When the heck will shares in lloyds bank be available to purchase!?

You can buy them now. I don't know if there is much point though.

Why?

Eh?


(What thread is this? )

You've lost me I'm afraid.

I think we're all lost if this is a serious discussion about the future of a commercial (high street ) Bank with all the prospect of a gold rush in the Klondike the day after the gold rush finished... all too weird!

They have little chance of making you rich and quite possibly in the short term loosing a fair bit, that's if you don't die of boredom watching them do nothing. High street banking is a dodo, prolonged low interest rates will ensure it stays that way.

Just my opinion.

Watching them do nothing whilst paying dividends.

Everyone needs a bank and most need a mortgage they are not likely going away soon are they?

That was kind of my point. They are forecast to pay a 6% dividend in 2018 and are still the UK's biggest mortgage lender. The consensus forecast still appears to be that the shares are a "strong buy". However, everyone's an expert (on here).

I've no real strong view either way, and do not currently hold any shares in them.

I didn't say the company is in any particular risk of disappearing.

The PEG ratio is 0.18, the PE ration is 20odd doesn't scream great value - there are other dividend paying low risk stocks out there that will outperform LLoyds, Unilever, NG., RB., Prudential half a dozen FTSE pharma and tech stocks not to mention the likes of G4S and Serco probably even Barclays.

That's just my opinion. And I also think this thread is for hot "tips" not stating the obvious.

(Where did the 6% dividend rumour come from?)

I'm sure there are, for a diversified portfolio of low risk options lloyds seems like a pretty safe pick to me. I don't hold any anymore so no vested interest. It might have been another poster that thought they were at risk of tanking.

Not sure about the 6% that was a different poster but it doesn't seem unfeasible. Probably a little at the high end.

SXX blew up (10%) today on not much more than a bit of news that said there was not much news to report and things are going to plan. Suspect interest will wain until the next no news RNS but I'd buy again if I had the money.

[g4ry13]

They're planning to leave AIM. There will be an increased interest in the shares as a result.

Now tipping £1.51 (9% up since my last posting on this).

This is going to hit £2-2.50 comfortably IMO. Very strong company.

Now at £1.66, another 9-10% in a month.

Results releasing at the end of April I believe so hopefully more positive news, especially with growing US sales in a weak currency situ.

Hmmm, I know less about fashion than I do about the stock market, but I'll watch and see if a buying opportunity comes up. It is certainly a popular share but the P/E at the moment would appear to be incredibly high but at least they are making money and expanding the business, I saw them advertise on prime time TV the other day.

Does anybody have any suggestions for a platform/broker to use when starting out with some shares?

Thanks

[Shnozz]

Messaged you.

I use Hargreaves Lansdown. £12 a trade, granted you can get lower, but a very trusted platform with lots of useful info available. This was important for me knowing I'd have >£20k of my money entrusted in them.
