The sales in Canada and France should be completed in the first part of 2024 which most likely will result in a sizeable return of capital to shareholders.

A few at over 662p.

HSBC share price has potential to go up a great deal from here.

HSBC remains my largest holding.

It appears that there a lot of people of here that have comprehension issues due to age/intelligence.

How many more times - the sole purpose of Lloyds share repurchase programmes is to reduce share capital. That is what they have done.

THE MARKET DECIDES ON THE VALUATION OF LLOYDS BANKING GROUP

From HSBC of 2 Billion dollars after excellent half year results.

Shame Lloyds do not have a policy option currently to add to buyback amounts at half year

Excellent

another 2 Billion dollar share buyback - another 10C second quarter dividend

That is now over a £1 per share increase since my purchase of just over 2 months ago - a good rate of progress.

Was about double the current price only about 4 years ago

''500p''

now for £6 , £7 +

64,359,436,417 shares currently - without buybacks there would have been -

75,915,529,160

Currently at about a 4 and half year high - long may the upward momentum continue.

''will be required to justify by the end of August how those rates offer fair value''

A bank is in business to make profits and to maximise as much as possible - that is the justification -profit is not a dirty word.

If I was an individual not happy with what was on offer then i would look elsewhere - there are very high rates of interest available.

The portfolio investment percentage into China had increased in the 6 months to May 2023 from 15.4% yo 23.4% and that in Hong Kong from 6.5% to 9.5%

Not sure that HFEL had much expose to Chinese property on the Covid downturn. They have a good amount in financials though. HFEL have been increasing their exposure to China after the lifting of strict Covid measures, hoping to capture stock before the Chinese economy is back in full swing again.

Correction -

UBS have made a good purchase amount of Lloyds shares in only one day of the last 12 trading days with 9 of them having not bought a single share. The share price hs risen in that period

''Lloyds are the only people buying these shares. If they stop, the SP tanks. Simple as.''

you are obviously clueless regarding the share repurchase programme.

UBS have made a good purchase amount of Lloyds shares in the last 12 trading days with 9 of them having not bought a single share. The share price hs risen in that period.

UBS are a minority purchaser of shares in the market , having an imposed percentage limit.

The market determines the value of LBG , with or without a minority purchaser.

''Those who forget the errors of the past are condemned to repeat them''

I assume that for you to continue to post garbage/errors, you have a bad memory

Capital generation is an unknown for the future. Excess CET1 as far as I can see amounted to about £3 Billion at the half year results date based on your posted 13% target, but as far as I remember the target is 13.5% making it nearer to about £2.25 Billion.

As I said, all you need to know (or any investor) is if profitability is maintained and share numbers are reduced each year then the dividend will be progressed each year.

Personally I am not interested in how much 'excess' capital that lloyds holds at any given time - I am content to see and wait what they are able to continue to deliver regarding increased dividend amounts and share repurchase investments.

Borders

- the boarders (illegal immigrants are already being protected from the weather and hunger in accommodation provided)

''kick out anyone who shouldn't be here, like anyone who's come across the channel in a dingy. ''

Therein highlights the mistake of letting them land. The UK has in law the right to protect our boarders. In the case of these Dinghies that would mean the right to stop them entering English waters and be pushed back to France.

The other mistake is paying France ever increasing amounts of money only for them to let the situation worsen and because of that, being a reason for yet more money extraction.

The answer is LEGALLY PUSHING BACK THE DINGHIES.

''Inflation is going to go down more''

well done with that.

Yes, the inflation story needs to be played out in the coming months by the markets
