By Lloyds, tucking away a good sum of money into provisions, just in case mortgage holders default on their payments.

We have a tight labour market - with that in mind and the fact that mortgage holders should prioritise their mortgage, hopefully the amount tucked away will not all be required.

''really. honestly you haven't got a clue, you are just a mindless ramper.

With 86% ownership of the shares, Lloyds Banking Group plc (LON:LLOY) is heavily dominated by institutional owners''

and?

''your being lied to.'''

you appear to be having problems again today - what lie would that be?

The dividends that investors will receive has increased 15% over last years payment

Correct

''the dividend was increased 20% last year and this year is on track for a further 15% increase. The buybacks help in supporting the increase in dividends per shares.''

''Only plus side I can see from todays results is the provisions''

strange.

I could see the plus of £3.9 Billion of pre tax profits coming into the coffers and the plus of a 15% dividend increase, and the plus of forward profitability being on course to afford another substantial 2024 share repurchase programme

'' What were people expecting exactly? ''

many people simply like moaning, no matter how good the profitability of Lloyds is, and the good increase in dividend again.

Yes, another good day - pre-tax profits of £3.9bn in the first half compared with £3.1bn pre-tax profit in the same period last year.

I don't do breakdowns - you on the other hand .....

Good to see Lloyds puttying aside further provisions (that may not be needed)

in order to mislead the market on profitability - every little helps when trying to reduce the share count

I imagine they do not include your dividends or your day trading profits, so it is only you who knows '''once I see blue I’m gone !''

''bank that will just die out like the bricks and mortar department stores that refused to move with the times''

really? - had you not noticed bank branch closures?

total voting rights will tell you how many shares are on the market at the end of each month - simple

'' I’m not too far off break even when I add up the day trading profits and cumulative dividends but I’m about £3500 down on paper according to Hargreaves Lansdown.''

which one is it?

you need to know so that ''once I see blue I’m gone !''

''more than happy to be corrected if I am missing something ....''

''yes I am serious.''

that is what i thought - a continuation of your misconceptions.

The market determines the value of LBG

Nh

''today 67 billion''

No - it is nearer 64 Billion

''they prefer buybacks and don't reward through dividends''

the dividend was increased 20% last year and this year is on track for a further 15% increase. The buybacks help in supporting the increase in dividends per shares.

Ez

''Fortunately I don’t have a huge amount invested here and I can afford to be patient''

If I were in that situation, I would be investing another not huge amount to take advantage of double digit returns that Lloyds is currently able to afford, but you obviously have alternative ideas to that

Ww

argue? how did you come to that conclusion?

JCB has stated at what price he is getting out out. You on the other hand ''will be taking every chance to get out of this share''.

What is that supposed to mean to someone reading that?

DT

''are you serious? the buybacks had supported the SP.. .''

are you serious?. - the market determines the value of LBG, not a buyback.

Early mark down attracting some buyers (including UBS?)
