Righto Triflepig your on. Will donate £10 to Mr. Meerkats charity should SP hit 20p. You if, sorry, when it hits 50p 8-)) Wish me luck.

Triflepig, would you like a friendly bet? I bet you £10 that lloy hits 50p before your 20p. Money given to a charity of our own choice through just giving.

Is lloy going to break 40p and hold it. Any TA folk on here with thoughts?. The silence from the BoD is deafening. Not a squeak. Barc`s up good today on rumor's of divi reintroduction. Can not find news to support this but think this is what has dragged LLOY sp up. As usual the share holders are seen as a distraction , not worth being briefed. Will sell after 41p reached. Second time I have been involved in LLoyds and again slowest recovery stock in my portfolio. We really do need some info on banks performance, sooner the better.

RR has increased its footprint around the world at the cost of "Restructuring" its UK workforce. That's ok as long as it does not again come cap in hand to the UK taxpayer, let it ask Singapore. I hope it can sustain its self for another18 months because that's how long I see this storm lasting. Very happy its no longer in my portfolio.

LTI, No disrespect meant. Just fed up with being a LSLI. ( Long Suffering LLoyds Investor ) GL.

LTI,
Thats my point, why buy back just to issue more?

Nah, WW I actually think buy backs will be tax efficient. Then issuing new shares tax free to whom lloy deems worthy.

LLoyds are doing both though, buying back then issuing new, probably half going to Horacio. No advantage to us peasants.

Asperger I understand that but if you then issue the same amount or more new shares hows that better for divi and holders?

Hard up,
please explain to me how say 1,000,000 shares bought back is not offset by issuing 1,000,000 new shares? How is this better for divi?

Dohnuts,
I will watch that documentary, thanks for heads up.

When the BBC was in full preaching mode a few years back over pollution I asked them through the freedom of information act to tell me how many aircraft flights it had paid for to send its staff to the Russia world cup. They informed me that "We don't need to give that info as journalism is exempt from the freedom of info act" Hypocrites.

Dohnuts,
I remember Bellamy when I was a kid. His enthusiasm for nature was infectious. We used to imitate his voice at school " Great big spider" was a favorite. When someone asked Attenborough " What caused the glaciers that covered Britain and Europe to melt 10,000 years age" he did nothing but mumble gobbledygook. Then asked "where did all the water go David?" more floundering.
David Bellamy was an inspiration, something the BBC will never be. RIP DB.

" David Attenborough 15 years ago didn't believe in global climate change" Nor did the great David Bellamy. He was shunned by the great bastion of truth the BBC, never to appear again because he would not buy into climate change. Attenborough changed his tune to keep his job.
BBC just before Xmas "Food shortages imminent" Plain scare mongering. No food shortages. Please don't quote facts from the BBC. They have their own agenda.

The housing market is booming, prices rising, ( a bit to fast perhaps) Lloyds is a more UK focused bank so should not be to effected by any fall out from financial services, divi cash still there, divi reintroduced later this year and covid on the retreat come Easter due to vaccination program. Aimho of course, but I see Mr. Chips holding here as a correct decision. The second half of 2021, without further problems should prove fruitful. Oh nearly forgot Brexit done will also calm markets.
GL all for the new year.

"Try to make 2021 a year where you start to think before you open your mouth"
I find that statement a bit rich coming from our thistle chewing Buffo0n. I wish to read knowledgeable posters on here not Rosewallies nonsense / BS.
To those who post useful insights I thank you, GL all.

HAHA, nearly fell off my stool laughing "Rosewally is right" good one.
Shane the remoaners are still at it though. They could follow Lord HawHaw the traitor, he had the decency to clear off to Germany. Bon voyage.

Strange, would not post first message then two appear. HAHO.

Just be careful , the "Tax refund " scam is doing the rounds again. I wish the perpetrators bad luck on swift wings.
Happy new year all honest people.

Just be careful of "Tax refund" scam doing the rounds again. I seriously with these people bad luck on swift wings.
Happy new year to all honest people.
