Well said . Prediction at any time on a short term basis is plain daft never mind in this market . If you believe in the business invest for the medium term in a drip feed basis .

I think so too

Spot on . It is tiresome to read so many outlandish , extreme predictions ranging from the ludicrously high to the nonsensical low . Let us continue to plod along and buy into weakness in a realistic range .

Good luck . I have followed this for years as I said and have always rated the managers as they have changed from time to time . A good solid trust with a reassuring defensive attitude .

Very positive . I have topped up this morning and again and this is a major holding for me now . Roll on 180 .

I topped up today at 45.8 .

Well said . PI's need to understand exactly that and of course in the extra robust environment of pharma research the greatest caution is required . I am topping up !!

Fred Goodwin gets my vote

My finger will hover over the buy button waiting for 29.999 adjusted from 33 last week !!!! Keep buying small amounts on the way down still my strategy (probably flawed ) Good luck all !

Anyone out there ? I have been buying this from its inception and indeed from when it was Scottish Eastern (I think from about 1989 ) It has been extraordinary in its resilience to all the headwinds and I wonder if there are any other posters with it ?

It is impossible to call high or low in this market so I retain my strategy with all its flaws of acquiring small amounts at my pre-determined buy point .......raised from under 30 to 33 at the moment . It is interesting and informative to read soothsayers predictions but I am not skilled enough or confident enough to do that . Ultimately I want to hold 100k shares in LLOY . I am half way there with an average buying point of 47 .

So very well put . Dividend is a ship that has sailed . Top up on weakness and assume we will emerge from this crisis and rely on capital appreciation from as low an average as you can afford . If LLOY sinks we are all screwed anyway !!!

Defo long term hold . Held Mars for 3 years up till last year and enjoyed good divi and excellent shareholder discount card .

I am rarely lucky with timing but I bought in at 21 having sold at 128 last year . I bought because I believe they have a future and I have always liked their pubs as they opened in Scotland . I have had the opposite luck with other stocks like NSF and SPI !!

Me too . Keep topping up sub 30 . If LLOY goes we are all doomed anyway !!

Oxo, I have made the same point to MP who has contacted Chancellor on my behalf to complain . Probably a waste of time but we must keep trying .

Absolutely . I rely on divi for income and just as earners are being guaranteed wages so should those who have invested for income in companies who have done nothing wrong . Force majeur works for everyone .

Absolutely correct to cancel dividend .

I really wish I could predict the floor in any market . The word unprecedented is I think overused at the moment . My strategy is to buy smaller bundles on the way down and try to hit the floor with a reasonable average . Hope it works !!

I think a bid is unlikely in the present climate . I would hope that a general recovery in retail sentiment would be better outcome . Neither GKN or Whitbread a good fit . Keep the faith in the ability of Ralph and top up on weakness . I am in for a top up today .
