As have previously said on other boards, the share buyback game does not reward shareholders…look at LLOY..the only beneficiaries are the brokers. Results will be interesting…last count ABDN div cover ratio was over 4 . ii should start to contribute soon to profits.

sorry not concentrating with all the fun, Marina Wheeler, not Warner

If he intends to stay until autumn, Bozo needs another handler...Dominic Cummings or Marina Warner could keep some sort of control of him.
PS: What is it with waiting until autumn? Is he staying on to make sure he gets his full holiday allowance?

David Cameron must be enjoying some schadenfreude of the spectacle of a bust-up between the two knife wielders Gove and Johnson.

looks like Nunn is looking for good reason to not pay a decent dividend.

maybe it was your post saying you blame women ....bit dinosaur-like.

sufcessex....glad you have so much time on your hands..not quite, one holding sold...also hold physical...which will give you an idea of my losses on those and have separate holdings bought at low during pandemic...hence happy to sell up to average in on JRS...fyi
My point is money spent on buybacks would be better spent on dividends..it's called distributing profits to shareholders. No dividends during pandemic, fair enough , but poor dividend now is not justifiable

IMB is a good place to park money while waiting for ?? normalisation, whatever that is.
high yielders are good for LTHs...better than share buy-back heroes.

Looks like share buy back is going well...it's really supporting the share price and returning value to investors....not.

check out POLY and JRS for the real crazies

agreed...much recommendation by Ian Cowie of shipping ITs...this should also be on his radar.

big-blue...Russia should be run by NATO or UN administration ? are you for real?

so which side of the sectarian battles in Iraq did the USA fund?

That's some geographical stride...Ukraine to France?
I think Putin would think twice about invading a nation as disgruntled and disparate as France

it's on their website...28th June 122 odd...
not sure if RNS feed is working particularly well

probably a stupid question but how can they identify gold as "new" gold mined in Russia, rather than gold that has been in sitting in Saudi Arabia or India for a couple of days ?

big-blue and pandammonia happy?
Ukraine is no innocent so enough already.

right wing madness??? more like country without a clue what a moral compass is.
No-one has a rational solution to gun control...except arming school teachers...hmmm, can think of a few who might have taken out the odd pupil in my school

yes, theoretically "your shares will go up in value"....not much evidence of it at HAS/LLOY and multiple other buyback enthusiasts...as I have posted elsewhere, the only beneficiaries identifiable so far are the brokers and MMs reaping their commish

how can they put a price cap on oil that they have sanctions against using? Sanctions aren't working...it's to do with realpolitik.
So OPEC (ex Russia) will agree to an oil price cap as well?
OPEC haven't exactly been enthusiasts for increasing oil supply which would bring oil prices down...and they have been asked for this numerous times already.
