BofE struggling to keep interest rate down???

This Government is disgusting on so many levels -

Shame on those who didn't support the Tories and the Rwanda plan last election,

Wonder how many will be making adjustments to their financial arrangements specifically to 'Defund this Labour Government'?

Yes Ben - 2007-09 was a bad period for the financial sector - #Labour - and now we have 'Blair mk2' in office - some people have short memories !!! - clock is ticking!

Started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various poster's perception that lloy is 'the worst share ever', 'better else where' or a 'dire share',

8th Oct 2016 I invited wl/newchurch to choose an alternative ftse 100 company, so I could run a comparison, since 2016 others have been added

~~~ On 8th Oct 2016 - - 1000 quid bought 206 BP. shares & 1905 lloy shares

Today's value, BP. 206@386 =£795 v lloy 1905@76.5 =£1482

~~~ 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@292 =£978 v lloy 1553@76.5 =£1208

~~~ In July 2017 nucky suggested I add rbs/natwest - - on 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 NWG & 1512 Lloy

Today's value, NWG 384@513 =£1970 v Lloy 1512@76.5 =£1176

~~~ 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@319 =£1528 v lloy 1504@76.5 =£1170

~~~ In Sept 2018 motley fool recommended diageo over lloyds - - on 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 lloy

Today's value, DGE 37.3@1950 =£727 v lloy 1704@76.5 =£1326

~~~ In April 2020 theosus asked that I add circassia - - on 14-4-20 £1000 bought 3891 cir/niox & 3058 lloy

Today's value, niox 3891@69 =£2685 v lloy 3058@76.5 =£2379

~~~ In April 2020 theboard asked that I add rollsroyce - - on 25-4-20 £1000 bought 322 RR. (post 10for3ri 1073) & 3367 lloy

Today's value, RR. 1073@870 =£9335 v lloy 3367@76.5 =£2620

~~~ This week's observation - Flattish week for Banks, Russia/Ukraine possible peace deal? Israel/Hamas hostilities rattle on, Israel/Iran kicking off, cost of living continues to bite, strikes strikes strikes, Labour ditches more election pledges, Grooming gangs investigations? UK cusp of recession? Labour on course to crash our economy? Record small boat landings continue #IslandofStrangers, Winter fuel payment U-Turn! Farage living rent-free in Starmer's head lol

A very basic comparison that does not include divi yield, IMO those still suggesting lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' should maybe consider premium bonds?

Ben - I guess the 'block listings' are the best way to deal with their pension/Bonus requirement? Maybe a corporate tax advantage? - yes, the buybacks are cancelled straight away, hence the drop in 'total voting rights' at the end of each month during the buyback period.

Buybacks seem slow this year - rate it going, we could be near end of 2025 before the £1.7bn pot is spent?

Benny - you ask, "Do they also pull these shares out of thin air when the buybacks are ongoing?"

Apart from both having an effect on the overall 'total voting rights' figure, the block listings & the buybacks are unrelated events - the pension/bonus block listing will continue 'with or without' the buyback program,

The alternative would be to buy the required shares at the prevailing market price, which would affect Lloy gross profit, a swings and roundabouts thing I guess, have to trust Lloy knows best.

Benny -

2020/2021 shows what happens to the annual 'total voting rights' when the buyback programme isn't running - each year there are a number of RNS's outlining the block listings that feed their pension and bonus arrangements,
