At about 72.3p some of those bought at under 65p a month ago

Hopefully this time it will be the breakout to much higher valuations

Some for near 160.4p

we all know that the Russian military is weak - there has been a lack of motivation from it's troops when they may not believe (secretly) that there is justification to Putin's action's with on the other hand the brave Ukrainian's do have every motivation and know what they are in battle for.

That is not the point. The point is that an invading Russia should not be allowed to complete Putin's objective -appeasement in Europe a dangerous thing. That is why support for Ukraine has been essential.

unfortunately the government of the day determine how much of someones income and wealth they will take from them and how they will spend it.

Vote Reform - with them in power no more IHT and the income free tax threshold should rise to £20,000.

''Does any body know anything about Lloyds bank ?''

yes the market is valuing the bank currently at only about £43.5 Billion

re 09:43

more what the fck.

It someone wanted to bid for BP offer X amount of money, the bid would be accepted or not accepted - simple.

Shares in treasury have no relevance of what a bidder is willing to pay for the business

''they can change the Articles of Association with Board approval at any point they wish''

any changes to the AoA have to be approved be shareholder - at least 75% i beleive.

''indicate that they wish to sell them to a predator''

crazy statement

''No company is going to cancel shares and then issue new shares to enable a staff incentive scheme''

??

that is what many companies do. Lloyds bank do not hold shares in treasury. There repurchase of shares in buyback programmes are cancelled as soon as the transaction completes, and thus reducing share capital.

New shares are issued by them as and when necessary to fulfil staff schemes, an thus increasing share capital.

''I find it baffling that anyone thinks that buying back large numbers of shares and placing them in Treasury has no impact on the share price or value of the company''

The market cap (valuation) is based on shares in issue which dos not include shares in treasury. If the market maintained/or increased a valuation of a business when shares in issue are being reduced then the price per share would increase.

''they are effectively a legal support operation.''

NO, they are a return to shareholders by way of a reduction of share capital. That is the sole purpose. The market determines the valuation/share price n a daily basis.

''if you could place say 5% of a companies shares in Treasury there is a double effect because a predator does not have this 5% of the company.''

What the fck is this nonsense statement.

''I have no intention of fully explaining how buying shares in the market & placing them in Treasury impacts the share price and value of BP''

thank fck for that as you appear to be a bit clueless.

It is the market that determines the valuation of BP on a daily basis - simple - end of

''With a market capitalisation of £64.57 billion the visible impact of having say £300m held in Treasury shares will be obscured, but that does not mean that the effects on the value of BP do not exist!''

more nonsense.

The market cap is based on the shares in issue. If shares in treasury were sold back into the market then that would mean that any market cap would be based on an increased share count. If the market placed a maintained a valuation, that would mean a reduction in price per share.

''you see no fault in the west. ''

and yet more fabrication, it is endless

Bb

''I'm not making anything up''

you have made many things up against me, with the latest being -

''Lti open his paper reads the story, "it was Russia case closed". ''

BB

''Lti open his paper reads the story, "it was Russia case closed". ''

and YET AGAIN how many times are you going to fabricate?

Have a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself 'why do I keep making things up'

Bb

and YET AGAIN, making things up. What have I posted that I stated as a fact, but isn't?

BB

STOP being the Russian mouthpiece - there are 1,150 Roubles to the pound - getting a Rouble per post simply isn't worth it.

excellent link showing someone saying it as it is - what those of us with any kind of intelligence already knew

''It will be interesting to see what they prioritise going forward…..''

From the BOE site -

''This is our primary monetary policy objective. In practice, this means keeping inflation at 2% over the medium term, which is the target set for us by the Government''

''Can a company cancel shares from the treasury?''

Any company that keeps shares in treasury after buying back in the market, would then later on have options to use them for staff schemes, sell them back into the market or cancel the shares.

A business like Lloyds bank do not hold any shares in treasury, and so in their case new shares would be issued for staff schemes, and shares bought in buyback programmes would be cancelled.

''What pressures do we know about being exerted on Putin from Trump.?

answers on a postcard.''

so that will be NONE then

Equivalent currently to 73.4p

So yet more pressure being exerted on the Ukrainian president, along with the cutting of equipment and intelligence sharing, on top of the previous known pressures.

What pressures do we know about being exerted on Putin from Trump.?

answers on a postcard.

''Made 10% capital gain ''

about the same as me now, after my topping up 6 times on the rise at about the 84-85p range - shame I didn't purchase all my holding at my lowest price of 69p
