US earnings announcements for today

Lloyds awards £30 billion investment contract to BlackRock

Sounds good on the face of it Skinny for you Lloyd’s owners.

Nice. I am long LLOY today from the opening auction at 58.89.

The speed of the rise seems to be accelerating. RBS on a mission as well.

As for the dog Aviva - it's stuck for the moment

CC,

I think you are holding BARC.

If not have a look.

Reasonable yield can be viewed with an optimistic "gullible" eye to have a triple bounce.

With support ar 167.

Otherwise, it is an awful chart.

I have a large holding which is kicking me below waters at the moment.

Check it out.

Screwed up my intraday trade on LLOY. Watched it go to 59, then held on and held on. Closing it at 58.15 in the closing auction and I suppose a profit is profit.

My portfolio looking a bit better today, although been one of the worst weeks I can remember in a long while.

Apparently I get some RBS dividends today. The first of many I hope.
