My bad...that was Lloyds...

I'm in.

Was there not a webcast at 9.30 this morning?

In the early sixties my father was involved in the development of the Sea Cat and Tiger Cat missiles for Short Bothers... Travelled the world testing with various Navies.

Boy has it moved on since..

I would think that the same amount of cash set aside whether variable or not will result in buying back less shares and as the SP is over a pound and expected to stay there on improved results it is blindingly obvious.

Third party or not they are under Boardroom guidance. It is not a democracy.

You buy when it's sensible.

Institutional consultation will have taken place.

Now as regards Iranian targets. there is a potentially a real danger from an Iranian ship loaded with armed drones that could potentially "Swarm" a vessel. I have no idea if that vessel is a target but the US Navy will be aware of it and it's dangers. The Iranians have a lot of medium to long range missiles.

I have no doubt if "negotiations" fail they will be hit hard. Brits are there too in small numbers.

Asimple . Did you ever get a ride in a Sioux? Goldfish bowl with rotors and an engine.

Exhilerating esoecially low over the Irish sea.

Really? Lti. You might want to reprise your "clown" remarks.

Red. I will think about it. Lol.

?

Peaky blinders returning in spring... :)

Favouritr films. Seven Samurai/ life of brian.

Keep talking. . It's working. 5 % up for me in a few days .

Czq. Considering Trump announced last time he struck that Iran' s Nuclear capability had been destroyed. This " come to the table or else" threat is a cover story. If they strike it will be one of many missile sites and revolutionary guard bases. No boots on the ground.

The rest is up to the people to free themselves. Going to be bloody.

Czq.. I'm really not sure about the buyback. Same amount of cash as last year . Will obviously buyback a lot less shares this year.

"In respect of 2025, the Board has recommended a final ordinary dividend of 2.43 pence per share, which, together with the interim ordinary dividend of 1.22 pence per share totals 3.65 pence per share, an increase of 15% compared to 2024, in line with the Board's commitment to a progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend. The Board has also announced its intention to implement an ordinary share buyback of up to £1.75 billion, which will commence as soon as is practicable and is expected to be completed by 31 December 2026."

Many considering buying will base their decision on that paragraph. Unlike LTI I think it is perfectly possible to within that "up to" £1.75billiion to set a price structure for blocks buys, given that buying on that scale will of course boost the share price.

They chose once again not to pay a "special Divi"

Investors , depending on length of investment , can decide for themselves whether the yield and possible capital gains are a value investment @ £1.05.

and of course compare and contrast. I would say that Lloy look solid and as safe as any Bank . They need to steer clear of mistakes...

No Troubled but I did enjoy "The Good Earth" . Superb film from 1937 about Chinese Farmers and their struggles. No I did not go to the premiere...

Maybe a very late sequel "The Rare Earth" might be appropriate.

Asimple Re the Chinese point it certainly IS a little late! In my defence I have been banging on about (not buying Chinese goods whenever possible and their monopoly of Rare earths) Since 2008 over on ADVFN.

Another time. its going to be busy today on here..

Adeg. The answer can be gleaned from the Webcast possibly..Otherwise the "banker" LTI will tell you.

Troubled, I don't read comics, although I was partial to the Broons when much younger. One paper a week for the mrs for the TV guide. WE light the fire with it.

Asimple. I'll get back to you on the Embassy. The yanks are very quiet on is. So it Trump. Maybe they see an advantage. I wanted to ask a question on Helicopters...In particular my first trip in an Army Sioux in 1967..

Martin Lewis v the Chancellor on Student loans. Some Graduates will pay 4 times borrowed amount because of threshold changes and effective Contract changes. It is a tax. Not particularly sympathetic but if we want Doctors and Professionals.....? More they earn more they pay.

Labour revolt coming... But then this government is revolting.

Wooly thinking .. Sound like the last lot.

Earl y drinky? Point to the wrong predictions.

The Chinese are not to be trusted.. And our cash is funding suppression ...you want a list...?

No one needs an embassy the size of a village. in a country about tenth in line with their trading countries.

We allow it ...say goodbye to USA intelligence sharing.

You are a Turkey who voted for xmas.

They smell profits and they owe RR one... but it will not work ..

Read quite a few different opinions ... We shall see early doors..

The fun has started in Manchester already. The Mirror doing a hatchet job on academic-turned-activist Matt Goodwin,....

Running scared? Truth is Labour leadership would rather lose the Seat than have AB back at Westminster . Pathetic. Everything they do digs a bigger hole.. and of course ,they cannot see it.

Uncrossing trade madawg...

Google it.

Well another 5 bagger, if I get my timing right . like the last one and that's my modest bet over 5 years back in the bank.

This time I have spent a lot less cash and hold more shares.

All about the average.

As expected lloy blue again ..with rns tomorrow. The other banks still down a bit.
