only 6% of firms say access to finance has become easier over the past three months, while for 20%, it has got worse.

Goldmann have upgraded to a buy

who cares......another stupid institution with busted reputation

Someone got out the bed the wrong side....:((

RE - Someone got out the bed the wrong side....:((

Not LLOY

The best performer of the Banks, and from the start of the trading day

Has reached 70p just now, the best performance share on the FTSE on Percentage
terms

a bit earlier .........
Market Movers - Top risers and fallers at 12:00

FTSE 100
LLOYDS GRP. 69.53 4.57%
LEGAL&GEN. 57.94 3.45%
BG GRP. 1.00 3.31%
ADMIRAL GRP 884.00 3.27%
PRUDENTIAL 411.00 2.94%

Once it keeps above the 70p barrier for a couple of days - I'll chance it, made another 7% on Rbs but now out of them at the minute - So should see them rise dramatically !! Need a week of good news for once, can see financials making a slight recovery if so.

Legal and gen look like they've got an easy 10% in them at the minute too. might dabble there this week.

hello guys
i think that our big problem is about trust this is a good company ,is a big bank but ,at this price and the uk government as a owner of 40% of the bank the big player wont come here to push the price up,
we have back them buying the shares that they had offered and i am sure that lot of people had done,
we could say that 70 to 80 % and they still haven not say anything about that in a positive way ( GOOD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS ),that is what the private investors want to know , that the compay is getting solid and there is potencial here, forget about the technical analysis and the indicators , what we need is a good market capitalization and a good results of the the EPS in orden to go back at the price that this company deserve
the company is doing a long side way after a head and sholder ,i think that the bosses at LLOY are having to much fun with they millions

sorry trust
