"Skier1 is shaping up to be the most miserable poster of 2021."
I disagree, it will be a tie between Skier1 and BlindLeadBlind.

Skier1,
Otherwise OK?
LOL

What is really the problem here........COVID or NHS Hospital capacity? Seems to me the Government needs to address the capacity of hospitals now and start funding increasing capacity going forward as COVID is here to stay.

"The Gap of 44p will be closed today/this week and "hopefully" there will be no
New Gap @ sub 50p......."
I was under the impression the GAP was closed yesterday?

"Opinions, well we all have them"
I prefer Clint Eastwood when playing Dirty Harry version of this, "opinions are like @rse holes........everybody has one!"

All I want is some regular income as well. Look at the link I posted earlier which takes you to a recording of an Investor Relations Meeting with Lloyds on 7th December. The recording is 35 minutes long. If you fast forward to 23 minutes and then play from that point they discuss return of excess capital and dividends.

SUFCESSEX;
" Any excess capital will be considered to be returned end of Q4"
That is not exactly how it is worded and is misleading; what you have posted is being read as all excess capital will be returned which some are thinking will be 7p per share.
The actual wording is "As indicated previously, any return of excess capital will be considered at year end." All this is saying it will consider paying AN amount of excess capital back, it does not specify any particular amount, so it should not be read as it will be paying ALL excess capital back.

"Charlie boy leaving price drift until he fills his boots with shares"
I said the same a couple of months back. Watch for director buys just before the 60 day period starts before date of final results (24th February) in which directors are prohibited from buying/selling shares in their company's. Expect to see big director buys a week before this 60 day period starts.

FFS here we go again! Can I suggest pistols at dawn for you both to sort this out and give us all a rest!

ScandiExpat,
"Some is perhaps explained by lack of clarity of the dividend strategy which may be classified the next few months."
There was a ShareSoc/Yellowstone Webinar with Lloyds Banking Group on 7th December, presented by Douglas Radcliff (Group Director of Investor Relations). It went on for 35 minutes. On dividend policy he said that Lloyds had introduced a progressive dividend paid twice a year, which tends to be 1/3 interim and 2/3 split. He went on to say the interim payment 1/3 was 0.67p so it should be fairly easy to work out what the expectation for the final dividend will be. I have posted a link for a recording of this webinar. If you forward it to 23 minutes and start play at that point this is where dividends/buybacks are discussed. My thinking is he has confirmed there will be a final dividend of 1.34p paid, but make your own mind up. He also alluded to market expectations there will be a £1 billion buyback.

You could have been in the running for "tipster" of the year if you had not been saying a while back you would only sell at 99p! lol

Market Makers and City Wide boys doing their biz!

Brixton,
My last post was tongue in cheek, most other's on this board will know that.

There's a GAP at 77.1p as well if that helps! lol

Don't buy any more Argo Resources!

I laughed when this post came up this morning! lol. Current SP 45.08, down -2.7% now. But Barclays only down -0.25% and Natwest flat. MM's and City Wide boys taking the ****!

One death confirmed and the British Media frenzy starting already.....Daily Express headline "Covid LIVE: Omicron horror as first UK death from new variant confirmed"
FFS!

I am ahead of the game this time and ordered this before the panic buying starts and there are none left on the shelves when Boris the buffoon announces Plan C.
