''yes..it is probably the Market Makers..

The Market Makers are making the most of it''

FFS someone else who needs to educate themselves - MM's would be very rarely involved.

BP shares are matched on the SETS system - END OF

Willy

stop embarrassing yourself, What the fk are you talking about mislabeling for.

''but our asset value is improving''

is it? - cash is being burned every day

Wily

''Oh please - the other day - there were FIFTY PERCENT MORE BUYS THAN SELLS - and you think that was all due to mislabelled buys and sells?

An education is indeed required''

mislabeled - what?

Yes that is what i have already said - you need to educate yourself.

Not only have you failed to do so, your reply also makes you stupid, not able to comprehend.

Let me make it very simple for you -

If a share had a mid price of 100p and a matched trade went through at 99p that would be classed as a sale. Then if the next 5 matched trades went through at 101p they would all be flagged as buys. If the next match was at 102p then that would be a buy, and the next match at 101p a sale etc etc etc - understand? Maybe you should look at the trades at the top throughout a trading day (tomorrow) for you to get a better understanding.

''What debacle was that Learningtoinvest? ''

That is obvious - the embarrassment suffered by gamblers after being duped into pushing the share price beyond 50p giving warrant holders enormous profits, and then realisiing their mistake all too late.

I believe you were one of those JB, paying about 15 times the current price. Now you say that you having many tens of thousands invested in Met1 investment company getting no returns.

Personally I would prefer to invest that money into something paying an 8% yield paid monthly where the monthly income could purchase Met1 shares .

''I tend to agree LTI''

you are confusing JB referring to 'learn' as lti

Wily

''why the big discrepancy between Buys and sells?

Can you show me one of those FTSE 100 shares that show equal B/S's on a daily basis?''

you need to educate yourself - a matched trade is flagged as a 'sell' or 'buy' simply based on the price in comparison to a previous matched price - if lower it is flagged as a sell, if higher a buy

''LTI , it's called a trailing stop loss.''

Lloyds has reached over 114.6p

A 10% trailing stop loss would have been triggered making you a non shareholder, if you ever was in the first place.

It has already been demonstrated that you have no credibility, so as such any mention from you that you have bought with or without a stop loss or sold and stating purchase amounts can be completely dismissed.

You are here for one thing only - disruption.

Another one who needs think/research before posting.

Shares purchased in a buyback programme are no different to any other purchase, with shareholders gaining a return due to the reduced share capital. Shares going into treasury first is irrelevant to the eventual returns/benefits to shareholders. 3 things that can be done once in treasury - First of all shares could be sold back into the market which would only be done at a greater price than what was paid and in addition capital was needed. 2nd to be used for staff schemes and third cancelled.

If X amount are used for staff schemes and Y cancelled, then that is exactly the same as if X+Y had been cancelled because if they had all been cancelled immediately instead of going into treasury first , then X amount of new shares would need to issued for staff schemes in any case, so therefore X+Y shares fewer shares than there would otherwise. have been.

Wily

''to suggest that every share sold today - across all FTSE100 companies - is balanced by a corresponding buy is naïve - that's why we need MMs''

try thinking before posting. FTSE stocks which are highly liquid and are virtually all traded on a matched basis on the SETS system with no market maker involvement.

Even when liquidity is needed on less liquid stocks ,then MM's will be buying/selling, so a sale to them is still a corresponding buy even if the purchase isn't directly from another investor.

''once we get different sites mining etc this stock will fly''

the current valuation says what the market thinks

HG

''Oh I'm holding all right. Pay attention LTI...''

I am paying attention - you had a stop loss which would have been triggered

Wolf

BP have decided to put money allocated to the purchase of BP shares to a different use, which currently in the BOD view, is a better use. Dividend yields/total shareholder returns do not determine the valuation of a business.

Chan

''As far as I could see they were giving the SP zero lift over the years. 1% in buy backs should directly increase the value of existing shares by the same. ''

buybacks are a return to shareholders, Buybacks do not determine a market cap valuation.

The purpose is to reduce share capital.

The price per share with buybacks for eventual cancellation will only go up if the market doesn't give a market cap valuation decrease greater than the percentage reduction in share capital

Tung

''That’s why the reaction''

No - market reaction is purely down to results disclosure - as is often the case, unless you beat market expectations a fall back if quite often the consequence. Investors need to decide at what level it will settle at. on which to build upon.

An immediate about 10% paper loss with a purchase

Sell 1.851p

Buy 2.049p

Large spread - need a sizable move upward just to be able to sell and get money back

HG

still disrupting then - even though you are not holding Lloyds shares
