158 to 160

Yep, I'm very happy with iag res and expect a good set of res from ezj also.

Just had further top up at 484p which seems a great price to me.
There is a risk that any underperformance in IAG results tomorrow or other general market jitters might have adverse impact on EZJ SP, but I'm confident in EZJ results later this month, and that this is a great mid-term investment.
Within 6 months I expect to see EZJ SP easily north of 600p

Thanks for your valuable input Shaun_LSE

don't you mean wrong username Simones

Simones answered the question posed to Carltt.
Oops

WTF does this share have to do to get a re-rate?
I get that there are some macro financial market jitters, but the drop today is more like a share that had poor results rather than one that outperformed market consensus and announced quarterly profit of £2.3bn!
Meanwhile the FTSE100 has risen slightly on the day.
LLOY is my biggest holding but boy is it my most annoying!

I see from the short positions tab that GLG partners have an open short.
Unless the LSE information is out of date that could be a very bad position to have open short going into results day!

Gunsup,
I am not disagreeing with your suggestion of a reverse stock split (consolidation), however I don't think I have ever seen this approach add full value i.e. a 2 for 1 consolidation does not double the SP.
The upside of a consolidation would be that the SP would see an immediate impact rather than the drawn out process of slow SP change caused by a buyback.
Honestly I would be happy if the Bod continue buybacks, or go for a consolidation, or any other appropriate mechanism, as long as they to reduce the number of shares in issue which I believe is a major issue for the business.

I am not normally in favour of share buybacks because they are often a copout by a BoD who has run out of ideas, however in LLOY case I am in favour of the buyback to reduce the enormous amount of shares in issue.
Even though it is good news that the shares in issue has dropped 4b in past year, it has a long way to go to remove the 36.5B shares issued in 2009, so I would like them to either maintain or increase the buyback rates while SP is around current levels.

and Bank of America just one week ago giving their rating with a 400p price target which is 20% lower than current SP ffs.

Stifel SP target changing from 300p to 550 is an absolute joke.
How can most of these brokers have any credibility, and who the heck would take their advice with that sort of about face?

Apologies, I got it wrong on dividend as pointed out by Ash and Tom.
If you sell on ex-div day you do get the div, but anyone buying on ex-div day does not qualify for that div.

If you sell on Thursday you do not get the dividend

No.
You must hold the shares rather than based on settlement date..
If you sell today or tomorrow you do get the div, but if you sell on 20th which is ex-div day you do not get the div.

thanks Sigmo.
I didn't see that on company events

Vince, what is happening on Tuesday?
The next event for EZJ that I can see is Q2 res 19th May.

My target for this year would be 280-300p.

Windows,
At current SP the divi is over 7.5% and at these prices I would take this as a long term hold for income and growth.

Mary,
How can you think an offer might be north of £3?
The current SP says it all, and even though the CEO has gone there is lots to do if this is to be turned round.
Frankly if , and thats a big if, there was any offer, it would certainly be a low-ball offer because this is a distressed company.
My hope now is that they kitchen-sinked the bad news and there is nothing else to be uncovered.
