LTI is very knowledgeable and speaks a lot more sense than a great number of posters on here. I’m sure he’s taking a well deserved break. Bring on more buybacks on Feb 22nd. The ordinary dividend will be increased, there have been no disposals or extraordinary profits so there will be no special dividend.
Bought some more of these yesterday. Hoping the next dividend in April will be better than last years.
WW,
Maybe you haven’t lived long enough. Callaghan’s and Wilson’s governments were a disaster and Brown after emptying the bank as chancellor, was little better. Thankfully the electorate stepped back at the last minute stepped back from letting Kinnock and Corbyn into number 10.
WW and Falky,
Yes the Tories have not been good at times. Silly changes of leadership and covidgate but you ain’t seen anything yet when Starmer and his lefties destroy this country.
Bet you can’t wait for your socialist mob back in power Red mick-b can you ? We can look forward to the unions holding a Labour government to ransom again, even higher taxation to fund Labours wasteful spending, an expansion of the wasteful and inefficient public sector, windfall taxes on oil companies, banks etc. Last one out turn the lights out……🙄
Yup, UK stocks comprise just 14% of my portfolio in my SIPP now. The FTSE compared with the S&P500, Sensex (India) and the Nikkei over the last 5 years, has performed woefully. Better returns buying currently hedged funds in those countries 😎
You said this NuckyT on Feb st
“My advice is don’t touch this share with a barge pole. Wouldn’t touch it even with someone else’s money. Move onto something else, anything is better than this.”
And yet you’ve declared that you’ve bought back into Lloyds recently. How bizarre 🤷♂️
I wasn’t aware Lloyds lost £2bn somewhere in their figures. I presume it’s a childish swipe at buybacks. Billions of shares were removed from the register with that £2bn. Maybe you weren’t aware of that ?
Cuckoo,
I’ve never had finance on cars I’ve bought. I’ve always paid for them in cash/bank transfer. If the banks have been upto no good again, I’m dismayed. I agree, people should be responsible for their own actions. It’s been too easy to get credit for years now. I guess I come from a generation who apart from getting a mortgage, don’t buy things until I’ve got the money for them.
