''do they work in reality?''

I thought you would have known after a number of shares that the sole purpose of the investment plan is to reduce the ordinary share capital of the Company.
They 'work' every time

''what will we be at when buy backs end''
As always the market determines the value of the lloyds banking business.

'' housing market stagnates or falls, and unemployment returns?''
why would falling house prices greatly impact Lloyds?
There are always economic cycles, with Lloyds balance sheet in a very strong position.

NC is your average still about 60p?

Maybe you should look at other things that may affect a stock that you are invested in, rather than what an individual broker thinks.

Daily fluctuations in share price should be of no concern to anyone if not looking to buy or sell.

''SP reaction to broker downgrades always more than reaction to broker upgrades''

Are you not aware of a European war going on - actions will speak louder than words from Russia.
Plus of course inflation that needs to be dealt with.
