''it will take TWENTY years ''

What would your return or any investors return be after 20 years when purchasing a share at £1 and yielding 5% ?

Lloyds is not saving money on share buybacks, it allows shareholders to increase their percentage stake and at the same time allows profits allocated to dividends to go to fewer shares. Amount of dividend allocated is determined by profitability/dividend policy and not by the number of shares in issue.

A buyback each would have the ability help to have increased dividends on flat earnings, and thereby increasing the yield from a 5% base for those purchasing today. 10 years of £2 Billion buybacks = $20 Billion. Current market cap about £35 Billion.

''can you add how much dividend money we saved as well to your Stats ?''

as i said last year, totally pointless supposed 'saving stat'.
Lloyds has cancelled 8 Billion shares in recent years, meaning the amount of money allocated to dividends has had to be spread between fewer shares.

I think you purchased a few times since in the 30's or just over 40p?

''Its like a never ending story here with my 63p buy in December 2019''

part of the story being that for known reasons you have been able to purchase more shares since at much lower prices.

BT went well.
BP and SHELL continue to gobble up the shares with Lloyds doing the same so that the share count will reduce by a good amount again this year.
My supermarkets Tesco and Sainsbury having a good day.

BT now recovering OK since recent lows

''They obviously had their own reasons to free up around £2 Million in cash.''

yes, and?
I for one am not interested in what others want to do with their money.
They can blow it all at the casino if they like or something more sensible like I will be doing at some point, give it away.

end of tax year coming up. For some of you there may be beneficial things to do before that regarding taking capital gains/crystallising losses against gains.

Also of course time is running out for those who would benefit from NI top ups. Until the end of this tax year, you can top up about 16 years worth. Always best to check your state pension forecast position first though. Despite only having 30 years NI contributions my forecast statement was above the new state pension maximum.

recent? - it doesn't matter when the shares were first obtained.

Just one example.

He had previously transferred some of his stock to his wife

not much relevance to most observers - just cashing in of some remuneration from matured share schemes I imagine

what has that got to do with supermarkets food stories?

what has the subject/story of food shortages got to do with nwg?

your portfolio value as a result may be over £x,xxx now

after selling most at over £3 before the 207p purchase

added a bit to my portfolio value - well done Tescos

My Tesco shares are going well since my purchase at 207p

Good name to have as a food minister - Mark Spencer.

btw you will not starve to death - had no problem with my normal order from Tesco which included tomatoes,cucumber, peppers

don't forget the very long queues at Dover and petrol running out sagas.
Wonder what will be next

Yes exactly - it becomes tedious
