don't be idiotic.

In what way does Lloyds investing £2 Billion screw you?.

that was a large one - bigger than any buyback day in 2019

day 1 - 36,644,604 shares

''If you think this is exciting''

there is nothing exciting about being a lloyds shareholder.
Most long term investors do not need to keep a constant watch on the share price, just every now and then.

Without volatility I would just be waiting for my share selling levels in what i hope will be a continued upward movement.
I do not need to purchase shares as I already have too many.
Any new investment would most likely come in the form of short term SB's on volatility .

in fact the post was not aimed at you - i was just telling you about some people

bum
'moaning' wasn't aimed at you

jcb
you should soon find out

Bum
I don't know why some people come on here frustrated and constantly moaning about Lloyds.
An investor should be aware of the type of investment they have bought into.
This is not an Aim stock.
I take things as they come and try to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves .

we have had results.
we have had a war start.
We have had buybacks start.

The volatility makes for opportunities - hence my early starts in the last couple of days.
I like to keep a constant watch if i have open SB's.
Hoping that the share price doesn't drop too much from here to temp me back into SB's.

More of the same from you I see
Did you notice the £2 Billion buyback?

''So where's the SP growth?''

The market decides on market cap/share price.

Lloyds was in the 80's in 2015 (pre buybacks) - is there a reason why at some time the market will not give a similar valuation with or without buybacks

sage
Hopefully they will be yearly if made under asset value

''The "drivers" could be,
Buybacks,
Decent dividends,
Mergers or acquisitions''

we have had/getting those

bum
I think you will find that people every day want to make a purchase to own Lloyds shares

''why was the pre-covid divi higher''

because of a different policy by a previous CEO. Dividend policies change.
I am sure that if Lloyds were at 75p today the policy would probably be more against investment into Lloyds shares making more available for dividends.

bum
what would you do with your 0.5p per share leaving the bank into your hands.?
I am happy for the money to be used (and more) on purchasing and cancelling shares to increase my percentage stake in Lloyds bank.

The BOD are there to determine how much out of profits is invested and how much is given as a dividend distribution to shareholders

br
if all profits were invested then there would be no dividend distribution

In the long run a companies share price would increase with increased earnings per share.
