Agree Bc2020, dividends will be restored in February, based on the green light from the PRA and positive sentiments from the BOD.
Expect the usual rocky SP up to the announcement followed by a steep trajectory north. 50p might be too much too soon in the light of the covid depression, be content with mid to late 40's over the coming months.

Seany123 - good advice from your analyst.
I guess that means you have no need to follow Lloyds or post for the next few years, although thanks for the warning.
There are bubbles still inflating, FANGS et al but be careful bubbles do burst.
So for clarity Falky, does that mean you have withdrawn from Triflepig's 20/50p £10 wager?
I had you down as a big spender.
Triflepig, to conclude the first past the post 20p/50p entrants are... Bertram, Falky and me.
I'm happy for Betram to choose the charity on my behalf. You shouldn't need to waste time considering benefactors but good luck anyway.
Bertram, I'm happy to match that bet if Triflepig is willing to accept. Perhaps more posters would like to join in. How many bets are you happy to accept Triflepig? Are you confident enough to open it up to the board?
Thanks Livestock. I think the impact of Andrew Bailey's comments may have been wrapped up in yesterday's gains.
Undoubtedly a huge step forward for the SP recovery over time. Be patient, I believe an announcement on dividends is due next month.
''LONDON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Bank of England Governor Andrew
Bailey said on Wednesday that he wanted British banks to set
dividends freely, and that the BoE's decision last year to
temporarily bar dividend payments was an exceptional decision
due to COVID turmoil.
"It is not our intention as regulators to take over setting
dividends," Bailey told a British parliament committee.
"We did it ... in a very, very particular and special
circumstance," he added.
The BoE allowed British banks to resume paying dividends in
December as the financial stability impact of coronavirus had
become clearer.

What news Livestock? Recent news or old news from the PRA green light on the resumption of dividends?
SP6IGHT ridiculous 88p
No chance, particularly as I have gone fo 89p
89p please.
Well said Falky
Asperger1 posts are invaluable. No nonsense, a break from some dribble dished out by the finger in the wind 17p brigade
If we follow current futures then 39p.
I'd say we will hoover around 40p for much of the day.
Wild Horses ...
"I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
Now you've decided
To show me the same"
Vacccine - 90% is good enough for me and higher than the expected 60-80%
Brexit - Starting to look inevitable in some shape or form despite the bluster.
Dividend announcement - Regulators surely poised to allow the banks to resume payments
PE Ratio s - I'll allow the chartists to explain that one.
Fundamentals remain strong.
Offset by looming macro issues ..
Unemployment
Housing Market weakness
The return of the 17p Derampers ..
MGood - hope that works for you.
Lloyds March low was 32p just prior to announcing the suspension of dividends. So, if we get any indication tomorrow of dividends returning surely 30p becomes the new starting price for Lloyds if you want to get back in.
pfox, I think this may be the week to turn a blind eye on the charts. Listen to the mood music this week.
The mere mention of the return of dividends Q3 results next week should see a further hike in the SP.
Those of us who have averaged down since March might well be in for a windfall should the regulators lift restrictions. Thank Barclays Q3 results for helping to lift the mood.
A happy optimistic Friday.
Derampers (17p brigade) look like they may have missed the boat.
Hollybean, why not do something more productive whilst you wait for that sub 20p entry price.
Leave current investors to wallow in our purple patch.
Why on earth would you bother to post if you foresee 17p?
Hollybean, sounds like you have missed out.
