Perspective
According to the World Health Organisation, more than 1.25 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes.

Do we think Tom Hanks & his wife will still be alive in 2 weeks time ?

How many thousand of people have already had it and recovered ?

I imagine my life after I catch Corona will be much the same as life before Corona :-)

It's now declared a pandemic - as with most bugs & flues many of us will get it at some stage - as it moves through the population most of us will recover after mild or manageable symptoms similar to a cold or flu - same as each winter unfortunately we may lose some loved ones who are old and have underlying health problems - the world will continue to rotate - life will carry on - Lloy will continue to make huge profit and pay out a market leading yield - I hope I remain symptom free for Q1

Traverham - House of Lords could be ravaged - many must be in the 'at risk' group there

Lose ??? you talking fatalities or Ill for a while?

Feeding the fear eh !!!

And with Ppi and other items behind us, why would results for the fiscal year 20/21 not look something like this

2020/21 projected results
Q1 Underlying £2.0bn Pre tax £1.6bn post tax £1.4bn divi 0.75p June
Q2 Underlying £4.0bn Pre tax £3.2bn post tax £2.8bn divi 0.75p Sept
Q3 Underlying £6.0bn Pre tax £4.8bn post tax £4.2bn divi 0.75p Dec
Q4 Underlying £8.0bn Pre tax £6.4bn post tax £5.6bn divi 1.28p May (= 3.53p total, cost~£2.5bn) + £2.5bn buyback?

So, let me get this straight

I get the big fat final divi 2.25p from yr 2019 in May, then 3x 0.674p payable in June, Sept and Dec.

Then the whole thing starts again this time next year with the high probability of added value to shareholders from the resumption of buybacks

Wow - what's not to like

'Lloyds more than 6quid off it's top' - only someone mindlessly staring at a chart with zero understanding of events and fundamentals could make such a crass statement

Forever the optimist - I'm seeing a big old gap around 77p - looking forward to events that cause that to be filled - meanwhile I will enjoy my market leading yield and fingers crosses for the early resumption of our buybacks

I understand your reluctance to support your premise Darth

Could you list what gaps you are seeing please Darth - above and below today's SP

Darth
Is that just a gap on the Lloy chart . . or all the gaps on all the shares on all the markets

Difficult to imagine Covid19 paranoia is engineered just to fill a gap on the lloy chart lol

Congrats to those managed to take advantage of the market panic yesterday

C'mon AHO - lets get our buyback program re started asap

If you can keep your head when Jamesroo is losing his and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when Jamesroo doubts you,
But make allowance for his doubting too . . .

Back from my Thai holiday symptom free - surprised how few checks to re enter UK given the current paranoia

I started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various posters perception that Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share', on the 8th Oct 2016 I invited WL/Newchurch to choose an alternative ftse 100 company so I could run a comparison

On 8th Oct 2016 - 1000 quid bought 206 BP. shares & 1905 Lloy shares
Today's value
BP. 206 @ 395 = 814
Lloy 1905 @ 45.7 = 871

In April 2017 Invest4life suggested I add Glencore -
On 22-4-17 - 1000 quid bought 335 Glen shares & 1553 Lloy shares
Today's value
Glen 335 @ 174 = 583
Lloy 1553 @ 45.7 = 710

In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS -
On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy
Today's value
RBS 384 @ 157 = 603
Lloy 1512 @ 45.7 = 691

In July 2017 Utrickytrees asked that I add BARC -
On 30-7-17 1000 quid bought 479 Barc & 1504 Lloy
Today's value
Barc 479 @ 131 = 627
Lloy 1504 @ 45.7 = 688

In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 2740 = £1022
Lloy 1704 @ 45.7 = £779

This weeks observation - Wow, covid19 fear has had a devastating affect on the market, good to see Lloyd has faired better than most, looking forward to my market leading yield

Overall conclusion -
A very basic comparison that does no include divi yield, IMO those still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing.
