There has been zero shares purchased on the London stock exchange so far this week.
Algo cannot be in operation - plenty of shares were available to purchase on the London exchange at the same price (45.7p) as the 12 were purchased at on the BATE exchange.

''I think that the SP has to be below the weighted average SP for the algo to buy the shares.''

??
The algo would most likely not buy if the share price is more than 5% above
the average price of the previous 5 days - which could result in days of zero buying. I cannot see any automated reason for low purchases recently

The recent very low purchase amounts, I cannot see fit into any cafeteria.

The parameter has clearly changed, going possibly as far as disabling auto pilot completely in favour of a manual purchase of a few shares to show continuance .

have you sold your shares yet?

''It just doesn't really happen. 475p should be our medium term target. 600p is ludicrous in the shorter term.''

BP currently is not expensive at 413p - 3.5% of shares will be cancelled in the next 3 months. Continuing buying at that rate and maintaining today's market cap, it wouldn't take too long to reach 600p per share.

at 271p

''For a bank I find it both amateurish and worrying''

Cannot understand this statement. Lloyds implemented a share investment programme to purchase and remove shares from the market with a deadline at the end of 2022 - that is what is taking place.

The 2018 programme had a daily average purchase level of 13.37 million shares.
The 2019 programme had a daily average purchase level of 14.4 million shares .
This years programme currently has a daily average purchase level of 30.47 million shares.
Where does ''amateurish and worrying'' come into it.
It is clear by recent purchase levels that parameters can easily be changed, but as I have said, more than zero bought to show the programme has not been terminated.
Shares go XD tomorrow (0.8p)

Buybacks and a final dividend are approved by shareholders

''cutting the dividend like a disgraceful management.''

It was cut a couple of years ago for the first time in 75 years - That was an absolutely outstanding record.
I am sure that Shell would like to go another 75 years without a cut - many investors keeping for the very long term would welcome a steady progression in returns in the coming years.

About a further 3.5% of shares will disappear in the coming 3 months

It would be good for many HSBC pensioners if they could give a discretionary increase above the normal 5% maximum - but I doubt it will happen.

now some help for their workers.

''Some staff will need more support to avoid financial hardship in the coming months due to the impact of 40-year high inflation, that is still yet to peak, and the soaring cost of energy, the bank said.''

''Ian Wood, oil is running out - a lie''

How low can your level of stupidity go?
As the worlds oil is extracted, it is running out - there is a finite amount of it.

''David Cameron Vote No to stay in Europe ''

Here we go again - it was NOT a lie - idiot

The UK was a member of the EU in 2014 not Scotland. The only way in 2014 for Scotland to be part of the EU was via the UK.

''Some enlightened person please tell me why buy back 25 shares. Or am I missing something?''

better than zero where some may think that the programme has been terminated

''Have you tried downloading the NSI prize checker app and buying more bonds through that ?''

I have the app, that is how I check prizes, as I did last night.
I have had the maximum allowed for years.

''I have found it impossible to even log in to the NS&I site, some new security system''

Yes, nor me - needs a 6 digit pin, but won't accept the setting up of the pin

a week ago

I thought that I would sign into my NS& I account about a week to see if i can be bothered to move some cash in. Extra security requires a 6 digit pin to be set up.
I tried a number of times to set up the pin but their system rejected everyone.
Anyone else had the same problem (I followed the guidance about numbering as well) ?
