STP today........

"This is a major escalation! Iron dome was previously rescued by US and UK popping 1 million pound missiles at 25k drones. Iron dome basically can be overcome easily with mass attack of drones. Mass exodus from Isreal has been ongoing for some time. Most people in Israel are dual citizens. Masses of Isreali businesses collapsing including a main sea port. The state of Isreal is in terminal decline..."

Seany.....Correct me if I am wrong..........less interest paid out to prefs, but it will also mean loss of interest received on the capital that has been used to buy out the prefs?

Fakey

"Hardup, you need to go out more and see the world rather than spending all your life Watching Lloyd’s buyback..... for us, Londoners , we live our life....ATB"

🤣🤣🤣

You and your Londoners need to go out more and see the world and then you would not get ripped off paying £17 for a loaf of bread at the Borough Market, and stop humiliating yourself posting your fictitious shorts on Lloyds.

"Try to buy loaf of bread at Borough Market ?"

Simples......buy your loaf of bread from Tesco or any of the other supermarket chains! There must be some reet thicko's at the Borough Market if they will pay £17 for a loaf of bread! 🤣

We won't know that until dividend is declared when half year results have been released next week.

Coincidence or not after my email today?

I have had some email correspondence with Douglas Radcliffe at Investor Relations today asking for information as to why no shares have been bought back since 3rd July. I have copied his reply below.

"Further to your recent e-mail, and as you are no doubt aware, we have an up to £2bn share buy-back programme in place of which nearly £1bn has been completed to date so far this year.

The share buyback programme works by reducing the total number of shares in issue, meaning that shareholders will benefit from a greater share in the organisation’s distributions in the future. All else equal, this would also be expected to support the share price.

To your specific question the buyback has not been terminated and is still in force. The Buyback is always structured to endeavour to optimise the price shares are purchased at over the period it is in place (to be completed by the end of the year). Clearly from a company perspective the lower the share price the shares are bought at the more beneficial it is for both the company and remaining shareholders but clearly estimating when the share price is optimal is difficult. We therefore aim to have the programme in place for a number of months to ensure opportunities can be maximised and support is available if needed and whilst taking into consideration the volume weighted average price over the period. That is why you often see lower volumes at time of share price strength. This is exactly what has happened over the last few days. Given the strength of the share price the purchase levels have reduced.

I hope that is helpful.

Best regards,

Douglas."

It was on the cards.

STP.........."You are now back on filter, for a while."

Yeah right! How many times have we heard that before!

STP.......Ring any bells, who posted these?

"For goodness sake, can we keep it revelant to lloyds and lose all this political nonsense!"

"Just going to post something about Lloyds, as this is a Lloyds forum, and you wouldn't think it will all the shenanigans you get on here, at times...."

"You're detracting from this forum with your meaningless nonsense."

"You come on here with your negatively and nonsense posts."

"I am honestly getting quite fatigued with all this off topic chat!"

"I've not been on here all day. Other things going on in my life, besides this forum."

"TFE, hardup and I are discussing lloyds on the lloyds forum. Please do not digress."

"I have to start filtering, a few individuals again on here!"

🤡🤡

READ THE ARTICLE!!!

"But Starmer is also adamant his government will never reverse Brexit nor seek to be part of the European single market.

The EU has said it is willing to consider proposals from London to improve ties, but is unwilling to reopen the painstakingly negotiated deals that sealed Britain's exit from the bloc."

"The FTSE 100 has now underperformed the S&P 500 by a whopping -9% since May when the election was announced. There is no Labour bounce. We are seeing a Labour crater."

The FTSE is down -2.7% from it's peak when the election was announced in May. And it is more or less flat since the date of the election on 4th July. That is not cratering. 🤣🤣

Stevebt.......worth having a look at this link for options with your SIPP.

Stevebt.....once you go into drawdown you are free to access your money by taking lump sum payments as and when needed. But you have to go into drawdown to do that.
