    Suspect the recent news requiring Lloyds to revist the compensation paid to busines victims of Reading HBOS may have acted as a bit of a drag

    Well they reported very good better than expected figures today 

    so obviously the share price is down today...

    eh?!
    Bank results are notoriously difficult to comprehend as clouded by adjustments for provisions and exceptional items. The dust needs to settle somewhat. 
    Lloyds dust certainly takes a while to settle . 


    As one example. Halifax's PPI exposure dates back to the early 2000's.

    This is the only part of Lloyds that frustrates me, they should be making the right adiquete compensation right from the start
