''shares added to dilute the s.p a little more.

'Every little harms' ''

The vast majority are shares that employees have saved and paid for meaning money going into the Lloyds coffers. The minority are share incentive plans, such as employees able to purchase shares from pre taxed income etc

''What do you make of the buy to sell ratio today''

Take no notice - I made 2 purchases of SMIF on Friday - One was highlighted as being a sale and the other 'unknown'.

'' and the uncrossing trade which I have never seen so large at around qtr of a million shares?''

you quite often get a large number exchanged in the end of day auction - many bigger players cannot be bothered with multiple smaller trades during normal trading times and chance their arm in the auction.

''IF I had placed the sum I stupidly invested in Lloyds into iii, which I bought at a similar time, I would have well over a million and a half''

If I had not stupidly sold 75% of my 3i Group by the time it got to 615p they would now be valued at over £733,000 (without dividend reinvestment).

If I had invested all my money into 3i Group (apart from several other stocks), then my portfolio would be worth ????? (a vast amount)

Hindsight investing is the easiest

3i Group well up reaching yet another all time high

BATS reached another 52 week high

BT reached another 52 week high

HSBC reached another 5 year high

IMB reached another 5 year high

MTRO bank well up to yet another 52 week high

LLOY still with a low valuation of about £33 Billion

''Would the Tory and Reform vote still be split letting Labour in again?''

People have seen how many votes REFORM got and so will now conclude it would no longer be a wasted vote - without a Tory party much closer to REFORM's stance on immigration which can be believed (the Tories had failed the country abysmally on that matter, so hard to trust in future) then the sensible thing would be to continuing the switch from conservatives to proper Conservatives.

Now 2,231,947 - not bad in such a short time

''It's in my posts several times ''

Yes I have seen a number of times you posting that you had bought x,y and z companies in yyyy, yyyy and yyyy but I asked about pointing me to the post at the time of you making ''NWG purchase @ £1.09 in covid.''

Brix

'' NWG purchase @ £1.09 in covid.''

I said ''Must have missed that post - could you direct me to it''

Brix

'' NWG purchase @ £1.09 in covid.''

Must have missed that post - could you direct me to it

Brix

''be obsessed........with me''

you are deluded - I have simply pointed out the fact that had you not got rid of your £500 investment, you would been at about a £1,000 paper profit.

Enjoy watching your cash balance each day

Brix

''i'd be under . Am still all cash''

shame you got rid of your £500 investment - enjoy the excitement of looking at your cash balance figure each day.

''chucking their toys out of their pram''

You have done that for over 8 years and 2TK wanted another vote, campaigning for a 'peoples vote' which YOU said 300 + times would take place and look forward to, whilst waving your red flag.

''Rethink IHT on pensions, AJ Bell CEO tells chancellor''

Yes there should be a rethink - IHT should be scrapped completely

GS

''I was going to come on here this morning and apologise for some of my language yesterday, which was inappropriate.''

''What I find is a libellous statement from LTI regarding how I fund our Bolivian charity:''

maybe you should apologise for that as well.

I think you will find that i asked a question, NOT make a statement.

well?

''Conservatives ran down the economy''

and there was me thinking that that the economy was on the up after a difficult pandemic/war in Europe period, with inflation and unemployment down

.

Good job then that we have the Socialists now ? the depressing list after only several months is getting longer

NC

''thus ensuring a supressed share price for months UNIL the courts decisions goes against, and then a massive plunge downwards, as with both hitting us, imo, div's will be ended ''

being such a great soothsayer you need to be reminded again that you have a SELL button

NC

''I clearly know the AMOUNT allocated to dividends is not determined by the share price, BUT the YEILD is.''

??

then why your -

''it is better' for them to see the 'market' keeping the shareprice low, as then, the board can still pay out lowly sums'' ?

which got the appropriate response.

The sums paid out are determined by profitability and policy - the dividend was increased substantially even when the share price was as about 40p, which makes your above comment complete NONSENSE - NO misinterpretation.

''This drop, caused by mismanagement''

'' what a useless board of directors we have perhaps corrupt,'

once again - WHO on the BOD is guilty of mismanagement, and how has

' a useless board of directors we have perhaps corrupt' manifest itself .

''dragging the share price ever lower, due to the board taking it's eyes off the ball and allowing the FSA rules to be broken''

WHO on the BOD's allowed 'rules' to be broken ?

''the board can pay out the 'same' div sum, but due to a much lower s.p...''

and yet again - the sum paid out in dividends is determined by profitability and policy, NOT a share price.

''those Lth with higher averages are at far lower 'returns' on their invested money than those buying in when the share price drops''

an individual investor can decide at what price levels to make further purchases - some do NOTHING.

''DUE to mismanagement''

WHO on the BOD's is responsible for the market's valuation of Lloyds Bank due to 'mismanagement' ?

''Won't post anymore on this''

''with deliberately ' mis understood' replies''

NO it is very EASY to understand what you have written, which makes it easy over and over again to give the appropriate replies.

''Call me old fashioned but isn’t 378,000 more popular than 47,500 ?''

now over 734,000 after a few days as opposed to under 50,000 in about a month - some people .

''the usual fools will relish the lowly market valuations to top up, average down''

some investors may decide to average down -

some investors may decide to average up -

and some investors may decide to do the same over and over again - NOTHING

''so as to never admit what a useless board of directors we have perhaps corrupt, and whatever the Gov's lap dogs.''

How does the 'useless board of directors and perhaps corrupt' manifest itself ?

. The BOD' are mainly made up of independents. I think that there are only two executive members.

Once again, HMG do not control Lloyds banking group.

HMG have the power to impose levels of taxation on corporate's and smaller businesses.

''They care nothing for shareholders for to them, it matters not who owns the shares ''

They care about their jobs, which means doing their best for the business and shareholders.

The CEO answers to the board and shareholders - the board can sack the CEO.

Shareholders can get rid of board members.

''it is better' for them to see the 'market' keeping the shareprice low, as then, the board can still pay out lowly sums whilst still keeping the yield attractive''

You have lost the plot - yet again how many times? - the amount allocated to dividends is NOT determined by the level of the share price.

''to entice new 'fools' to buy''

It is not the job of the BOD's to 'entice' people to invest in Lloyds with a low valuation that is out of their control . The market decides the valuation of Lloyds, and it is investors who who decide whether or not to invest.

''IF the share price had doubled the yield IF paying the same sum out would be half, lessening the 'attraction' to buyers.''

You are having a bad time - how would the share price have doubled without the 'attraction to buyers' ?

''Thus they can squander more profits on what the 'board' want, without upping the sum given to us, other than a token gesture''

Once again - You have seriously lost the plot.

Lloyds currently have a progressive dividend policy in place and a policy preference of excess capital being returned to shareholders by way of buybacks.

''Lti, please don't 'bother' trying to diss my 'understanding' of the yield/s.p/and board''.

You would have done that all by yourself without further help.

''the person inheriting is taxed ''

As I have said, your name suits

IHT is on the estate of someone who has died - NOTHING to do with taxing recipients of monies left over after HMG stealing a chunk first.

I have paid top rate tax most of my life - I resent having ANY of MY net income, which has been carefully invested so as to make myself not to be a burden to the UK plc finances. taxed AGAIN at 40%.

It would be MY assets that is taxed.
