"Previous post mention that we still have 800milions for buybacks hence the figures"
As of this morning, out of the total £2BN available for buyback, there was still £1,208,653,001 outstanding available to spend on buybacks.

"About 7 weeks to find out how much the dividend has progressed by."
Half year report is 27th July so a little over 11 weeks before we get news on how much the dividend has progressed by.

"They are running out of shares to buy back with over £600M + to spend, because folk are holding out for the dividend payment"
There is no reason for folk to hold the shares now as they have already qualified for the dividend payment on 19th May, so even if they sell today or any day up to dividend payment day they will still get the dividend, as long as they were invested in Lloyds at ex dividend date.

LOL

Every share is a penny share as long as a 1p coin is legal tender. lol

Consensus on Lloyds. I am a long term holder, I do not day trade. My objective is a rising level of dividends with some capital gain along the way. It doe's look a rocky road ahead, but I will hold and take the dividend along the way and I am sure the full value of the company will be reflected in the share price given time. SP could possibly go lower from here but I don't see it going anywhere near the lows of the COVID crisis. The only reason Lloyds and all other dividend paying companies SP fell so low during the pandemic was attributable to dividends being withdrawn. If the PRA had not told companies to stop paying dividends I don't think their SP would have fallen as much. And although there has been criticism of the lowly level of the rebased dividend, I think this was a wise move and should ensure continuity of payment going forward if the markets fall further this year and next. All IMO.

I cut my grass on Tuesday but up here in the Northern Isles its been pretty wet since and I swear I can literally see the grass growing back. It's a balmy 13 degrees C today. lol. I like you am not working and can manage on dividend income until I get state pension. Take it easy.

Are you working now?

FTSE Futures mixed at moment; IG has them down circa -12 pts. Live Index has them down circa -3 pts. Anyone's guess just now for Market open?

"I know this is simplifying the situation but I would be grateful of other wiser more experienced LLOYDS holders views, thanks"
Good luck with that. By the time you have read all the posts from the ramper's and doomsters you will be totally mind fecked.

"Do you require some help ?"
lol
If I ever think I need the help of an illiterate re-t-ard I'll take you up .

"The hedge funds, pension companies, just don't want to sit on anymore Lloyds until the future economics look stable ."
Lol! The Hedge Funds are playing this like a fiddle making a fortune!

Looks like the Market is expecting a 0.25% rise in rates today which will likely be received poorly by Banking Stocks after US FED raised by 0.5% and also commented that 0.5% rate rise would be on the table for the next two FED meetings?

So Wall Street had a decent rally yesterday after FED Meeting raised rates by 0.5%.
DOW closed up + 2.81%
S&P 500 up +2.99%
Nasdaq up +3.19%
All US Banks well up on the news as well.
Citigroup up +4.25%
Wells Fargo up +4.18%
BOA up +4.04%
JP Morgan up +3.29%
Goldman Sachs up +2.97%
and finally running up the rear, who else, lol, LYG up +1.75%
Hopefully a good day for UK and European Markets and Banks as well with BOE rate decision due at 12pm noon today.
