Can anyone tell me what Antonio has achieved in a decade at Llloyds? Nothing comes to mind. If he was a snooker player he would be called "Slight Breeze Osorio" Potting only reds. He looks like a rabbit caught in headlights and the bank remains rudderless. Still in profit here with av of 31p but by far and still the worst share I keep.

Hi LTI, well I feel a bit better now. Thought it was just my posts being deleted. Book burners.

Rosewall a question and again "zippo" the post disappears, strange that. See how long this one lasts.

I recommend we all put add blocker on, stifle debate stifle adds, simple.

Police at it again here. Stifling debate. Really sad. Once away from lloy (41p) I will call it quits with LSE.

Disciple, did you see that poor retired trucker on sky news this morning? Have a look on catch up if not.
He was struggling for breath lying in a hospital bed. Sadly he lost his battle and succumbed to covid 19. Very very sad .
Now covid has killed nearly 100,000 people in the UK. How many have died from the vaccine? How many more will die because the virus lasted longer than necessary due to tough guys none taking of Vaccine? People should have vaccine for others if not themselves.

Trouble there Disciple smallpox rabies etc would still be doing the rounds were it not for Guinee pigs having vaccine. Poor argument IMHO.

Aye we`re all doooooomed captain Mannering.

PS, MRW special divi due Monday.

Yeah still here LTI.
I still have some barcs not a lot, token gesture. But have held MRW far longer. Held barcs when lehmans was an issue, court case won in USA. Thought with that success barcs would fly. No, more litigation followed with mr. Diamond at the helm. When divi was eventually re-instated back then I asked why bonuses were 50/50 with divi? A and was informed "We need to retain the best staff". At the time Barcs was up to all sorts of mischief with fines allover. "Best Staff" hmmmm.

LTI, very briefly, compare banks ten year divi payments to the supermarkets dividends. I have held both and know which pays best from experience. Banks never seem to miss out on bonuses though. "Of course we need to retain the best staff" I was informed once. Yeah right. Good evening sir.

"Covid really took the legs from under lloyds" yes it did but why no recovery? In reality the gov is holding the purse strings without so much as a whimper from the BoD. The house market is booming repossessions at normal levels so why no utterings from board. Life is not a dummy run. Some people will never see the resumption of dividend. OK the Gov got its fingers burned once before but was that not a consequence of mr.G Brown in lloyds case?

I blame no one but myself for getting involved with lloy again. I am finished with banks. Some of the highest profit makers and yet worst divi payers. Hence poor SP. All imho. GL all and G night, yellow tail warming by fire.

Falky, not sure how you find this share an "Exiting stock". Other stocks have moved up and down with more range. 71 billion shares in issue means a 1p rise costs £700,000,000. and is why its movement is slow up or down. It is by far the( a country f***ing mile) WORST stock I hold and by a long way. The ftse is only 10% away from pre covid levels yet lloyds is 50% . Abysmal and a reflection of this out of depth BoD. LLoy has not progressed in the last ten years. Everything about it =dire, even end of PPI has not breathed new life into this government obeying dog. I have not a clue how you make money on a SP that barely moves with purchase costs but hayho GL if true.

Everything about LLoyds is dull ATM. What the He** is that AD all about? its terrible, a black horse looks at a boat, runs at side of steam train, little girl smiles, horse in woods???? Long and boring and not inspiring. A bit like Antonio, totally bewildering. The bank needs someone with real drive, imagination, charisma in charge. Sadly all missing.

Because of the BoDs inability to communicate we have not got a clue.

Turn your wrath's on the BoD, They are the real "Clowns". What ever Falkland scribes will not effect nor has effected the SP. Go for the real culprits, the jam tomorrow gang.

DC There is just nothing happening ATM. SP has stagnated mid 30,s and do not see it going anywhere fast. I think we all need to have a walk on the UK,s beaches see if we can find and pull Antonio's head out of the sand. It needs someone to confirm "The divi is safe and being ring fenced. Also PPI will no longer affect divi which will improve more" But nothing as such. In fact I think they will reintroduce bonuses first after all Antonio and crew have worked tirelessly... allegedly.

What has more chance, LLOY getting to 40p by summer or Leeds UTD winning a game. Evens?

Looks like its the BoE that has caused todays drop for banks. If only Antonio was so vocal. He runs the bank not the BoE after all. Useless.

"Talk of 4p divi is rubbish" A divi payment of 4p would cost £2.8 billion. That amount is already there from last year not to mention this year and no PPI anymore. However I think you maybe right. The GOV will find an excuse to enlighten us of the divi burden.
