To be fair Jamesroo, the Lloyds business is making good profits and it's emerging from regulatory scandals and bad past decisions not of his making. There is a reasonably progressive dividend schedule, and there have been efficiency savings, acquisitions and buybacks. He is not responsible for Trump, Brexit, the Tories or Corbyn or the interest and exchange rates.
Stop trying to cause arguments. You can go to any park bench in the country .. or suitable discussion board on the net .. and spout incorrect clap trap on all your pet subjects from Adam Smith quotations, aircraft regulation, photosynthesis, Y2K, Northern Ireland to 1984. No one, the EU included will bat an eyelid. Just try not to get insulting when people laugh at you.
If politicians, financiers and social media giants stopped b********g around (my asterisks … I meant messing) with the economy and country and stopped letting people waste and siphon wealth off, there's little dount in my mind this would be well on the way towards £1. Hasten the day's arrival.
But SUF was right we get off lightly.
"There are more than 50,000 free-to-use ATMs across the UK, 10,000 more than we had in 2009, and currently 12,700 pay-to-use cash machines, down from over 23,000 in 2009. “Less than 3 per cent of withdrawals at LinkATMs incur a fee.1 May 2019"

Lloyds shares in issue - 12 billion
RBS shares in issue - 70 billion
Market cap = shares in issue x share price
Lord knows what market cap means.. in reality... when the share price can rise and fall daily.
If that helps
Each to their own, and it depends on people's risk profile and time frame, but personally I won't be selling around this price. If you sell every time a share is down, and buy when its up that will turn out a negstive profit. Lower levels tend to suggest buying, even if it goes down from here. One thing I feel sure of the is price will return well above this before long. But.. each to their own.. there are so many bought and sold it matters not a jot what we do here.
When a person says they can confirm something, then they believe it to be true. Spend some time and work that out.
If you don't expect a reply, try not asking questions. There's one tip. Often I don't let foolish people have the last word here because their intention is to stop people posting normally by silly harrassing comments, the kind Mick mentioned.
At other times when its obvious to anyone such people are just eing foolush, trying to disrupt the board and normal posters I leave them to it.
I will leave you to it
LTI. Listen carefully. I said I do not believe the post where Mick said that existed for the reason I mentioned.
People who say they don't believe a post existed do not remember reading it. You are one of the worst culprits for starting foolish nuisance arguments. My first post on this subject was about people doing that here and LSE being right to take action.

I can confirm Mick dix not write that, not because I remember it, but because only an idiot would write it, and I know Mick is not an idiot.
Your posts .. like the "cunning" one you just posted, often seem like confirmations of the opposite in your case.
TFE not at all - if people post respectfully and what they say is not nonsense or abusive I personally have no axe to grind with what they post. LSE are well inside their rights to say stick to the topic more closely however and I have done so since.
The last time you posted something to me made you sound like an immature schoolboy just scraping through puberty. Your "challenge" has nothing useful to say.
