''that is the point ,the people are backing him''

no that is not the point - many are backing a false narrative, not the reality.
Putin knows the reality, most Russians don't.

''china will buy his oil and gas''

why are they not buying all the oil now?

''you do not think putin has gone into this without waying up the consequences ''

Yes I do think ''putin has gone into this without waying up the consequences ''

''the russian people are backing him''

I think it is more the case that those without access to outside newsfeeds (most people) are backing the Russian Media Propaganda

''putin has a way out he will install a puppet government and that will be it''

Really
''we put sanctions on him and our stock market is dropping''

currently up today - about 170 points highr than last weeks low

''he will turn off the gas and oil to europe and sell it to china''

I believe Russia are currently having trouble finding buyers for most of their oil.

T
''The West needs to give Putin some way out of this''

yes - get out of Ukraine
get out of Crimea
get out of presidential office

''like swapping 90p of change for a pound coin''

I would say 80p.
cannot be bothered to check again bit i think asset value is at about 57p ?

''One down days they up a gear on the share eating machine
One blue days they take the foot of the peddle''

I think those actions would be more like in the minute to minute time frames.

what has gone is c19 not currently being the headline news.
Hopefully in the coming years C19 will evolve to such an extent as to become one of the over 200 known viruses that cause the common cold

''*44p gap*is doing my head now.....''

as i said, all over the place.
I haven't waited / will not wait for a gap.

It doesn't bother me if Lloyds went to 40p, knowing the investment that Lloyds are making

sba
so 45p was Ok for you yestarday but now.

''keen to be in Lloyds if I can get in at say 40 p.''

your opinion seems to have changed dramatically in a day.
The market has the view tha Lloyds is currently worth about 46p per share.

sba
''I’m keen to buy in but if it’s going lower I’d rather wait''

so you are not keen to buy because you think it may be overpriced.

Yes, an incredible level of daily purchases in the early days of this investment programme compared with the 2019 buyback, which took 6 months to spend £1 Billion.

sc
''Share buybacks currently struggling to put a floor on the share price.''

Buybacks do not put a floor on a share price - if there are sellers willing to offload at ever lower prices then the share price will go down.

I know.
I have had nonsense from J46 for years questioning my Lloyds situation,
so I make sure I post investments into Lloyds and sales for his benefit,but even so he still comes out with something like 'I only post trades weeks after the event'.

''Brent crude $110 dollars a barrel''

Just under $114

I post for the benefit of J46

dc
I have no idea what he has bought. He doesn't appear to have bought yet today,
so if he bought sub 46 it would have been at a very small fraction below, bought yesterday

F
you appear to be all over the place - no calmness
