skin some say i am omniscient i know i am ?

Sold out of Lloy for a modest profit. I hope to pick these up again around 32p.

suth good luck dip in to rsa ex div 28th march 5 82p

Agree with your suggestion Tanker, I like the chart of RSA, but already have my quota of these, hoping for 130p in a few months as well as the divi. Long term, I like Lloys so don't want to be out too long. thks H

bailing out greece is a waste of money they will still go bust .
and all the leaders no this and they are all making sure they are not left with loses
personly they are moving there personal cash out of arms way .
bank holders and insurance companys are going to lose the money big time

Greece will recover, starting this summer with tourism as booking is improving fast.

it will take more than a few tourists .they are bust big time and will be for 10 years at least . tourist are not safe in athens .
and the board at lloys is breaking up they all want the door and they dont mind the front door . the ceo is not up to the job he is a loser

suth you made a wise choice

I have been adding more and will continue to do so. I also hold CNA, PCI and FTO.

I still disagree about Greece. Many of them are employed by Gemran companies now. Tourism is improving, etc.

People know the retirement age 55 is too good for them to be maintained.

Only a couple of buildings were burnt. It is ok now. there is nothing serious in compare to what the media portrait. Ignore the media report about a couple of hundred people involved in riots. Criminals are misusing the sitation as it was the case in the US last summer.

what is or has this useless CEO done since he arrived at the bank
answer take is pay the man is a totaly useless 13 months and all he as done is drive down the SP and the bank

This is due to the wrong assessment by the board of directors. WHY DID THEY EMPLOY HIM IN TEH FIRST PLACE?

Wasn't there a British guy to run our most respected bank? why someone from Spain?

The scandal is like pension for Fred Goodwin which was signed by the board. The board was responsible, not Fred Goodwin.

the CEO is a failure and should be sacked but he as sacked all the people who new he was useless . i will buy a few for the AGM to put a question to him he will not reply .

the ceo statement very poor . did he go to shcool

You just shot yourself in the foot, T!!!! LOL

no harry he is the man that should have a education well he as not he is a failure
and will be gone with no gain for the bank just filled is bank balance

ahoj: I think you're see Greece thro rosey specs - Greece will default, it's only a matter of time. There is little the Politicians can do with most of the population quite appy to sit in the sun (-and who can blame them?).
- That Europe was prepared to subsidise their lifestyle is nothing but stupidity.
Then we have Apain, Portugal and Italy - these are likely to renegotiate their loans - in effect a Euro-writeoff.
It's true you may not notice this - but someone will and they will try to get their money back somehow - If LLOY is heavily into these regions then the sp will suffwer directly - If it isn't it can suffer because investors tend to paint all Banks as one mess of pottage.

Directors:
I know nowt about this (Spanish?) Banker now running LLOY but presume he has some LT credentials that may be better than the other Directors . . . who bought into the poison chalice offered by G/Brown - to save Halifax Bank of Scotland, just a wee while before the Scots would be voting...Coincidence my foot.
That is the direct reason for LLOY dire Sp and we still don't know if HBOS has dodgy loans in the weak areas of Europe.
It's a B.Mess and all the Directors of LLOY should be put out of "our" misery. Even taking a 5-year stance (2007-2012) their performance has been terrible, with a cut in interest from 6% to zero... yikes, - - - I wonder their neighbourts don't cast them adrift.
Having the AGM in Edinburgh (DYOR) means at least they have a semi-sympathetic ear...so no mass votes down.....but it just shows how poor the fibre of Directors is these days - in the past at least one would have resigned over the HBOS merger as it was clearly NOT in shareholders' interest; witness the sp immediately afterwards...

hang. the CEO is a complete failure and should never have been given the job
it is well above is head and a blind man on a galloping horse on a foggy night can see
this . the rest of the board now are all YES people and that is bad for the bank .
investor relations well they no no more than the man sweeping the road .
why because the board tell them nothing because they do not no them selves
