Ii is a realistic spin - anyone purchasing now to get the special is paying for it.
Some may think that when the special is paid , the equivalent reduction in share price won't take place - it is called informing the naive and novices.

What did you not understand by ''so anyone buying now '' ?

so anyone buying now is paying an extra 16p + which will then be returned to them by the 'special' - sum gain = 0

Many a true word is spoken in jest

''with the inevitable drop back to 42p. Enjoy the slide back down it won't take long.''

Have you sold yet, or are you waiting for a lower price?

''This is ridiculous; an absolute farce.''

This is ridiculous, as in ridiculously good.

''Fine if you're only holding as a dividend play, many of us have an exit point that we are trying to reach.''

I will always be holding, which will include being at a much higher share price.
In the meantime I am happy for MS to purchase shares at these levels or lower hopefully, with Lloyds bank currently able to produce about £8 Billion a year in underlying profits. The bank has been in a worse situation in the past with the shares at a far higher level than today. Low valuations need taking advantage.

''another dog day ''

I would say that it could be a good day - half year profits and dividend payment now known, with hopefully the continuation of shares being purchased at good prices by MS.

'' I would prefer the share price to remain at a lower level giving 5% + yield and progressing, along with a yearly £2 Billion share purchase programme.

Future earnings are an unknown, but up to each investor to make up their own mind as to what they think earnings may be in the coming years.''

historical full year divi 2p

prospective full year dividend could amount to 2.4p - so you can work it out

triggered at 44.945

No - they have kept the 2.25p of excess capital on the books since Feb 2020 and will keep it there doing nothing forever, just so that some of you have something to moan about forever more.

''The company deciding to use "my" divi for a share buy back, which is yes to my benefit in general terms , was dictated to me and not my choice''

You decided to invest in Lloyds.
You are not in charge of running the business.
The BOD decide what to do with profits.
That is how things work.

P
'' let's not do the "big" to and fro debate over differing view points. I simply have the opinion that the divi which was due and them withheld (suspended) was not returned to those to whom it was due.''

You just have.
Any money (asset) retained in the bank is known by the market. A Shareholder could have sold at any time. The current market price takes into account the 0.8p that has yet to be paid out. The market will take account of this money leaving the bank at XD

''come back antonio with your proper progressive dividend policy unlike these clowns''

The interim dividend has increased to 0.8p

b
they get remuneration - shareholders make an investment with the hope of getting a return.
