Lloyds’ hefty losses compared with profits of £281m in 2010 and were in part down to £3.2bn set aside to repay customers mis-sold payment protection insurance.

The bank’s income shrunk 10 per cent to £21bn, as it was faced by weak demand for loans and customers continuing to pay down debt.

Lloyds warned income is likely to fall further this year as the tough economy continues to bite.

It forecasts rising unemployment, flat house prices and interest rates staying low for longer.

The group, which bought Halifax Bank of Scotland in 2009, said its integration is now largely complete, and the bank is now on the “simplify” stage.

After cutting 28,000 jobs during the integration, Lloyds last year announced the next wave is likely to cost another 15,000 jobs. Some 3,700 of these have already been announced. Integration director Mark Fisher said: “Integration is to all intents and purposes finished.”

Lloyds considers borrowing money from ECB's emergency fund

Lloyds Banking Group has become the first British bank to confirm it is looking at borrowing money from an emergency facility put in place by the European Central Bank to prevent a fresh banking crisis.

Four former executives of Lloyds Banking Group who last week had part of their bonuses clawed back as a result of an insurance mis-selling scandal may now be in line to receive shares worth £2.2m for completing the takeover of the troubled HBOS bank.
does it make you feel sick . they should be in prison on death row

Can you name them please?

Or give a link to the name of these guys.

fair value 26p and still risky

so are you still holding tanks, or did you bite the bullet?

cynic i have not held for a while and never lost money i only look for around 1p any time . i have put all my money into CNA RSA for a while looking for 345p and 120p or take the divs these are no brainers 5.5% and 9.5% you will not get that in many places the poor will lose money i will not

CYNIC i see the markets faling back quite alot that is why i picked cna and rsa
you can sleep at night . the market could fall 400 points

.

cynic i spent over 3k in tesco yesterday new tv and a new computer and topped it up with a memery foam mattress for the spare room i should of bought a smaller house

And what has that got to do with LLOY or the price of chips?

i am saying you will have no money ifyou hold these for quite a while

Tesco thread post 121 "I am going to sell my large holding in tesco .
and boycott the shops along with some other people ." Guess who said this?

and then i said let these young people fight for there country if they have any backbone it looks like the youths of today do not have a spine so let them suffer .

and i will tell you again the markets are going to fall over the next 6 months

i certainly think the adage of sell in may could well be very true, though may may come early this year!

========

my mistake tanks .... i thought you said about a week ago that you'd taken a hit of about £6k on these and were still holding .... perhaps that was rbs

cynic i did post the next day having bought these that i was up about 3k then in seconds down 6k then the next day they went back up i made a modest 3560 .

CYNIC the two shares i hold now RSA CNA will hold up well .

In future I will always equate Tanker and Modest together.
