£1.85p

Lloyds continuing it's strong run (don't mind a pull back for 2023 share purchase programme).

HSBC breaking the £6 level

but my highlight is 3I Group (iii) up nearly 9%, closing near £16 for a new all time closing high.
I bought into 3I Group at about 185p.
I would have bought near the 52 week lows but unfortunately for some strange reason, HSBC
are no longer allowing the purchase of 3I Group shares

''52p on the horizon''

currently in the rear view mirror

a few more at a little over 602p

there is not much 'hope' involved.

Maybe a 2023 interim of 0.9p and 1.8p final for 2.7p total

sb
2021 total dividend was 2p

2022 total dividend will be at least 2.4p

Lloyds currently about 20% higher than the 2022 buyback price.

Therefore I would like to see an increased 2023 buyback amount of £2.5 Billion

Excellent - currently trading at a new all time high

More of the same from you - never ending

ev
''to help offset staff share awards..''

that is obviously a joke

G10k

Minimum 1.6p final dividend
1 in 5 chance of an extra small special.
Excellent chance of further share buybacks

are you aware that businesses borrow money from banks for investment in their services .

If you would like to see much higher debt figures, look at Vodafone.

''high level is £721M debt''

The two new cruise ships would have cost the large part of that.
Money will also be raised by the forthcoming insurance asset sale.

Falky waiting for 37p ?

''Or skilful.''

If I used dividends to reduce the capital cost of shares as CHIPS has said he does, then my shares would be totally free now.

''who is still holding from sub 60p ?''

I bought at under 60p and a further 4 times prior to that under £1 - unfortunately despite that, Centrica remains just about the worst stock in my portfolio against capital cost, although I did get good dividends in years past. Still need a lot more improvement in share price.

yes it has but the article does not follow.

materially higher
£1.8 Billion each year
£2 Billion same as last year

needs to announce a further £1 Billion provision next month to keep the share price down for another buyback

RE: What is the appeal of HFEL?1 Nov '22
China is sliding into the (dreaded) middle-income trap and looks less and less likely to overtake the US as the world's biggest economy before 2050. Manufacturing is fleeing China for India, Vietnam, etc. The Ren is weakening and nowhere near being a global reserve currency like the dollar. China headwinds are growing.
HFEL share price has plunged -35% in the past 5 years.
In no way at all can HFEL be described as a good or "not bad" investment.''''

''A takeover is probably the best option for Tesco. It just doesn't seem to have the skills to beat the bigger or more efficient rivals from Germany and America. Sell up to maybe Aldi or Suning, perhaps Amazon.''

Appears to be a pattern of you commentating on companies that I am invested in. Good to see my investments going well after each occasion.
Maybe you could put the boot into more of my investments to give them a greater boost in share price.

'' the share price has plunged -25% in 9 years. Where's the good news?''

We had been in a very low rate environment for a decade

I have drip fed money into this since starting several months ago (anticipating possible further declines),which had already at my first tranche stage been affected by rising long term bond yields. I have bought down to 70p.

Share price recovery from the low, with long term bond yields peaking.
