What have you been smoking this morning ?

Keltickilla,

A lot of people lost their lives during the pandemic. Trivialising it as sniffles and a cold does you no credit at all. It may not have affected you badly but some people were extremely sick. I myself was hospitalised for 2 weeks in an acute respiratory unit after my lips had gone blue and I have permanently scarred lungs. One of the posters on here lost his brother to Covid. I suggest your posts on the subject are extremely insensitive.

The Lloyds RNS section on this site every day. Hardup is kindly doing cumulative figures for us.

Carltt on a rant about landlords again 🙄

Why don’t you post under your previous nom de guerre ?

Yes the dividends I get are piddling from my US stocks. Outside the funds I own in the US (VUSA/ S&P and the Russell indexes), I own Nvidia, AMD, PayPal, Uber tech, Sofi and Goldman Sachs. The dividends on them are tiny and they use buybacks to reward investors instead. I’m quite happy with that as the capital growth has been superb particularly on the chip makers and Uber. The UK market is good for dividends but not capital growth at the moment.

You’re right forensic, and I’m not knocking anyone that works in whatever profession they choose to do. I just didn’t spend years getting qualifications to drive a milk float. If I wanted to do that, I wouldn’t have studied as hard as I did fella to qualify to do what I do. As I said, I wasn’t being derogatory to milkmen.

Come over to Reform UK 🇬🇧 fleccy. I likewise have voted Tory all my life but not this time round. The Tories are going to get a drubbing, not because Labour offer a better alternative but because people are tired of 14 years of Tory rule. My vote won’t make a jot of difference in a constituency where the Tories have never lost but the Tories need to move further to the right and become Conservative again.

Yes we need the brakes put on the share price until the buyback is complete. The sellers appear to have dried up which is a shame.

Well it’s an extra £5k a year you can put in fleccy I guess. Not a huge amount I agree. I have most of my portfolio in US, Japanese and Indian funds due to the poor performance of the UK market and with an incoming Labour government, I won’t be changing my strategy and taking advantage of this £5k British ISA.

Yes, waiting for confirmation from JCB that he’s sold. Cookoo could sell some more too as he hates Lloyds so much.

Did you suggest people should sell that share too ?

No, without being derogatory to milkmen, I am a bit more educated than that.

I wonder if the sellers are drying up. Lloyds seems to be up every day now.

And STP wants Angela Rayner as PM. Says it all really.

Lloyds up again with MS snapping up the sellers. How many up days have we had since the results ? I think it’s all except one. I await being corrected. The usual suspects who like to focus on negatives still hold the stock. Quite pathetic really.

Lots of UK companies will be snapped up with low valuations but you’ll need to be lucky. I have less than 10% of my stock portfolio in UK stocks now. USA, Japan and India is where the growth is.

Cheers hardup.

MS prudently buying up stock on weak market days. Another 32m for cancellation. Where have all the buyback detractors fled to ? 🤷‍♂️

BLB,

Market down, Lloyds up. Who takes you seriously on here ? Why are you on here ? If you don’t like Lloyds, go and play on another BB.

Going to get some more of these. Have 100,000 at an average of 73.4p.
