i've not touched insurance, but was advised to go for it i don't currently hold any long positions on cfd as the ftse is retracing, i held barratt from 85P people seem to think taylor wimpy are safe, but it would be your call.

Looking at the graph there isn't really much upside, but could be worth it if you can grab aload of shares, i'd look for an rbs style recovery on that. nice stocks to get into now are insurance and housing developers

lol, weve discussed this numerous times (not on here) the government cannot afford to nationalise lloy or rbs. The share issue, to be honest it wasn't the best, we were told you could over subscribe to take up any unsold shares, no we have been told they will be dumped straight on the market...

long term on rbs and lloy is a good plan, if you have them on certificate rather than cfd etc you will make a killing over the next few years, as i too hold lloy in a sharedealing account that was a good price to get in at with rbs with regards to oil, im not into it at all, people have told me...

yes, the shares from the asset protection scheme came onto the market last week, they are freely tradeable on the first may, so people can sell them on for profit if they wish i've been discussing what will happen with lloy with regards to the shareprice, he's a major player in short selling...

hot stocks means movement in any direction, up or down organised shorters working lloy to 60P, or till ftse hits 4100, waiting till the aps shares can be dumped on the market on the 1st

wait till after wednesday/thursday for lloy they are having a rights issue, you get to buy 0.6 shares for every share held for 39P, quite a few will sell thier shares on ex-right day (wednesday i think it is) and keep hold of the 39P shares to get more profit, this will drive sp down

you would have made a nice gain today then, i got 25000 shares the other week as i feel its going to follow the rest of the banks, i'd like to see 37P by the end of the week

keep an eye on rbs, dyor ;)

no worries black swan, i had worse from the shorters when they found out i was long on lloy from 40P, and we got alot worse than the usual "mug punter" line, if it was a major loss i may have been sadened at the post, but as Halotrader didn't even know what impact my loss had, it kind of shows...

lol, i've had a cfd account for longer than two weeks, which was only deposited with 2K total, the money i've made on it far outweigh the losses by atleast 75% money wise, i turned that 2K into a 5 figure sum, call it inexperience if you wish ;) just because i don't post on here often doesn't...

yes, it is a lesson well learnt, learning costs money, your mistake was putting such a large amount in your account, your mistake wasn't losing the money, because thats part of learning, I don't think i've ever deposited more than 1K into an account (apart from my certs account), meaning if i...

frequenting the boards of ADVFN regularly, i'd say we have the same sense of humour as any "normal" person, you would see it on a slow day, when your gains are so high theres no need to talk about the next step, when the markets are closed, or when the shorters that have deramped for weeks on...

Craig, was it just this week that you lost the money? or have you always lost it? there were alot of differences in the market in the last week that i noticed, and it was hard to judge, if you was gaining before last week, then i would put it down to this weeks market, and tread carefully next...

You need to ring ig's credit division to get your deposit limit raised, and don't use barclays, i regularly see traders moaning because they can't trade in volatility
