''Are you saying that NATO/US forces are only for invading 3rd world countries''

US is not NATO
NATO are a defensive organisation.
NATO forces are deployed if a NATO country has been attacked. The US was attacked (9/11) organised from Afghanistan.
The mission of NATO in Iraq was one of training at the request of the Iraqi interim government.

so basically the RNS price does not include tax

lowest price of the day from 2 sources show 42.63p which would be a mid price.
Lloyds RNS shows the lowest price paid was 42.64p

the running totals are only going to differ by 0.5% depending on whether the tax is applied to the rns figures or not, so not a big deal.

On top of course is the fee payable to MS.

hu
yes i have added stamp duty.

rns gives number of shares purchased and the price of lowest,highest levels and of course the average. My assumption is that the purchase levels don't include the tax

''I make it £146,503,789.04''

sorry posted wrong figure -tiredness, but now refreshed after coming home after beers
should have been £147,146,337.60

and 41.95 and 41.45

in at 42.45

time for a few beers

btw
quoting the whole post would also have put things into context also.
The post was about 'penny pinching'

''and we are down to 60 m shares in issue.''

even better if it was just my shares remaining

Much
18.35
Yes , pushing a good chunk from profits into a continuation of Lloyds share purchase investment programmes would be very beneficial in the long run if purchased below asset value, which the current price is .

your desperation is palpable

J46

and???

the potential profit was lost 44.35p to 57p as I posted when previously at about 46p.

If this is your way of saying that I said it wouldn't go down to 44p , then forget it.
better luck on your second attempt at a quote - normally completely fabricated.

Total cost of buyback so far........= £146,414,266.27

I make it £146,503,789.04

There are inflation figures published by the ONS based on a basket of items.
It is this figure that the MPC members look at when they come to vote on interest rates.
Interest rates are not geared to an individual.

''I'm not disagreeing with the theory. But read ''

that is as far as my reading went.

Increasing interest rates puts downward pressure on inflation.
Rate rises need to be ahead of the curve.

snige
''On this occasion raising the cost of money adds to inflation as business will try to recoup the costs.''

ffs - that is what inflation is

T
what the FCUK

you do like going round in circles.
Energy is just one constituent that go into an inflation figure.
Inflation is made up of all constituents combined.
Increasing interest rates puts downward pressure on inflation.

T
''In reality no.''

So we have T saying that the reality is, that raising interest rates don't help with tackling inflation.

When we talk about more saving less spending, I think most people would know we are talking about the uk population as a whole not on an individual basis.
Try thinking
