Is it the time to dump UK stocks?

Sounds like you lot are selling off everything you own!!

Just not our dignity to the EU we are taking that back. Big trade deal coming up with India.

Currently Lloyd’s is way under pre march prices and with the dividend news why not? Unless the figures show otherwise I don’t see how it’s currently sub 60p

What about Barclays? I currently hold no banking stocks except JP Morgan Chase. I wouldn’t mind holding a British one as well.

Lloyds will bounce I’m sure of it. Everyone laughs at me but I think BT is at a turning point. And no it’s not just my face they laugh at. I was buying BT at 100 it’s around 130 I think now. Reinstate divi should go up more.

Just waiting when someone says that the football club XYZ is owned by Russians/Americans/Middle Eastern countries/etc. :upside_down_face:

After that what nationality do have the CEOs.

What is important? Money or Flag? That is question. (A Shakespearean question) :slight_smile:

In a ā€œfreeā€ capital movements world, the companies and even countries are funded by all. With companies with foreign administrations and employees.

The British football clubs are always British even if their shareholders, players, managers, etc, are foreign.

My step mother had shares in BT given to here early in the companies growth 20 years ago she sold for over half a million so no I don’t think your mad at all. Bt has always had the uks core infrastructure contract despite Virgins attempts

It’s valued so low it’s worth a dabble. Openreach alone is worth like 20bn…

I was in Natwest, but sold out when they hit the high 150’s - why, its growth potential was no longer favourable.

If I were to look at a bank again, it would probably be HSBC. Its much more diverse in revenue streams and global than Lloyds or Barclays.

I won’t support HSBC and to be honest they have been the worst bank for the customers during this pandemic

They got fined didn’t they the other day for something.

Didnt read that but share the link if you find it, I’ve withdrawn all my money from them, they refused access during the lockdown and attempted to freeze online transfers.
Dodgy at best, they also had queues running down the road when everything reopened with no staff in sight

Yeah I’m looking at Natwest’s charts and I wouldn’t go near it personally. Lloyds don’t seem to be doing much better. And Barclays marginally better again. I’m looking at 10 to 20 year timelines. HSBC being more global probably explains why they’re the healthiest of the lot.

Barclays has the commercial side which has held up its profits, but what are you basing the price predictions on? Lloyds hasn’t recovered like nastwest or barclays yet its still doing the same things it was before plus the dividend is strong

With near or at zero interest rates? And with the FinTech and BigTech closing in? :wink:

In near-term, the COVID-19 will disrupt the economies, bringing more NPL on the banks’ balance sheets.

What you think about Impax Asset Management Group Plc (IPX)?

Returns:
1M = 17.35%
YTD = 77.38%
1Y = 91.67%
3Y = 336.71%

Or the London Stock Exchange Group PLC (LSE)?
Returns:
1M = 9.69%
YTD = 15.12%
1Y = 17.03%
3Y = 138.56%

Also financial sector stocks… :wink:

Still in my to-do list (financial analysis). So many stocks to analyze…

When I see price history like IPX though it just scares me. Nature tells me it’s gotta come down a bit.

Almost ā€œeverythingā€ went ballistic this year, Dot.com style. :slight_smile:

The markets are mature to have a healthy correction. But this is another story.

That’s why I invest in gutter stocks and still live in the gutter.

Is that view based on sound financial analysis, or opinion?

Is still in the drawing board, just did a quick look at the graphs and on some numbers several months ago. As I’m waiting for the Brexit deal, I left the British and other European stocks in stand-by mode, and analyzed the US stocks instead, because invested in them first.
