"Why is it only old people with stocks in oil companies and water companies think polluting the planet is excusable?"

Is it because they are going to die soon?

"his posts are gone"

sorry wishful thinking. just the one that Ant copied

Ant

Yep Im pretty sure my request to the mods has worked, Bloomers Blower doesn't show up in the members area and his posts are gone. He is history. No doubt he will turn up again soon with a new name. Good to see the mods take their responsibilities over content seriously. I know a few of you sort of liked him and I know that no-one is all bad, but he crosses the line and consistently disrespects people. Hate speech should not be tolerated.

Ive had the comment removed, time will tell if Blowers has been removed along with it.

Does anyone else find Blowers hate speech unacceptable?

Optimism is healthy but hoping for a near 30% increase seems a little unrealistic to me?

Other than some kind of takeover bid, what else do you think could happen to take this over £2.00 in the near future?

"If you are really, really clever you’ve got your cash on the side and you know when to buy, this morning."

Thanks for reply. No, Im really NOT that clever!! I bought M&G on Friday in my ISA which was far too quick. I do have some cash spare in the sipp as I was considering drawdown. This mornings opening saw instant rises across my portfolio, so Im mighty relieved and hoping they will stick. I may still be tempted, but will probably keep hold of the cash with an eye on paying down the mortgage. If we get off lightly with the car scam, I reckon Lloyds will be comfortably back in the mid seventies with good growth and dividend prospects in 2026 and 27. Best of luck.

"Seen it all before"

Helpful to read that, as its at times like this when I wonder if Im cut out to own shares :)

"675, The world has to move on , Covid didn't last for good...IMHO"

The world doesn't stop turning, but stock losses from covid took years to restore. The ftse 100 index took almost three years to return to its 2020 level. Thats why I wondered if your theory was based on anything of substance?

"All this Trump's nonsense will be over and forgotten in the next few weeks/months"

Care to put any detail on the how and why of this big statement?

"possibly influence the amount of Interim Dividend being declared at half year results and/or completion of this years buyback?"

Appreciate its a consideration but I'd be very surprised if they changed any existing plans. It will likely influence future buybacks, but LBG make so much cash I doubt they will cut the dividend. Next year sees the structural hedge kick in, investors seemed very impressed with future prospects being able to shrug off the car scam.

The worst is yet to come :)

Gate

Yes he destroyed his reputation with bad judgement calls. All that career success instantly flushed down the toilet.

"Lloyds is a transformed business. Looking forward, against a stable, relatively slow-growing UK economic backdrop, the business should continue to deliver high returns and, in turn, generate surplus capital, which will be returned to its shareholders via growing dividends and share buybacks. Lloyds valuation , at 0.95x book value is way too low given the low-risk nature of the balance sheet, the surplus capital generation it will continue to deliver and its improving returns. A more realistic rating reflecting these characteristics would imply a total return over the next two years approaching 100%."

Let's hope thats not the kiss of death.

Did you make any buys yesterday or Friday? New ISA invested? Just curious.

"just in front of our own Mr LTI"

:)

"Does anyone really believe LTI really bought today"

Yes of course I do. And a few were bought on Friday too. I have been here several years and I know that he never bullsh*ts. I appreciate the way he posts his trades in real time.

You, on the other hand, have consistently demonstrated yourself to be a trolling fool that doesn't trade any shares at all. I presume you only hang out on this board because you dont have enough resource to do much else.

I thought he makes an interesting comment in this at 6:38 when he says "its not the truth that matters, it's the sense of grievance". The idea that the sense of grievance is Trump's starting point and then reality is constructed to suit that narrative is really insightful.

"I think we might have some turbulence on MONDAY"

Yes I agree, widespread turbulence is almost inevitable, but I am not sure that there is lasting damage being done to M&G?
