Huge volume also. Day traders must be loving it! Trend is still down however. Keep taking profit, imo.

Who would have thought that banks shares were only good for short term trades now.
Thats all I do with them now, in and out quickly, slowly regaining my money after I was stupid last year buying Lloyds.

Don't you feel that with many of the retail banks coming out with good results over the past month or two,that sentiment is beginning to change ?
Certainly recent price increases are suggesting just that.

Mark to market rules being over ruled (originally instigated post Enron) will allow banks to be very optimistic about the value of underlying assets. The results may have no bearing on reality

Made a nice profit on this one today more than enough to pay for our entitlement of LLOY new at 43p.

Took the profit from barc and lloy, better than working!! Halifax, is the entitlement instead of div?

bb proceeds of entitlement to LLOY new shares is to repay pref shares issued to government, instant profit at todays sp.

Think it might be better than that....The new ordinary shares will be issued at a price of 38.4 pence per share. Can't be bad..:)))

Obviously,the avoidance of having to be in the government debt programme has been the key issue in the price rise.-off to another good start today.

Great performance (not in), but can't help feeling that some profit taking will be coming with this one !.
