''actual returns 4.43%. stop massaging the numbers''

''and Lloyds is returning £2bn to shareholders in a share buyback''
Market cap is under £32 Billion - what percentage is being bought ST?
No wonder you are a broke naive investor

Nothing wrong with my mind.
What is the connection between you stating that you are not selling until a certain specific date and reminding you that you have a sell button to use at anytime, and so do not have to wait?

Very naive investor to say that they are selling on the last day of the year, no matter what. No wonder you are broke

st
even new investors can currently get a 10% total return

st
''Probably better with taking the 1.5% offered by Chase or i see Virgin offer 1.56%''

I prefer the current about 25% total return that I am currently getting with Lloyds.

''IT'S SHAT.''

you have a SELL button

''then changed the slogan to "once in a generation chance"!

now it's an over and over chance until you vote the right way.
Unfortunately for the SNP, they could hold a vote next year (as planned?) but would be meaningless without the acceptance of our Boris led government.

''yes I believe that is rooted in xenophobia and racism, because it definitely isn't rooted in economics.''

it is rooted in the fact that the majority of people on this small island do not want ever increasing numbers on an already over populated country and did not want to be part of the EU.
Too simplistic for you?

mac
''Then people have accepted it.''

Once in a lifetime 2014 vote - not being accepted by about 45% of people in Scotland. When do the SNP want a rerun?

mac
'' if you want to debate with actual facts I'm more than happy to do so,''

no, you hide behind a filter (supposedly) when the heat is too much.

''A lot of us don't want to be in the UK because we have been governed by a Tory party for over a decade when we haven't voted Tory in over half a century''

it's called democracy - get over it.
Unfortunately Labour have been in government in part of the last 50 years.
You now have your own parliament in Scotland with the SNP having run things for a number of years now - how has that worked out to be a great benefit for Scotland with them at the helm?.

btw - the SNP got 45% of the vote at the last election, meaning that a lot went to other parties that many snp supporters label all as Tories but of different colour, so it appears the people of Scotland do vote for 'Tories' .

''A lot of us don't want to be in the UK because we have been governed by a Tory party for over a decade when we haven't voted Tory in over half a century''

I live in London - I have never voted Labour, but I always seem to get a Local Labour MP and Labour council.

''We have a lot in common with our Scandi and Nordic cousins in particular.''

what would that be?

mac
you are making yourself look a right idiot.
Also when the going gets tough, you hide.

mac
''it's very odd you keep defending the people I've called xenophobic and r@cist.''

so you think that however you label someone must be a fact?
get over yourself.
Stop hiding behind a filter (supposedly).

''and any chances of the Tories winning the next election''

Starmer over 5/1 for next PM.

Boris had a landslide victory, then we have had a pandemic with huge support for business during the worst of the period , now a war in Europe, with him giving support to Ukraine, but somehow the continuation of attack by the msm and political opponents over being given a birthday cake is a reason why he cannot win an election.
People need a bit of perspective.

your continued comment (over and over) about MT is the sort of thing that this site would ban you for.

''There is a pattern''

really?
MT was PM under completely different rules, where the leader could be challenged each year. She saw off the first one, and then the following year pulled out of a second ballot after winning the first ballot.

JM simply resigned to re enter a leadership contest which he won.
He then lost the following General election.

TM was the one who had a vote of no confidence which she won.
She then resigned 5 months later because as I said earlier, she couldn't get her 'not leaving the EU' Brexit deal through parliament because 'remainers' voted against it.

Now BJ has WON a vote of no confidence.

Time to move onto more important matters.

''If you can't handle someone disagreeing with you''

What you do is run away and hide behind a filter (or so you say).

mac
''is ruining your chances at holding onto power.''

over 5/1 for Starmer to be next PM.

Mac
''which saw her booted out 8 months later.''

she resigned when 'remainers' in parliament wouldn't vote through her deal, which was effectively not leaving the EU.
How THICK were they

''The trend on big votes -- when it matters -- is clear...''

You forgot - he won twice in Labour London to become mayor
