Opto "50 million traded after hours a 17.07, about 10 trades all at th4 same time!"

What does that actually mean to a Layman like me please?

So, is it time to dump Lloyds ahead of the show tonight? No doubt we will have to endure more Lloyds bashing whilst they deliberately choose to ignore the harm caused to the UK economy as a whole and this largely held stock in order to increase their viewing figures. Wonder what the FCA will have to say? More doom and gloom tomorrow no doubt as the market digests what they have to say.

Good Morning to all,

I have held quite a large holding since 2008 from 29p to the recent higher value and have only posted once before to voice my frustration about Lloyds being stuck in the past. I am pleased to see that they have moved a bit since then and have finally realised that in order to get the younger generations to ever bank with them, then they need to do a lot more than continually make adverts of people standing around in fields with a black horse alongside the slogan "always there by your side"! I am only concerned about whether or not I should get out now whilst I am still ahead (although not as much as a few months ago), or is it worth the long term hold. I am not concerned about whether the SP plummets to the low 20's if I have a real chance of it ever recovering and sitting on good divs into retirement. My only real concern is whether this whole car finance debacle could, as ML suggests actually include even more loans in which exactly who got what was not entirely transparent and the number floating round of £30b of which I presume Lloyds is on the hook for 70%. As stated, share fluctuations do not concern me, we have all had that ride with Lloyds. What bothers me is what does the ML worst case scenario actually mean for the financial security of Lloyds? What do payouts on an even larger scale than PPI look like? Does the bank have the means to pay these and just reduce divs and share buy backs over a number of years or is it in danger of going belly up? I am always continually frustrated by the ML coverage just to get viewers as opposed to ever pointing out the strain that these 'no win, no fee' outfits impose on us all and an awful lot of peoples pension pots! Sorry for the length of my post, but I would really appreciate the views on my questions from the people on here that are much more seasoned traders and know much more than a guy like me just looking for some income in retirement. Thank you for reading my post.

I have been a Lloyds shareholder since 2008 and have refused year after year to post anything negative. Yes the dividends are nice to have now, but year after year I think this will be the one when I see some meaningful capital appreciation, but am eternally disappointed.

As others have said nothing seems to lift this share price and the market is clearly as uninspired by Lloyds as I am. I think they are best summed up by their continual refusal to even update their adverts from incorporating a black horse into every one. Nothing about a horse running through a town with the narrative "always by your side" makes me or more importantly the social media driven youth of today even think for a moment about opening a bank account with Lloyds.

They are an older generation's bank that will just die out like the bricks and mortar department stores that refused to move with the times. I too fear that any meaningful movement in price will just be pushed down by a mass exodus of continually frustrated investors!
