Some from about the 103p purchase on 30th April at a tiny fraction below 130p.

EXCELLENT results and very positive outlook.

Still have LOTS and LOTS of shares.

Is firmly UP

Ftse 100 market created another all time high.

Marstons continuing it's upward trend after a little profit taking yesterday (up over 30% since last months purchase.)

Vodafone continuing it's break out on the official launch of a share buyback - well up in just a week.

Good move up for IMB

MS continuing to purchase some of the available cheap Lloyds shares - Need a great deal more weak sellers. Institutions and long term holders happy to see the buyback programme being executed at such low prices . Complaining Investors preferring an alternative investment to Lloyds, could help out MS a little by selling at your earliest convenience.

''The debt wil bringe it backe downe agane sadley''

No logic - debt is reducing - interest rates are more likely to decrease than increase from here.

Vodafone are starting investments which will result in far fewer shares having the right to a piece of the future profitability of the business.

''Interesting to see if this will be ignored on day 1.''

actually not a question of 'ignored' more a question of whether percentage price restrictions will be used or not in the Morgan Stanley algo.

Most algo's would be set up so that the maximum price paid per share would be no more than 5 per cent above the average of the mid price in the five business days preceding a purchase.

Interesting to see if this will be ignored on day 1.

Officially underway today , but would there have been much buying.

Percentage price increase thresholds may have been breached from day 1 ?

After-all the price is now way above the previous 5/20 day average

you appear to be someone with no involvement who has randomly come to the board to spout complete nonsense - and the purpose is?.

'' despite all the major asset disposals''

'' fewer cash generating assets now ''

Vodafone have disposed of non performing assets, and will be investing a good chunk of the proceeds purchasing shares in the remaining performing assets of the business at very attractive starting levels.

Now, run along.

''Sold 23k Lloyds today''

you didn't have any to sell.

You have £500 worth of Metro and a few pounds invested in 'solar'

Just need the buyback programmes now to purchase at very cheap levels.

4 Billion Euro at the current market cap, sure would make a big dent in the number of shares on the market. Time will tell at how low a price holders of shares are willing to give them up at.

''over £7 is very toppy for a bank like HSBC ''

NO, it is still undervalued - it is my largest holding

Lti

''Hopefully buybacks will commence shortly''

only just seen the RNS after getting back home ,that others must have already seen -

''Vodafone now intends to commence an initial €500 million share buyback programme on 15 May 2024, as part of our plans to return €2.0 billion over 12 months''.

good to see it get underway.

''A third of my portfolio now sold and tucked up safely in a cash ISA,''

why are you still here.

You can now enjoy your 12 month income of 4.5 -5% on your cash along with Brix waiting for his average 4% after a year.

In the meantime , there are those of us who prefer something a little bit more interesting.

Finally arrived - now something to see.

Hopefully buybacks will commence shortly - June?

Vodafone breaking out to the upside from a several month range on results.

HSBC moving above £7 after xd returns to shareholders of 2 X 31 cents.

Saga having another up move following on from yesterday.

MS having cheap Lloyds shares available to purchase

HSBC over £7 after the recent 2 X 31 cents returns to shareholders.

Still undervalued at these levels

Complete nonsense

more realistic expectations are better to avoid disappointment , but I wouldn't complain with Lloyds maintaining profitability and at the same time having ever decreasing market caps to make your dreams of share reductions a reality.

''Looks like a gd day to pick up a few MARS''

is it? - time will tell - currently given up a little of a weeks big gain on results day.

More than happy to have made a sub 27p purchase on 4th April

''Total voting rights projection?''

plucked out of thin air, which by the looks of it would required an extremely low and increasingly so Lloyds market valuation.

I have already mentioned - buybacks should in future be looked at in terms of the percentage of shares in issue at the start of a programme that have been managed to be purchased and cancelled .

I would suggest that a 6% figure would be a good result for long term shareholders.

There is no reason to expect that buybacks will always be a priority - that would be determined by the BOD's view as to whether they still represent an investment in assets at very attractive (undervalued) levels or not.
