''Not sure what to think of lloyds SP right now.''
Excellent for share reductions

''today's drop of circa 4.5% wipes put a whole years divy...''

NO - shareholders will still receive dividends in 2023 - they may be progressed to 0.9p plus 1.8p

kit
were you not aware of high inflation - some people having to reduce deposits to pay for increased prices - nothing surprising and represented a very tiny reduction in deposits.

''in that sense Lloyds is losing money''

Lloyds Q1 results speak for themselves

''The c£2bn drop in deposits may be the issue for the drag on the share price''

NO

''to try and persuade the FED to pause interest rate rises''

US rate increase today
UK rate increase next week

very good performance in Q1

The sun is out - UBS very busy today making a great deal of hay

''Interim 1p + final 2p = 3p total''

Always best just to expect 0.9p and 1.8p for 2023 - that way it will save a year of moaning.

''There will be a new 'real deal'''

but not at the days bottom unfortunately, but nevertheless can expect a good forward yield on it, and maybe a capital improvement in 2023.

''''I wonder who was the person to suggest 'sell in May'''

Whoever it was in 2022, I took no notice, continuing to pull in large dividend amounts and picking up plenty of further investments at good prices.

''those in the know, know what we don't yet know, but soon will.''

There is plenty that you do not know, and I am not sure that you will ever know.

let us hope that we have heard the last from the moaners about Lloyds having the capital strength for investments in Lloyds shares and considerable pension contributions that have made future contributions much less of a burden on profitability.

The UK have trade deal with the EU - if it can be approved in the future for the benefit of both parties it will be.

You will not live to see the UK joining the EU, going back to being controlled by Brussels and paying for the 'privilege' and of course having to have the Euro as our currency.

HSBC - Good Q1 results - 10 cents Q1 dividend - May be 50 cents in total for 2023

BP - Good Q1 results - market being obliging in helping to make the announced new buyback fund to go further.

UBS driver continuing to have plenty more under 50's available to pick up.
Should have plenty of change from £1 Billion after the purchase of 2 Billion shares

''The world as I 'suggested' is out to ruin the UK ''

Your mind is racing again.

'' to do 'some sort' of deal with the EU''

We have already got a deal with the EU.
You will not see the UK being a paying member.

Could be 3X10 cents plus final which used to be double the first three.
So total for 2023 could be 50 cents.

Also don't forget a large return may be made when the sale of the Canadian operations is completed.

''another windfall tax''

BP already pay an extremely high rate of tax on it's UK operations.
They would have contributed over a half Billion pounds to HMRC in the Quarter.

''I agree with you on the dividend point. They should raise the dividend materially.''

Q1 2023 was about 20% higher than Q1 2022
