''along with buybacks, unlike Lloyds who merely gave 15% uplift in div, a buyback''

time for you to pop another pill.

NWG have a dividend policy to pay out 50% of profits to shareholders by way of dividends.

Lloyds have a progressive dividend policy.

NWG have put £750 million into buybacks which will be the only amount for getting on for 18 months

Lloyds have allocated £1.75 Billion for buybacks for this calendar year , with an option to top up at half year results.

''No wonder Lti never re invested here. He is wise to have backed another horse.''

Why would I be buying at over £1, when I have just made two sales at over £1 this year?

I hold Lloyds shares now at an average of under 10p.

What did you not understand about my Lloyds shares being worth XXX times more than my NWG ?

''which is just marginally more than 3.21p''

more than marginally, and 3.65p is now the historic figure. The current financial years payment will be progressed by a good amount, and the same for the following year and the year after that.

''I would welcome and be very happy if this was the dividend.''

Lloyds could easily afford to pay 7p + per share in dividends

Lloyds have a progressive dividend policy, which has been helped by the purchase and cancellation of about 18.35 Billion shares. Lloyds BOD's have decided that investing large amounts of money to purchase Lloyds shares is still a good thing to do for shareholders keeping shares for the longer term. Many shareholders were not prepared to stay around for the longer term and thus did not get the full benefit of the share buyback programmes when the market valuation re rate came along. Another £1.75 Billion has been allocated to purchase Lloyds shares, with now the option if the BOD wish, to make a top up at half year.

''So I don't blame Lti, but the thing is, he always defends Lloyds blowing a fortune on buybacks and derides more spent on div's, yet he has recently rid himself of many Lloyds shares, and bought into a now 6% paying UK banking stock, instead of this laggard.''

'he may enlighten as to why he sees NWG as a better play than here''

jumping ship? - you have lost the plot

laggard?- you have lost the plot

I had far far too many Lloyds after my many no brainer purchases at low valuations, and still have loads and loads, with a lot more to sell at higher valuations.

I have parked proceeds into other stocks such as SMIF (where I am getting over 8.5% dividend yield) as a way to lock in sales at very much appreciated values.

NWG also do buybacks.

I said when Lloyds was very lowly valued that I didn't mind how low the share price went because that meant a much faster share capital reduction. I have also said that I am happy for the BOD's to decide the best way to make returns to shareholders.

My Lloyds shares are worth XXX times more than my NatWest .

I have to use the spare cash somewhere - I bought NWG simply because it had been about 25% higher not much more than a week prior to my purchase.

Today at about 565.5p - first ever purchase despite having had a NatWest bank account since the age of 16

Today at about 665.5p - first ever purchase despite having had a NatWest bank account since the age of 16

''Which has been held at 6.25p''

?

HFEL pay 4 equal payments per year - this is the 3rd of 4

any change in payment would be from the new cycle - 1st of 4 normally paid in August.

Wrong name - should have been of course -

I shall say again - I have far more LGEN shares than you, and which were bought at lower prices than you bought at.

with hundreds of millions fewer shares now in issue , 300p only equates to about your 280p price prediction from a couple of years ago

Back at about 4311p, those shares sold 8 days ago

New buyback starting.

Unless something significant happens then the next money raise could be at between 1p - 1.5p

Would you shareholders be happy for a rights issue? or would you rather non shareholders as usual putting in the money?

I wonder how long it will be before Met1 investment company try to raise more money.

Will have to wait for reporting to see how the cash balance is looking

It is called a stock market, with prices determined by whatever price investors are prepared to exchange shares at throughout each and every trading day.
