So I had better put my stock market related pension into what,its gone up loads since Brexit.Is there something I can do to lock into the gains of the market. Exchange rate is important to me I spend so much of my time in Europe and the US and use Pounds to change up. Sorry, i honestly wouldn't know as i stopped putting into my private pension 20yrs ago but i'm sure some here could help. My 'interest' is generally in the global markets/global economy as a whole. Re- the dollar, many are saying it's set to fall and personally i believe it will. One last thing while i'm on my 'soap-box'.

Dermot, they still face potentially expensive law suit settlements in the U.S. as well as the Class Action in the UK ( btw approx. 4,500 staff are involved in that, so they are effectively suing their employers ). In terms of '' lights out '' it's hard to envisage a time where this organisation will have a totally clean bill of health. They have just abandoned the Williams and Glyn's project at a cost of millions. It's toxic and I don't know how much longer it can continue as it is.

The only reason Lloyds is leaking money is because the regulators keep f'ing extending PPI claim deadlines. Other than that they're now making profits and are back paying dividends! Correct, I was under the impression the FSCS (now FCA) had set a PPI claims deadline at the beginning but I don't think they did (correct me if I'm wrong) and it has been strung out for such a long time whilst Gladstone Brooks (and others) made a tidy profit from customers who didn't realise they don't need an intermediary (yeah, who is doing the mis-selling now Gladstone Brooks?). I know there is now a deadline and I guess once the banks can finally stop assigning budget to PPI payments they'll look a lot healthier (unless another scandal comes along).

Lloyds has put aside something like £6bn+ aside these last few years to deal with that...at the same time they've drastically restructured their foreign investments and holdings so its more inwardly focused on the British economy. Hopefully any Deutsche and European bank issues will have limited effect on them and as soon as the PPI claims wane they'll start growing again allowing the Government to sell off the remaining shares.

And one of potentially epic proportions. It's starting to look like Brexit, and more importantly, not joining the Euro, were very, very wise decisions. what exactly are their bad assets?

They probably won't (and as a former employee from the Non Core/RCR division with a large number of shares foolishly bought I obviously hope the lights do stay on) but there is still plenty there to leave the Chancellor/Tax Payer tearing out his hair.

We let the Right and their Capitalist ideology go way too far. Yeah, because Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot were the exact definition of leaders who never went too far, weren't they Bertie?

The Hedge Funds are fanning the flames on this situation. They have all taken a position to benefit hugely from a substantial share price fall. As soon as they've had their feeding frenzy like the sharks they are, the share price will slowly recover. Merkel and others will put pressure on the US regulators to modify the fine and re-establish confidence. I also agree with Lyons550 opinions about Lloyds Banking Group - it is in good shape and paying dividends. The PPI thing should now be given a final date for claims and not extended any further. That is the only fly in their ointment right now. My Mrs works in their Group Risk Dept and she gets wind of possible problems long before they emerge publicly. Those on here predicting impending global financial doom (Kermit and TuX)... what are you basing this opinion on? Respected commentators of financial trends that I trust like Peter Hargreaves are not suggesting any disquiet and post Brexit the markets and currency are performing just as he predicted. Can you both "feel it in your water?" or have you any evidence of rumblings in the jungle? Edited by Hoof Hearted (01 Oct 2016 9.40am)

I see plenty of evidence regarding another economic collapse (imo it has been upon us for a long while now) but the majority of others see an economy that is slowly recovering. And that's the problem. For the record, i honestly hope i'm wrong. Edited by .TUX. (01 Oct 2016 8.19am)
