Some people seem to be getting overly involved in a thread about shares. If anyone dare offer a positive outlook then the insults fly out. Very bizarre. Not sure what their issue is???

Well, my issue is that people are talking up a share price that they claim to have bought for themselves, but are using untrue information to support their claim that it's likely to go up.

Which is against the law, as well as the t&cs of the MSE Forums.

well is it not also against the rules to post offensive comments against other posters?? Thats been done on this thread.

I have shares in Lloyds, but am currently down on them (quite a bit unfortunately) but still in it for the long run. Just because someone has a different opinion to you doesn't mean they are breaking any rules. I have not seen anyone on here state that anything they have said is fact so how you can say its untrue is not here or there as no-one has stated anything other than rumour. Nothing there is against the law.

Also, no-one appears to have state anything like, "buy lloyds now" etc so its not against the rules of this forum.

Personally, I don't agree with the view that LLOY will be nationalised so I see the growth potential in the share, you don;t. Its all opinions as most things are in life.

I see you don't state the same argument on the numerous gold threads that have been stated. Is that because its bearish and you want the recession to continue for some reason?

Probably. It happens a lot though, I think there's a line. I haven't been offensive, though I've been blunt. It also partly depends on the prior behaviour of the person being insulted.

Surely when someone says something you assume that they mean it is fact? I don't tend to end all my sentences with "and that's a fact!"

so how you can say its untrue is not here or there as no-one has stated anything other than rumour. Nothing there is against the law.

Decadent fool presented fictitious profit numbers as fact, for a start.

Also, no-one appears to have state anything like, "buy lloyds now" etc so its not against the rules of this forum.

Regardless of whether you explicitly say 'buy it now', you shouldn't go on the internet to talk up a share that you own. Stamfordblue said they were "a cracking buy" and would go up by "at least 25% on Friday", so if that's not saying "buy it now", I don't know what is!

Personally, I don't agree with the view that LLOY will be nationalised so I see the growth potential in the share, you don;t. Its all opinions as most things are in life.

There might be growth in the share, there might not. I bought a bit before the HBOS fiasco when Lloyds was still a relatively sound bank, and sold it quite quickly for a small profit.

I suspect, based on past evidence of bank behaviour rather than specific knowledge about Lloyds, that it will go one way or another fairly quickly, I doubt long-term is the investment for Lloyds - you either lose all your money by this time next year, or you double it.

I see you don't state the same argument on the numerous gold threads that have been stated. Is that because its bearish and you want the recession to continue for some reason?

I don't own any gold, though I own a few shares in gold miners. I think gold is a special kind of asset like 'shares' or 'cash', I don't see a problem discussing thoughts about the gold price any more than discussing whether to buy 'shares'. But I wouldn't ramp up the price of a specific gold miner on the internet.

No, I sold them last night (as I knew results were coming out today), hence the profit,

You still haven't told us how you were able to sell shares when the stockmarket was closed (and make a big profit of course :rolleyes:). We'd all really love to know your secret. Thanks in advance.

Entertaining.

I bought a few shares in Lloyds, Barclays and RBS which I realise was a risk but I thought one worth taking for my personal circumstances and taking into account the amount I was willing to risk.

I am of course looking long term on all shares for the next few years but seeing savings rates are so low, I think it's worth a go.

@ beingjdc.

If you're going to quote me, please quote correctly.
I did not say that Lloyds shares would go up by at least 25% on Friday.
I was talking about a years time.
If you don't believe me, please go and check.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that buddy = decadent fool = stamfordblue i.e. the same clueless person?

'They' don't even seem to know the proper name of the company they claim to have bought shares in. And claim to have bought shares when the stockmarket isn't even open! All in all then a right bunch of charlatans. I doubt if any of the 3 of them ever owned a share in their lives. Beware!

Fatpig - if you wish not to believe me then that's your issue, not mine. Have nothing to prove to you, I never claimed to have sold shares when stock exchange was closed. Seems your getting way too involved in this and distorting the truth. Get over yourself please :rolleyes:
