lontimeinvester, Asperger1, buybacks going well Does everyone on here realize that the buyback program so far has not kept pace with the number of new shares being issued for bonuses etc . This has been well discussed over on the iii loyds blog ....in fact there have 50 odd million new shares being issued more than the buybacks. The buyback program is so far not keeping pace with new share s being issued is the bottom line

Negative posts on hear about buybacks . You can't be doing that

Buybacks going very well 2 more years of this we'll be millionaires longtimeinvester

I can't win with you you in favour of buybacks and worked in the city for 10 years

longtimeinvestor the market controls the share price . not buybacks

The total affect of the buyback when finished will be less than 1/2p when finished .

Buybacks makes no difference to S/P

banks are buying silence on sexual harassment The story from the lawyer in the wine bar goes like this: loads of women who were in relatively senior positions in banks in the Nineties and the Noughties have brought claims for sexual harassment against their former employers. Stuff they let slide back then, out of fear or because it seemed �normal�, they now realise was completely unacceptable and think deserving of monetary compensation. The banks facing the claims, even if they think they are so historical as to be near impossible to prosecute, are terrified. So they make a settlement offer very quickly, attached to a strict non-disclosure clause. https://www.standard.co.uk/business/simon-english-wine-bar-whispers-suggest-banks-are-buying-silence-on-sexual-harassment-a3855616.html

BoE - Banks must show how they can shut down without causing market mayhem Envoyer par e-mail 06/05/2018 | 01:25 pm LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's top banks like HSBC and Barclays will have to show investors how they can be shut without causing mayhem in markets, the Bank of England said on Tuesday. Since a financial crisis that forced taxpayers to bail out lenders, banks have had to comply with rules that make it easier for regulators to wind them up in an orderly way, such as by keeping critical functions like payments going and transferring accounts to another lender. These so-called resolution or "death" plans are drawn up in conjunction with regulators but are not published.

“The Bank of England appears to have a preference to raise interest rates sooner rather than later based on a belief that wage growth will respond to a tight labour market, keeping inflation higher for longer. As such these data releases keep the prospect of an August rate hike firmly on the table. But, if they do indeed go for it, we doubt it will be followed quickly with additional hikes given the economic threats from rising fuel costs, stagnant real wages, Brexit uncertainty and a reluctance amongst firms to invest in the UK.”

Another year going sideways , like a big skidmark
