why bother engaging with ima******, just filter the nutter. this person thrives on others replying to the nonsense he posts.

MP0818........"Then summing the buyback totals for each of the days between those dates I get a total of 943,744,511."

I think you have miscalculated the buyback totals for each of those days between those dates. I make it 506,300,564 28/03 to 29/04 inclusive.......(the TVR RNS issued today was issued before the Transaction in Own Shares RNS so I did not include todays share bought back today). There was also a Block Listing of Shares RNS issued on 28th March for 75,000,000, so it seems that 7,421,378 of those have been awarded which subtracted from 506,300,564 gives 498,879,186.

"Also as a rule they are normally several days after divi payment date. Expect around 25 May"

I am with HL and I always get the dividend payment on the dividend payment date, usually around 12:00 to 14:00.

"Another junk day dragged down by the US again,Im off for a walk"

Seems to be the way with Wall Street this year, they are expecting news of rate cuts, but when the FED meeting starts they get jittery and retreat.

The narrative from Jerome Powell after the conclusion of the FED meeting on Wednesday will determine direction of markets this week. We then have a week to wait for the BoE MPC rate setting meeting on Thursday next week. Good luck to long term holders, and hope the shorters all get toasted. 😇😇

"And what’s not to say the government of the day will requisition a lot of them for migrants and asylum seekers at the expense of Lloyds."

I'm sure Lloyds could make them available if the Government paid above premium rental rates.

SNP leader Humza Yousaf giving press conference now announcing his resignation as SNP Leader and Scotland First Minister! whoop whoop 😇😇

I agree P1, the UK Government would never allow a major UK bank like Lloyds to go into foreign ownership.

US first quarter GDP growth is an annualised 1.6%, well below the 2.5% consensus expectation, but inflation is hotter with the core PCE deflator up 3.7% annualised versus 3.4% expected. This suggests, assuming no revisions to monthly data, that the core PCE deflator will come in above 0.4% tomorrow rather than the current 0.3%MoM consensus forecast. Unsurprisingly, Treasury yields have pushed higher as if that is the case, it makes a near-term Federal Reserve interest rate cut look even more unlikely.

Barclays nearly 6% up now! Interesting to see how Natwest get on tomorrow with their results. Seems Natwest have "shaken the 5hit" of the end of the end of the stick that Farage was pointing at them.

DT

No one has "hade a go" at score.

DT

"Score, this is what they do on here they are bullies...."

Hypocrite or what! Have a look back at some of your previous posts to Falky!

Brixton

Good dividend yield at your entry point as well, 8.58%.

Falky

You posted saying your average was 51.09 then 51.44, you did not post the actual short trades and prices to arrive at those averages.
