Hi Coco, Yes, that's also my concern. I had been hoping for a special dividend to cover the "postponed" 2019 payment plus a marginal divi for last year.
Clearly very unlikely :)
Lloyds CET1 levels were already at the level of Barclays I believe, could that be a positive factor?
Would it really be too radical an idea for those who believe the share will improve from here and reintroduce dividends to keep it and post their views, and those that believe it will decline to sell up and move elsewhere.
Why waste your life constantly moaning and insulting people who have a different view when you don't believe the investment will be successful anyway?
Certainly looking positive with the acquisitions coming on stream and potentially further acquisitions to come in the current climate. Companies that have the strength to maintain availability and service in these challenging times are likely to do well and come out of it much stronger.
Blimey ST, I assume that you don't feel that dividends will return this year?
It seems an ever so slightly aggressive and over the top way to express your view and your opinion of those who may think differently ...... :)
Very difficult to understand what's happening to the share price here over the last couple of weeks. Everything seems to be lined up in the companies favour with strong growth in the UK and internationally. I assume this is a blip with further increases in the share price for the rest of year, particularly after the results in the summer.
Thanks DC, understand now. I have a large (for me) long term holding showing a considerable loss, though I also took out a significant holding more recently which is in profit. I understand your disappointment, though I do have a much more positive view on longer term prospects and if we could return to 3-4p divi either this year or next year it would suit my long term aims.
Hi DC , Just for interest and perspective on your views, would you be happy to indicate your level of commitment in Lloyds? I do find it strange that quite a number of people on here are so consistently negative on prospects for the business but are investors. I do understand that many people may feel locked in by the collapse in the share price over the last year and remain disappointed which may be your position (I am also locked in to an extent). I do remain positive for the long term, and the dividend is key for my future plans, but understand there are many different views.
Dc, not sure why you insist on neverending moaning and criticism of others for having a different view whilst apparently gloating that some people may have lost money in the last few weeks.
I bought a while ago at what I thought was the bottom at 32 and then watched it drop to 24. After a while it rose back above 32 where it has been since. If you have a long term positive view on the strength of the business invest, if you don't have a positive view keep your money. We all have a view and make our own decisions, many of us looking more than 2 or 3 months ahead.
Hi DC, I see you have a view, which may or may not prove correct. The bit I don't understand as with a number of others is why you all seem so upset about someone having a different view? What does it all matter, none of it affects the outcome?
Surely worth topping up at these levels.....
I was originally hopeful of the 2019 deferred dividend being paid plus around 1p for 2020 coming to around 3.25p, but then Asp shared some info a while ago that I had missed whereby the banking dividends would be based on the two years results together, so not sure where that leaves us......
Yes, I also am locked in due to the share price, but always viewed them as long term dividend income. Also hoping for 2.5p for the last two years dividend and then hopeful of building to 4p pa over the next couple of years......
