Congratulations on winning Mr Meerkats YE2019 competition Mr Broadland

Just had a quick look on the 'justgiving' site but not seeing it yet (maybe too soon?) - might you have a link?

IMO AWAPPS - February's Year End results are likely to be a bit messy due to the final clearing out of Ppi and other past conduct item - Final divi should be secure but we may be lucky to see much extra (ie buybacks etc) - personally I look forward to the fiscal year 20/21, released from all the previous baggage Lloy should produce truly staggering returns, sure will be interesting to see how the market values a share returning 7p to 8p for the foreseeable future
eg P/E 12 = 84p to 96p

2019/20 results
Q1 Underlying £2.2bn Pre tax £1.6bn post tax £1.2bn
Q2 Underlying £4.2bn Pretax £2.9bn post tax £2.2bn divi 1.12
Q3 Underlying £6.0bn Pretax £2.9bn post tax £2.0bn
Projected
Q4 Underlying £8.0bn Pretax £4.0bn post tax £3.0bn divi 2.24p = 3.36p total (cost£2.4bn) + £0.5bn buyback?

With Ppi and other items behind us, why would results for the fiscal year 20/21 not look something like this (or better)
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

Zoros - Mr Broadland posted on the GENL board 29th Dec, a little early to be calling AWOL IMO

Next closest would be Mr Inner-Harmony - a 2nd time winner ??? - respect

Winner will be announced at final bell tomorrow

At the same time, If the board wishes -
Mr Meerkats YE2020 competition will be launched

Yes Livestock - 2020 should be a bonus divi year -
The final divi from the old 2x divi 19/20 fiscal year followed by 3x quarterly divi's for the new 4x divi 20/21 fiscal year
Just need to remember that the 20/21 final won't be so big under the new quarterly divi system

Usual week end update -
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 @ 484 = 997
Lloy 1905 @ 63.2 = 1204

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 @ 239 = 801
Lloy 1553 @ 63.2 = 981

In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS -
On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy
Today's value
RBS 384 @ 243 = 933
Lloy 1512 @ 63.2 = 956

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 @ 182 = 873
Lloy 1504 @ 63.2 = 951

In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 3229 = £1204
Lloy 1704 @ 63.2 = £1077

This weeks observation - market awaits the new year

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.
