Will start with a Lloyds banking group market valuation at about £27.5 Billion

Should be another good one

''If this coup works out''

what coup?

Suddenly hitting ticket prices for Russian visa free travel destinations

All I know is that on a current maintained level of profitability Lloyds can afford a 12% annual return however they choose to do that,based on the current share price.

I haven't got a crystal ball.

Better to look at the true figures - half year 2023 figures are next month

As at 23rd June - 64,961,222,997

without buybacks there would have been 75,977,264,733

At this stage reaching 4.3 Billion must be over a 50% chance - of course the share price could make a currently unexpected big bounce in share price, but cannot see what would cause that before half year results at the earliest.

Nu

roughly, the rest of the money needs to purchase shares at an average of about 50p in order to have 4.2 Billion cancelled.

The way things are going the share price may not even have reached 50p by the end of the buyback let alone be an average price from now until the buyback completion

''The way the algorithum is working a 4.2bn share cancellation isn't unfeasable''

I would think that it is at least 80% certain

''and would see the price above 50p''

??

Lloyds down

BT down

Glaxo up

BAT up

UBS driver should have had another great day - they are now aiming to reach 4.2 Billion +

Removing 4 Billion + shares each year would eventually make the price per share fly.

12% annual returns to shareholders at the current price is a bit more than nothing

''and in pops HMG to screw the investor over.''

complete nonsense - there may be a bit of political capital, but Lloyds would have had a bit of flexibility for mortgage holders in any case.

As for screwing the investor, it is the opposite. The longer someone has a loan for the more money made on that loan . Credit card companies love customers who pay the minimum amount each month - same principal for someone switching to interest only on a mortgage.

Not for me

At under 127p - shares that I sold at 150p

many countries around the world had restrictions. Those restrictions along with the vaccines that came along, have saved many millions of lives - you cannot put a price on that.

Inflation has become a lot worse with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Inflation is something that needs dealing with rather than people moaning about it.

''It does nothing for investor confidence when even Lloyds dont buy their own shares back''

''That is exactly the point for the last few months AND THEY ARE STILL BUYING THEM BACK AT SUCH A SLOW RATE.''

This once again highlights your ignorance

''I have not made a single penny profit ''

obviously in my books - profits of course calculated differently for taxman/capital gains purposes

GG

This is after about 25 years - have made many many trades in that time.

I have not made a single penny profit until capital outflow minus capital inflow becomes a negative number
