<title>Re: Wow .....1 Billion profit...</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Surely if you were almost 70% down on your holding it would have made sense to have bought a few at around the 46/50p level to bring your avearge down....hardly going under once the RI was successfully executed.  Seems a little starnge that you have doubts as we seem to be entering a new trading range to the upside. By meetkb ]]></description>

<title>Re: Wow .....1 Billion profit...</title>
<description><![CDATA[ &quot;As far as LLOY is concerned, I only have a small holding (~75,000 shares), and my loss currently stands at about 10%, although at one point it was &gt;70%. I have stuck with them so far since I was convinced that they were undervalued, however, I am now having doubts as to how far and fast they can rise. I normally do not like to have more than 10% of my share portfolio in any one share, and currently my LLOY holding is a little too large...&quot;<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
75000 shares only a small holding ?!   I suppose it's all relative.<br>
btw now we all know how much money you have as well as who you'll be voting for ! <img src="/i/discussions/emoticons/winking.gif"> By heyrevolver ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ This is pure political posturing designed to dampen RBS and Lloyds SP in the run-up to the election.<br>
<br>
They are terrified if HMG starts to show a profit prior to the election.<br>
<br>
He talks about a levy to get back every penny of the bail out.<br>
<br>
This doesn't make sense. The bail out deal already includes the provision that the banks will have to pay back every penny - and with penalties.<br>
<br>
I am hoping that Cameron's statement will have the opposite effect on the SP.<br>
<br>
If Cameron is moving to dampen the SPs, then he must too be convinced that RBS and Lloyds are in full recovery mode.<br>
<br>
Sometimes the City does the opposite of what you think.<br>

<description><![CDATA[ Agreed, I'll be voting for labour. A tory government would be a disaster. I rate Alistair Darling very highly, probably the most sensible politician I've ever known. George Osbourne on the other hand is a clueless public schoolboy. By OldMrFoxy ]]></description>

<title>Tories Would Destoy Britains Financial Sector</title>
<description><![CDATA[    The news today that the moron Tories would unilaterally hammer the UK banks with massive taxes should put the fear of god into anyone who holds shares in the banking sector<br>
<br>
   Any money that is legally extorted from banks under the pretext of taxation will leave shareholders decimated , we the shareholders own the banks , Lloyds has 3 million PI holders and that would be a tax on every one of them <br>
<br>
   And worse still these fools are going to succeed in doing what the financial global crisis failed to do <br>
<br>
  They will destoy the UKs leading industry which already pays tens of billions in taxes each year and drive it away from British shore in what will be one of the most historically damaging acts since time immemorial , costing tens of thousands of jobs and billions in lost revenue as they strive to drive Britain back to the middle ages <br>
<br>
   It makes me hark back to when the last tory party took us to the brink , When Major and Lamont oversaw the disaster of what was the ERM debacle that cost the country billions and interest rates were bumped up to 15 percent to save the pound <br>
<br>
  Buy hey they look competent compared to this bunch <br>
<br>
  These tories look to me like a football team who have never kicked a ball , how are former Etonians ever going to connect and ground to ordinary people ?<br>
<br>
  The answer is they never will , their upbringing serves as a handicap , a disability even , when you spend your whole existence in an ivory tower you re never going to adjust to the reality of how the world really is and make a connection with ordinary people <br>
<br>
  Normally the vast majority of people on these boards would be considered to be inclined to vote Tory , they'd be considered to be the bedrock of Tory support  , but i dont think thats the case now <br>
<br>
   The news that Lloyds will make a profit in 2010 was a boost for the whole of the UK , GB will make a killing on these shares when he sells them in a couple of years , but thats only if the Tories dont get into power and wreak disaster upon disaster on Britain <br>
<br>
  Lets hope sanity prevails and this awful clueless Tory party are consigned to the political dustbin because this is the most dangerous potentail government i have ever come across <br>

<title>Re: Lloyds Capital Value</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Blacklavender<br>
<br>
That was the precise answer I was lookig for.  Thank you!<br>
<br>
So if we assume things are healthier now than they were then, which they are, both in the economy and in the merged business, then there is some upside in the share price.  A recovering economy will reward banks and commodities quickest I believe and with Lloyds SO BIG they should benefit most in retail banking.  Allow for Lloyds selling some assets and removing risk in favour of discounted cash receipt, then it all looks a lot less uncertain and much much healthier<br>
<br>
there is an update on the 27th April, the US will go positive will employement on Non Farm Pay Rolls in 2 weeks so I hope there is some good upside to Lloyds in the next 4-8 weeks.  After that is anyones guess By investingisatrickygame ]]></description>

<title>Dave &amp; Ossy Have blown it !!</title>
<description><![CDATA[ With Camerons pitch to the electorate today that the tories will impose a unilateral tax on the banks the city will now make sure the bailed out banks sp rise steadily to the election, Quid by april would not surprise me one bit. What are the chances of a world wide agreement on a bank tax.... Nil. Initially the public will swing a few points to Dave but with the rise in price of the shares Gordon will be proved correct in his assertion that he was right to bail out the banks and sentiment will swing back to Labour. If the city doesn't want a hung parliment 1.50 by election time. Peston reckons that Gordon will hold the shares for a year or two after the election but there was talk a couple of months back of interest in the Gov's stock from some Brasilian financils. with a higher sp a sell off to a 3rd party at a discount price or even a selloff  to the public would probably be a very attractive possibility. All pure speculation on my part but in my view a very plausible scenario. AIMO <img src="/i/discussions/emoticons/big-grin.gif"> By teepeg ]]></description>

We see risks to the UK domestic banks as the UK monetary authorities withdraw assistance in 2010, but we believe the valuations of the<br>
domestic stocks discount these fears and provide sufficient incentive for an overweight. By BlackLavender ]]></description>
