@Cevodniya £0.0313 if the price holds. Your decimal point was in the wrong place.

@Chesh When AI actually goes wrong, this platform won't function because its backend relies on it in fact, you wouldn't even be able to access the internet full stop. Understanding what AI is and what it does before commenting would be a distinct advantage, because replying in ignorance just makes you look foolish.

Every single post on here engages AI in one form or another, including your own. It is a basic rule of thumb that before criticising a tool, you should first learn how it works. Pulling me up for utilising AI during my interactions on here simply proves your own ignorance and makes my approach look brilliant by comparison. Rather than landing a slight, your insult has completely backfired.🤣

I expect news will fall tomorrow, as news is that news does. If its results you're after then yes I expect results may be included but whether they be the results you want to see depends on the results you're waiting for, as there are more than one set of results in the offering.

This forum has been so much quieter since I filtered troublesome. Knowing as we do that he swears by giving children beatings, he and another poster who can't count past 1234 are obviously cut from the same cloth. I wonder if they go for walks together if you know what I mean. Heatwave this weekend apparently, I wonder if the garden survives.

Lloyds is like a garden sometimes flourishing sometimes barren but currently the sun is shining and there is the smell of perfume in the air

"I am very spiritual person ,guided by The Boss ,who allows me to guide those on here with the truth"

Thats how my wife describes me on the days she doesn't call me a smug old git.

@Hollybean Just to clarify, the reason the overall number of shares is getting smaller each year is due to Lloyds' multi-billion pound share buyback and cancellation programmes, rather than institutions buying them up from retail investors. In reality, institutional ownership has remained relatively steady at around half the company, meaning retail holders and platforms are still holding and trading roughly 28 billion shares among themselves out of the total 58.26 billion in issue.

@czql5v Just for clarity, how are you working out the difference between the sells and the buys? The red and blue indicators on here are just automated guesses based on whether a trade went through above or below the midpoint at that specific time. In reality, the only people who actually know whether a trade was a genuine buy or sell are the broker and the trader themselves.

On a massive FTSE 100 stock like Lloyds, institutional block trades and internal matching mean these public buy/sell labels are routinely misclassified. Relying on them to spot a "tree shake" doesn't work, because the data we see on retail screens simply doesn't show the true direction of the volume.

Its as easy for me to get to Belfast as it is London I just travel North West instead of South East. Either way i won't be going, they can't talk about anything we don't already know anyway.

Nobody can definitively prove they are a shareholder on a forum like this, short of taking a screenshot of their portfolio statement, redacting sensitive personal info, and uploading the image and providing a link to view. Beyond that manual method, every user relies purely on numbers on a screen, meaning anyone in the room can claim to hold any position without verification.

Because of that, trying to call someone out or suggest they aren’t a shareholder is a bit of a fool's errand. You cannot prove it as a material fact either, so the claim holds no weight outside of your own mind. We all choose to accept each other's holdings based entirely on trust. If you decide you can't take another person's word for it, then equally, no one has any reason to accept your own.

Your calculation regarding the 22 share remainder at the company-wide level is mathematically spot on, but the outcome is determined by how the official share registry operates compared to a retail investment app. While many modern brokers allow investors to buy and sell fractions of shares on their own apps, they do this by splitting up whole shares internally on their own books.

At the level of the London Stock Exchange and the official company registry, shares can only exist and be traded as whole numbers. Because a corporate action like a share consolidation is executed directly by the company on that official central register, fractions simply cannot be issued. To make the numbers balance perfectly on the master register on the 3rd July, your broker will have to round your 54 share remainder down to zero, and because the cash value of 1.62p is far too small for platforms to process administratively, the fraction will disappear without a cash refund. If the net proceeds due to an individual shareholder exceed a specific threshold (typically £3.00 or £5.00), a cheque or CREST credit is issued. If the value is below this threshold (such as your 1.62p), the funds are retained for the benefit of the company, as the administrative cost of distributing micro-payments exceeds the value of the cash.

Punter dear punter none of that post aimed at me explains your hypocrisy but thats your way isn't it. You get with your pants down and rather than explain you just storm off in a huff throwing out insults that have nothing to do with the situation.

Punter appears to be under the misapprehension that others do not share equities within a portfolio and that only he has them. If you post on shares chats he posts on your are immediately public enemy number one suggesting he posted first and that we are following him. I posted once the 116 shares and ETF's that I hold within my portfolio and he claimed I was lying about four of them because he held them and he knew as a 'matter of fact' I didn't hold them. You really can't make it up.

In case you're listening Punter looking at your posting logs we have five shares in common except I do actually hold them rather than pretend to do so. Three of them I trade and two I'm a long term holder so get used to it. Now he's back in the green box.

#Punter1234 #Irony #hypocrite #liar

No

I can only assume Punter has sold his holding here, either that or he has been telling everybody porkies about his huge holding.

Skippy not all other companies have our potential. Certainly not the dog that is HEX with Bo Bo sulking and sharing no news. Why would folk invest there?

Why indeed, why don't you tell us why you invested here Punter? Or is this another sahre like Lloyds where you're not investing right now but you may do in the future whilst telling everybody of your holding.

The fundamentals remain unchanged, and the potential for hydrogen, argon, to go with new helium expansion is still strong. The only shift has been in sentiment, which has turned bearish. To me, this is the time when wealth moves from the impatient to the patient.

The initial leak and reports that Lloyds Banking Group was preparing to wind down and phase out the Halifax brand originally broke on 20th May 2026. The story first surfaced via reports in The Sun and The Guardian, outlining the plan to halt new account openings on 1st July and migrate existing customers to Lloyds.

Very old news

Its dropped back a bit but not that far, we are running at the same level we were on the 26th January 2026 so only fallen back to prices seen just shy of 6 months ago it could be worse.

Be interesting what price it will come back at

"CPH2 was forming the bowl well until they found out that Hydrogen and Oxygen don't play nice together sadly. "

Ironically, hydrogen and oxygen play happy families in hydrogen dioxide. As you can see, the two elements themselves are not the issue, water is remarkably stable. It is entirely about what you do with them at the time.

In the case of CPH2, the failure occurred under pressure whilst attempting to separate one gas from the other, resulting in accidental cross-contamination. Funnily enough, the immediate byproduct of that catastrophic accident is a room full of hydrogen dioxide.
