I would love to know why my figures are incorrect
and where they differ from yours?
please answer this question without deviating
or showing abuse.

As usual, you never read messages correctly!
Are you calling RNS liars, if so you are not on safe ground.
Read the full message again and do the calculations yourself
Lloyds Share Buyback Scheme
Lloyds Banking Group has purchased the following number of shares
from its Broker (Morgan Stanley & co International plc) to RNS upto and
including 19th April 2024.
Actual trading days when shares were purchased 37 days
Giving a running total of 902,084,739 shares purchased
For an average actual trading day of 24,380,668
Can anyone explain why on the 5th April
Hard up managed to find another 959,312 shares
as he seems to be a law unto himself.
No good asking Hardup as he can only
offer abuse - poor fellow.
Does anyone on here have a London account
with Morgan Stanley?
Hardup
Stuborn as ever!
Just acknowledge that trading days you quote is wrong and is irrelevant and sort yourself out.We need facts - like the actual number of trades which is commonsense.
If you read my messages properly you see where I am coming from
and it is correct with regard to the "over £100,000" its HOW it is calculated
and I have said that its all down to decimal places - there was no criticism
intended or implied just another fact.
NOW OWN UP that quoting every trade day is irrelevant and stick to RMS
figures and stop creating figures that are false in relation to Lloyds buyback days
and are of no use to anyone. Who wants to know when the market is open to all share dealings, which they dont already know.
After dealing with you I am ready for a good laugh !!!!!!!!
Hardup
Sorry to see I have gotten under your skin again.
I take it all I have written is factual and correct as you havent
denied my comments and failing to respond. Quoting trading
days is irrelevant. Excellent.
With regard to your other figures - you are half right and there
is an excess of over £100,000 there. But this doesnt interest me
it was simply another fact spotted.
Its unusual for me to submit so many messages on one subject
but if you have been taught a lesson - great.
Everyone now has to be aware that when you quote "trading days"
we can all be aware and have a laugh at your expense.
Enjoy the rest of your day, and never try and argue a point which
was lost before you ever started.
As the saying goes, 'you cannot put an old head on young shoulders'
bye
Hardup & LTR
Tradings days - I do not see the relevance of quoting this.
You do not even give any indication that it could be distorted
and make no attempt to qualify it in quoted figures.
Total purchased todate is based on TRADES, as does everything
else following.
We all know how to calculate trading days as its:-
the number of trading days times the number of weeks times
5 minus bank hols (when S/E is closed) Its basic elementary.
I say on the 22nd March there were no share buybacks recorded.
None trading days is likely to increase but not factual at the moment.
Trading days quoted is false and misleading and is contrary to
FCA rules.
Phantom LTR wants to know the meaning of the word Phantom in relation
to my comment on trading days. Simple, its ghostlike,non existent.
It would be far better to quote the number of trades which support RNS figures
and help me with the correct average figures I indulge in from time to time.
No doubt you will both come back with your views and explain your relevance
without quoting ALgo again to me.
By the way, using your figures on the 3rd April, if you times your average price
by the number of shares you will find there is a difference of £112,704, but whats
£112,704 amongst friends? Not your fault because you only go to 2 decimal places.
Look forward to your replies on the benefits of trading days quoted as opposed to actual
trades.
Hardup
Thanks for the abuse on your post of the 29th March directed at sole at me.
I would suggest you revisit your figures and confirm what I had written earlier.
On the 2nd April my figures are now 564,760,172 total share-buyback
averaging 22,590,407 on 25 trades
Your figures of 26 trading days gives an average of 21,721,545.2
(Mustn't forget the .2 share)
I can see you are counting "phantom" trading day/s
which will only get worse as the year progresses.
Hope that explains that to you without getting
worked up.
Best wishes.
If Hardup is quoting figures for share buyback he should
at least try to be more accurate so as not to distort average
daily trades undertaken.
Thus Hardup quotes 22 trading days - should read 20 trades
25 trading days - should read 24 trades
Well soon be time for a huge takeover with Lloyds looking
so cheap. Who are the best contenders in the world?
Who would want Lloyds? Who could afford LLoyds?
Buyers beware!!!!!
Hardup
I am sure you like duplicating/copying facts and figures, but at the end of the day, this board is for LLoyds shares
and should be restricted to no more than a few useful lines of comment which is beneficial to all stakeholders and allows those who wish to comment, to do so. Thanks.
everyone to contribute. Hogging this board is benefits no one.
nkey
no
Upto and including the 16th March there were only 13 days of buybacks not 14.
The volume weighted average price per share is 45.66 or as I recorded 45.7 to one decimal place.
It is not 45-08
To lighten the mood.
13 days of buybacks for a total of around 578 million shares at an average price of 45.70
Those thinking of cashing in prior to ex-div for potential capital growth should now add buybacks to the equation
Dividend £1.43 any advance on this?
It must be increasingly obvious that if you want to ride with
this horse, you'll been ahead of those who dither. Back this
winner now and stay with it until the next dividend is declared.
It is clear, the "bears" have the upperhand and depressing the share price but the "bulls" now have an opportunity to reverse this trend and cease on the opportunity to give the "bears" a bloody nose. They have the opportunity in the next two weeks to buy in unison and hold, and leave the "bears" stranded, at least to those "bears" that sell shares they have not got and to buy back at a lower price. Lets have another "bull" run.
Time for another Bull run
Time to step in to protect the novice investor.
Please take predictions on here with a pinch of salt.
There is no one on here who knows what will happen to Lloyds share price from one day to the next.
At best the predictions are guess-estimates.
There is a list as long as your arm as to why share prices move up and down.
Shares are largely for the long term although you can, if you are lucky, make
a quick profit but you need a substantial holding to make that work successfully.
You must also be prepared to lose money therefore its wise not to put your eggs all
in one basket, and allow for a cash fallback position.
"sell in May and go away" seems to be the theme for June
