Dividend was allegedly "postponed" not cancelled by the FCA........

Totally mystified by the current share price, but certainly does seem like a buying opportunity. I suspect it will be a very different picture by next spring.....

Still waiting to get back in at 6.50....... :)

I haven't been doing well with Lloyds for 10 years now :) .... will all come good when the divis start coming through!

Well done Falky! Good when a plan works.... makes up for the ones that don't :) Hope you're right on Lloyds.....

Very tedious the endless sniping and abuse of others on here. Why so worried about what everyone else is doing? Make your own decisions and look after your own money ........

3p end of year dividend would do nicely :)

Sorry PD, couldn't open the link?

Mine was in there first thing this morning.... already spent! :)

See LTI below. Many of us feel that should have been paid as it was postponed rather than cancelled , potentially as a special dividend. In reality, it is now likely to contribute to the future plans for shareholders of the new CEO at end of year for buybacks/dividends. Either way, I would expect 2021 results onwards to be pretty healthy with dividends back at least to pre pandemic 3.29+

Sorry this is off topic, but caught a politician on TV this morning complaining about the proposed NI increases. He thinks it's right to provide the extra funds , but constantly repeated that it was wrong that it would be funded by "hard working people".
At no point was he asked how he would identify the lazy people and what mechanism he proposed for getting the money from them.
Very infuriating......

Expect a sudden drop...... bought a few more!

I am amazed by the continuing fall of the share price from 50p when I see nothing to change the expectations for Lloyds results. I expected a period of stagnation until the plans for distribution of the excess capital were confirmed, but not this continuing decline.

I bought a few more this morning in case anyone was wondering about todays further share price decline ..... :)

Yes, I know that they traditionally have, but as returning significant dividends it creates great volatility rather than a relatively smooth quarterly return. I was aware that Lloyds for instance was moving to quarterly divis before the covid freeze.....

Afternoon All, a bit of progress here this week. Relatively new holder here and I'm sure this has been raised several times before, but is there really no option to go to quarterly dividends here to stop the big share price swings? In the digital age I wouldn't have thought that it was too prohibitive?

Never looked back since I sold most at £7....... :)

Happy everyone is making all this profit on Lloyds ..... wish I was!!! :)

Hi Adeg1, too late I'm afraid on Lloyds. I have been in long term with a large holding and planned for 3-4p divis which was fine pre- covid. Still expecting to get back to the same in the next 1-2 yrs. Most of my investments and pensions are in diverse funds, but also want to support with a divi return from a few reliable shares.

Relatively new to Aviva , but starting to build an interest and have around 8k shares so far. Is the price likely to take the usual fall ex divi at the end of this week or will the buy back hold it up? From looking at Aviva, it looks a bit too good to be true for the next 2-3 years. Is there something I am missing as I don't understand why the price isn't heading up rapidly. I'm looking at early retirement soon and have a sizeable holding in Lloyds, a small holding Lgen and now Aviva with a view to providing regular divi income. It feels like I should be going much bigger in Aviva ......
