Many thanks to all who took part in today's ripe 12.5m buyback #Buyback those dips A1

Name calling James? - you really are a nasty little man - I feel sorry for you #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Must say James - I'm puzzled why you feel you have the right or ability to tell others how they should behave This I found hilarious - https://www.facebook.com/JeremyCorbynWatch/videos/2005470326436748/?fref=gs&dti=1358735074162174&hc_location=group #UBS playing the algo's to perfection A1

Good morning James - pretty sure reader wouldn't want me clogging up this site with social interaction, off topic idle chit chat or casual humour - I find social media sites such as facebook much more suited to those aspects, take a look at this one, it's very funny - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1558141231105500/?hc_ref=ARSNYe8z3cpbnpVRSZ9EpOCjKoS6mD8I3dwz7wCSODoqdtqcjdLe1J4SI0sAWTW9Kss #Buyback those dips A1

Yeah, I know LTI - but I'm impatient lol #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

C'mon UBS - lets get that �1bn spent before Q2 #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland bosses are playing down customer numbers to justify branch closures, shocking investigation finds http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5797125/Lloyds-Royal-Bank-Scotland-bosses-playing-customer-numbers-justify-branch-closures.html #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Hobione - you ask a poignant question, IMO you only have to read some of the posts on this site to see the answer - why do some who report to hold Lloy post solely negative opinions? - the answer to my mind is clear - it's in someone's interest to keep Lloy bashing alive and strong - those who run the markets know that continued bank bashing coupled to investors natural short termism results in the transfer of wealth from the impatient to the patient, IMO when the daily volume becomes too low on down days the market will slowly start to raise the SP to seek out those waiting to get out at their individual break-even, but with so many shares in issue this process is going to take some time. #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Kern - In the unlikely event - of course Labour would already effectively own RBS - but if they wanted to own the whole of the banking sector I like your thinking - a Labour takeover bid for Lloy - how much would we charge them for our shares? I may consider selling them mine at �1.35 each #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Usual Saturday update, I started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various posters perception that Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dog of a 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 @ 577 = 1189 Lloy 1905 @ 63.4 = 1208 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 @ 381 = 1276 Lloy 1553 @ 63.4 = 985 In May 2017 Pugsy suggested I add Ocado - On 22-5-17 - 1000 quid bought 331 Ocdo shares & 1392 Lloy shares Today's value Ocdo 331 @ 872 = 2886 Lloy 1392 @ 63.4 = 883 In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS - On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy Today's value RBS 384 @ 279 = 1071 Lloy 1512 @ 63.4 = 958 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 @ 202 = 968 Lloy 1504 @ 63.4 = 954 This weeks observation - BP. & Glen the only 2 that did not fall this week, Banks still much neck & neck, Ocdo maybe topped out after deal news? Overall conclusion - A very basic comparison that does no include divi yield, IMO anyone still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dog of a share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing. #Buyback those dips but Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Additional detail - That projected Statutory �7.4bn would end up around �5bn post tax, of which the interim and final divi would burn up around 2.6bn, leaving aprox �2.4bn for buyback All subject to further Ppi etc and/or additional income from disposals Q2 should provide more clarity Meanwhile - Hey! where's my market distorting buyback??? #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Kinda like your painting HMG dependence on banks Kern - not going to get much milk out of a skinny cow - in your scenario HMG will need Lloy (and all the other banks) to make huge profits that they can tap in to - fatten up those cash cows. #Buyback those dips (Jamesroo - that means UBS, not PI's) A1

Pretty sure many think same as you Checkricky - plenty of people waiting to break even - but arn't you afraid of missing out on all those better investments while you wait? - maybe better to sell today? - every buyback needs a seller #Buyback those dips (Jamesroo - that means UBS, not PI's) A1

Market still seeking out the low handing fruit - and its a Fri - could be yet another bonus buyback today - sure can be a cruel game we play. #Buyback those dips (Jamesroo - that means UBS, not PI's) A1

Many thanks to all who took part in today's rip 27m buyback #Buyback those dips (Jamesroo - that means UBS, not PI's) A1

How much can I get for a kidney? I want to buy more Lloy #Buyback those dips (Jamesroo - that means UBS, not PI's) A1

Together with today's buyback we should get an update on shares in issue after close today #Buyback those dips (Jamesroo - that means UBS, not PI's) A1

Once again thanks Wids - 25% of daily volume is considerable given Lloys usual high turnover - come on USB - lets get that �1bn spent, looking for yet another bumper buyback day ;-) #Buyback those dips (Jamesroo - that means UBS, not PI's) A1

Thanks Wids - I note that's US - likely we play by the same rules? #Buyback those dips (Jamesroo - that means UBS, not PI's) A1
