Lloyds' Latest Invention to Fatten Its Capital Base: Not Much There for Investors

Lloyds Bank and their Directors ...wernt that smart in juggling the finance of the existing shareholders back in 2008 .. when it BOT into the obviously collapsing HBOS bank that was openly riddled with debt and bad loans ...
This was done under the conivance of the UK Government...who have now walked away holding 43% of Lloyds stock and left the Lloyds shareholders without any dividends and upto an 83% loss on investment value.
Where were the Directors "smartes" or fiduuciary responsibility only a few illfated months ago?
Now we have some "Now you see it/now you dont " sharp practice. ..right?.
All my opinons..however, check the historic facts and do your own DD on this outfit.

Fortis Fails: Who's Next?

IOHO a paid " Scare Monger" and "Sensationalist" ?
Lloyds bank has been around for over 250 years and has steered clear of the sub-prime mess.

Actually" Fortis" completely over extended itself on the NV Ambro purchase and lost their posterior.

LLoyds is getting this merger at a gift price along with the UK Goverment approval. and sanction ( Which they coulnd get with Abbey, that eventually went to Santander/Spain)
Knowledge and Experience is worth far more than obscure numbers on leverage ...Lloyds has been in finance and banking for about 261 years and in our opinion, knows what it is doing when it merges with HBOS
Lloyds are pros and know exactly what is going on in the market and the world.
It is strongly stated that a large China bank is taking a heavy stake in Lloyds...what a combination , ....onwards and upwards.....
Alpha.....Call back in two years on the value of Lloyds.

However, we will watch the situation.
Thankyou for your views.
