The Black Horse Gallops Ahead - and I should Jolly Well Think so, too

Hello Share Shufflers. This old punter struggled to find you a deserving, but overlooked, small capper this week. So I return to a well-traded penny share, Lloyds Bank (LLOY). The Black Horse has been galloping ahead, putting on nearly 20% since a low point on February 13th. But it’s still a long way from its post 2008 bank crash best.

I am not sure if any bulletin board morons are still discussing takeover bids that make them rich beyond their wildest dreams. But surely, as by its own RNS admission, Canadian went bust this week the shares should be suspended now. I remind you of the RNS from 22nd February.
