Also at an all time share price high - also still not expensive based on a projected low forward 2027 p/e ratio -

but as we know the market will determine the future levels of Lloyds and the ftse, which has in the past resulted in very cheap valuations despite low p/e ratios.

Has reached a record high (currently close to 9.800), but as I said quite a while ago, 10,000 wouldn't be expensive.

'' Our world has become reliant on cables and programmes which by and large we can control and protect although as we know bad actors can cause huge problems.''

Bad actors wouldn't be able to cause problems within systems where the security programs within, along with hardware security were robust enough, but unfortunately that has not been the case within many companies. It is a constant battle defending against criminal cyber attacks. So many total scum individuals in the world along with state sponsored hacking attempts.

you were suggesting that people should be selling out of Lloyds when the share price was 40% lower

What we do know is that about 25% of working age people are not working, and many many more get benefits on top of a working salary - when is a government going to have the backbone to deal with the out of control benefits bill ,otherwise it is a continuation of a tax raising/debt spiral, Not good for the UK not good for Lloyds in the longer term.

It is now over 2 years since my last purchase of Lloyds shares - on the 25th Oct 2023 at under 40p -

those were the days - the years of being able to purchase very cheaply.

''But being a long term holder too, I guess he knows it will likely come crashing back down once rumours,.......'

Obviously and unfortunately I do not know. I only take what the market offers me at various valuation levels.

I would have preferred a 40-45p price range for several more years so that buyback investments would have taken a lot more shares out of circulation

'' the pitiful yield ''

You like anyone else had the opportunity to purchase shares at VERY low prices and make sales at high prices as well.

My personal dividend yield on the projected total 2025 payments is over 27%.

Your 2025 dividend yield will be over 6% - and of course we have been getting further returns by way of share buybacks, which means that a share price of getting on for 110p is required to better the market cap from 2015 with a peak share price share of about 89p

''I bought in two decades ago''

To have a buying price of 59p, you would not have invested 20 years ago, as a one off purchase?. That would not equate to 59p from investments in HBOS or/and Lloyds TSB?.

You must have bought a small amount then, followed further by larger amounts after the formation of Lloyds banking group in subsequent years to have a price as low as 59p?

''Lloyds are simply adding to the Uk housing crisis, with unsustainable housing benefits. Formerly working families claiming to now be “ill” and needing free social security''

and YET MORE - when are you going to get it into your stupid head? - Lloyds bank ARE NOT responsible for the policies of UK governments. Benefit levels are down to government - do you understand?

''Now we’ve been heavily invaded by foreigners, Lloyds ''

This is getting very tiresome.

YET AGAIN - Lloyds banking group have nothing to do with the millions of Aliens allowed to flood into England by successive UK governments. Blair opened the floodgates when there was no obligation to do so, and it has carried on ever since. DO NOT link Lloyds bank with the chosen policies of governments .

Not everyone wants to, or can afford to buy a property.

''with all the new 'challenger' banks, and with no Highstreet outlets''

Lloyds could purchase the recently floated Shawbrook bank instead of a 2026 investment programme in Lloyds shares.

on another matter -It really pizzes me off when sites highlight misspelt words when they are not - typo's are one thing but telling you that the correct spelling is the American version for words is another.

AI/spell checker - it is 'programme' OK ffs- and this site is a co.uk as well.

High of about 130p currently 1.75p

all too familiar

''The FTSE has had a great run ''

It has been very lowly valued for many years

''not have to worry about 'the crash', be it tomorrow or in 2 years time.''

The ftse 100 is cheap still in comparison to the US

''I'm entirely in cash''

I still only hold a small percentage cash
