''that got roped in''

no one is forced to purchase shares

'' then 23p is still on the cards.''

why would that be?

'' Fingers crossed another contract for our NEXT leader on the same basis as the AHO contract will see me able to afford a decent funeral.''

The CEO does not control a share price. You may have to find alternatives for you funeral arrangements.

In the meantime you will have to put up with double digit returns that Lloyds are currently able to provide at today's share price.

Certain people like to turn a blind eye to such things - it goes against what they have previously posted , moaning about directors not buying 'this dog' etc etc

Cook

it is no good you spouting off even more nonsense in order to COVER UP YOUR LIES

Why do you think you are able to speak for others, suggesting that they were also lying when they had posted that they had sold?

MP

you are in need of a re base.

We had a pandemic with a new CEO coming in with a progressive dividend policy and a currently a preference for buybacks .

Lloyds are currently making double digit returns to shareholders.

2019 had a buyback of a little over £1 Billion

2013 dividend - Zero

P51

there is no limit in price - MS will spend £2 Billion on shares at whatever price that they are available at.

Cook

''which was we had sold''

so now you speak for others as well, suggesting that when several others posted that they had sold, that they also were lying.

Cook

''taken the bait''

what you mean is that you were trying to cover up a LIE after the event, or maybe you did sell and the lie is now pretending you didn't to cover the disappointment of seeing an increased share price.

I am afraid that people like you and Brix etc make it impossible to believe anything you post in black and white.

Del

''in reality it's flat due the buy back.''

NO, the dividend distribution has not been flat

'' It's a clever way of showing an increasing dividend without paying more out.''

the dividend distribution has been increased

Cook

''if the 4 billion in buy backs had not taken place ''

then the price per share would be a lot lower

Cook

why are you still here?

Cook

why are you still hear.? .

'',as soon as ex divi it will be interesting how much this drops i will be putting sell order in @42p if it stays that high by then''

it is currently over 46p

you are as mad as a hatter - you had already posted that you had sold.

NC

your record is stuck in the same place as a previous at least 50 times - it needs another nudge.

How many years will it take you or anyone else to get back the cost of each of your shares?

''to pretend that Lloyds have increased the dividend, BUT ONLY because 'they' using OUR cash have bought back more shares''

?? - you are one crazy women.

Buybacks for cancellation are a return to shareholders, increasing certain metrics - I can assure you that the dividend HAS been increased, they are not pretending.

I expect most shareholders would know that they would get a greater total dividend payment by using more of their cash to purchase more shares. Buybacks do this for them by increasing the percentage ownership that each remaining share has .

MP

''I know exactly what I get ''

That answers my question - you DO have age related memory problems but don't know it

MP

''are you getting something different??''

I get the same as every other shareholder on a per share basis.

Question - Have you age related memory problems or do you not remember whether you have or not?

''so in real terms ''

How much is the total 2023 returns compared with 2014?

Mm64

'' being hoodwinked ''

Lloyds are making double digit returns to shareholders - no one should be complaining

Mm64

''so in real terms ''

if you think that a businesses profits and returns to shareholders should go up with inflation, then think again. I think you will find that the rate of interest paid on cash does not increase with inflation.

Investing in shares in the long term with the benefit of compounding is a good hedge against inflation

''Buybacks only benefit staff bonuses ''

here we go yet again - they keep coming out of the woodwork - clueless.

Need a lot more shareholders willing to sell - not enough at the moment for the share price not to increase - now getting close to JCB's sell out price.

1. HMG pumped in over £20 Billion taking a 43% stake - current market cap less than £30 Billion

2. 0.605 Lloyds TSB shares for every one HBOS share
