Rob,

Do you expect the Board of Directors to be clairvoyants and know what price the shares will fall to so they can time the start of the buyback precisely ? For someone who has so much skin in the game here, you really are very naive in your opinions at times if you don’t mind me saying.

Cuckoo “You thicko`s know who I am talking TOO”

Oh the irony. While we’re at it, it’s not THERE, it’s “their” in the context you’re using that word. Being one of Corbyn’s disciples, he probably doesn’t think spelling is important in this day and age.

They’ve let him out of the asylum for the afternoon again then.....

He still doesn’t get that in previous years, shares have been issued when there wasn’t a buyback going on and that the two are not connected. Maybe sun stroke is setting in.

I should offload your holdings SUFCESSEX if you’re going to use your vote to enable Corbyn into power......lol

Check my post at 05.13 this morning Oxo. Speculation is that he has shorted CYBG and Metro.

You’re not wrong BB. Last one out turn the lights off if Corbyn and comrades get in. SUFCESSEX - have you lost the plot ?

Mr Eisman, whose farsighted bets against the US housing market ahead of the financial crisis featured in the Hollywood film, believes any deal agreed between the Government and EU will eventually run aground in Parliament. Banks exposed to the British economy would be among the hardest hit by an economic downturn in a no-deal Brexit.
Speaking at a conference in Dubai, Mr Eisman reportedly refused to reveal which lenders he has shorted but traders speculated that Metro Bank and CYBG – the two most shorted banks in the FTSE 350 – could be his targets. He also suggested he has drawn up a list of 50 other UK companies to bet against if Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister.

Lets hope he's not going after Lloyds. Asides betting on the 2008 Financial crash, he's been spot on regarding the Italian banks.

I read it as 105m shares. They’d have listed them whether there had been a buyback or not as they have in previous years. Common in many listed companies. Don’t tell Cuckoo, or he’ll fall off his perch......

I very much doubt reducing their holding from 5.01% to 4.99% has had any influence on the share performance of late Rob. It’s only because their sale reduced their holding below 5% that it had to be notified.

*I’m not sure you....... (word omitted 🙄)

I’m not you can make that claim when you look at the performances of Barclays and RBS but I hope you’re right about Lloyds and that it does start moving upwards soon 👍 I rather agree with Stagecoach that Brexit uncertainty is driving these and has been for a good while.

What makes you think there is a large seller out there and that the price is not being driven by market sentiment with the rest of the sector ?

What’s your rationale for saying this share price is about to rocket ? I’m a little confused by your conflicting posts 🤷‍♂️

You’d like to think that with a tangible net asset value of 51.3p, the downside is limited on Lloyds now......

“Lloyds up 155%”

Where are you getting your price feed from livestock ? Lol

Anymore of that kind of humour Tricky and we might have to put you under a Corfu......

They’re going to send us to a Greek Island on a weekend ? Don’t you think that might result in greater civil disobedience ?

Looks like everything might be dropping again in the morning.......

I’d like them to turn at some point Nokesa.....lol

I think you can blame Brexit and economic uncertainty for that Nokesa not a buyback.
