And Lloyds are the whipping boys of the UK Banks again today!

Strange how the collapse of the Evergrande property deal did not drag Wall Street down last night?

looking very good indeed! Hope Lloyds same next week!

Barclays understands the importance of delivering attractive total cash returns to shareholders. Barclays is therefore committed to maintaining an appropriate balance between total cash returns to shareholders, investment in the business and maintaining a strong capital position. Barclays pays a progressive ordinary dividend, taking into account these objectives and the earnings outlook of the Group. The Board will also continue to supplement the ordinary dividends with additional cash returns, including share buybacks, to shareholders as appropriate

Barclays paid a half year dividend of 2.0p per share on 17 September 2021 and initiated the share buyback of up to £500m announced with H121 results in August 2021, of which £279m was completed as at 30 September 2021. This was in addition to the £700m share buyback completed in April 2021

Dividends will continue to be paid semi-annually, with the half year dividend expected to represent, under normal circumstances, around one-third of the total dividend for the year

Can see this closing sub 48p the way it is going!

"Lloyds SP gearing up for another Santa rally"
Correct me if I am wrong but aren't prices supposed to rise in a rally?

Can you deal some "genuine" snow Brixton LOL

"wander if charlie will put the deferred; 2019/2020 divi in our christmas stocking?"
No chance.

Charlies message will be "bah humbug"
LOL

Barclays ticking up nice today, seems investors are anticipating good results from Barclays on Thursday?

Brixton
Not for me, I steer clear of the AIM roulette wheel!

"willy wave theory £6.00 year end"
stop bragging Brixton and I am not referring to SP

"50p before Friday, assuming Barclays results are good, I reckon"
Well I would love it if I am wrong and does get to 50p, but I still think no clarity on dividends and buybacks will be a drag on SP so if it breaks 50p it wont go much further.

Never mind Elliot Wave, the SP is moving more like a Mexican wave! LOL

SR1
IMO this will trade 47 to 49p until clarity from Lloyds on dividends and buybacks.

"Lloyds is going to break the 50p mark today"
No chance.

"No 110% loans"
When I bought my house in 1988 I took out a 100% mortgage with Bank of Scotland. A condition of getting the mortgage was that I had to pay an up front Indemnity Insurance which I believed was to cover the Bank I handed in the keys and walked away and the Bank sold the house for less than the mortgage they had given, the Indemnity Insurance covered the difference so the bank did not lose money.

28th October

You've been done Brixton LOL

No one on this board can answer that although I am sure there are some who think they can. The only ones who can answer this is Lloyds.
