Nice top up at £4.64 and will enjoy the slow and steady rise back up nearer £6 in the short term. U lucky to the ones getting too greedy and hoping for £4.50 and lower! Just isn't happening, I'm afraid. This is woefully cheap already. Will enjoy the 100% upside minimum in the medium term and 200% potentially long term.

Kernowtrader: Trying their best to impart their 'expert' knowledge and spread fear about another wave of COVID and related restrictions, when in reality a quick search of their limited positing shows they don't know basics e.g. like when a dividend is paid or not and they sold RR WAY too early when it hit the 140s then asked everyone if they'd jumped the gun (has since hit nearer 210p)

It's probably been flagged up and it's common knowledge to many, but August is the time when many of the real BIG BOY traders have clocked out for their summer hols. Volumes suffer and likewise the share prices of many of the key players. Keep powder dry, top up holdings and watch as September arrives and things start to look much more rosey. Happens time and time again, check the sp data if you don't believe it! Banks, airlines, house builders to name but a few seconds I'm expecting to start a steady tick up from next week as the BIG BOYS return and weighty buying of the 'recovery stocks' resumes. Just chill and mark these words

In your last comment you suggested a relief rally at $11k. Now you're suggesting $8k is way more than one bitcoin is actually worth. You need to read up on how BTC has become more established and moved on massively in terms of stability in recent times. Will see $80k before $8k

Do you mean a bullish correction upwards to $80,000 dollars rather than $8000 and you left a zero off? If not, Scooby Doo is less confused than you as only a few days ago you were patting yourself on the back when your $15+ buy-in price for Mara kicked in LOL.

Chaiwala- you're really not that bright, are you? The sp has reluctantly dipped only slightly under the 10p placing amount despite considerable negative headwinds from a fairly hefty BTC drop overnight (GMT). Why exactly do you think 7p will be along shortly or are you simply clutching at straws wildly to try and suit your own agenda? Any danger of you trying to explain your predictions with any sort of evidence? I thought not. Laughing stock, my friend.

Sadly, David Brent has not yet DECAMPED from the Legal and General chat page LOL. I'm up around 4/5% on my overall holding and will be picking up a eighty 8/9% dividend, so 'you do the math!' as David Brent might himself exclaim

Yes, obviously some people are trying to deramp LGEN on here for personal gain but yes, it smacks of mere desperation and probably has zero effect! I'm not worked up about it, instead just flagging it up and countering with my own, more bullish point of view following the results. And the slow creep up I predicted earlier this morning has happened just as expected. Soon be back in the 230s and beyond in the build up to ex-divi date. Was an absolute no brainer to top up at below 224p

It must actually be quite a headache for the derampers to think of anything remotely believable to use as ammunition against LGEN at the moment. When the SP is at this level, after a mere blip/overreaction against market conditions, it looks an appealing investment given the dividend declared and, more importantly, the results and fundamentals of the business. It's not going to drop beyond this level very much, if at all as we approach the ex-divi date. I suspect it will keep creeping up as the day continues and into when the US open this avo. I can think of way easier shares to deramp!

There's been some decent buys in ARB this morning. I think those salivating at the thought of a 5/6p buy-in are merely wishful thinkers.

Plenty of buys coming in mopping up the sells. I get the feeling any £2 sell off will have very little detrimental impact on the sp, maybe a couple of pence at best. Day traders be warned

Agreed. Now watch this rise...

Share prices are meant to reflect the true value of the company in an accurate manner. There is no question whatsoever that this set of results are not just 'solid' but- in fact- excellent, once the numbers are scrutinized. Not quite at a truly miraculous level but it's a good indication of how quickly people seem to forget the projections being banded about during the peak of the pandemic. Well done to all those that kept faith or bought in during this time. I always championed RR as ultimately being the UK government's 'golden goose' that would (reassuringly) never be allowed to go under. It's been battered but remains a flagship entity that will certainly have its day again. Enjoying the rise throughout the day!

Well the company is certainly being shorted to high heaven at the moment, that's for sure. But the intrinsic value is also way higher than the current sp. No reason to suspect a raise in the pipeline and fully expecting this to hit a bottom and then steadily start the rise back up to nearer £1.20 in the fairly short term

"Get in, let the dust settle and wait to see how the US responds later. They'll like the results update and the next couple of weeks or so towards the ex-divi date will see a slow and steady rise in the sp".

Appears to be playing out exactly as I stated above a couple of hours ago... GLA. Next stop 46p.

Recession? Did you not hear the last statistics from the BOE about inflation? Things are on the turn for the better already, you muppet. Lloyds will bounce from here as we approach the ex Divi date. 44p is already chump change compared to what this will eventually work its way up to

Long term holders prior to COVID and beyond:

It's understandable why you're so down on Lloyds

More recent holders around the 20-55p levels, 2020-2023 era: This is looking solid for a return to the 50s very soon. Once the market fully digests today's news, rather than just a knee-jerk reaction based on the headlines/bullet points, it will surely kick on nicely, all things considered.

I'm going over the recent results in more detail and there are no surprises, just a decent, weighty rise in profit? What were people expecting exactly? The dividend rise is fair, too.

Get in, let the dust settle and wait to see how the US responds later. They'll like the results update and the next couple of weeks or so towards the ex-divi date will see a slow and steady rise in the sp.

And I agree wholeheartedly about the MARA expansion news and indeed any opinion that MARA is best placed for the BIG gains out of all miners. Bring it on

Lessons in humility not required. I'm merely addressing the unnecessary and seemingly vitriolic rants of the nay-sayers about ARB. I'm down on my average of around the 30p mark, yes, but that gives you an idea that my purchases around the 250p mark were hardly disastrous. I need no lessons in trading and holding alike, btw. I trader my 6.5p purchases at 13p before the offering. My MARA average is around $7.50 with the first tranche purchased back in December around the $5 mark. I've not felt the need to mention this up until this point. Yes, we're all here to make money, agreed

Quick maths: You moved quick & bought for 10p with no fees or stamp duty whatsoever at the offer then you sell the same amount of existing holding for 11p for a cool 10% profit. Or wait for 12p and get an even more impressive 20% bag. Or, play a longer game and see if 15p or, dare I say it, nearer 20p comes round again, for a WHOPPING 50% profit or double-bagger respectively. Decent gains whatever you choose. It's not rocket science. Simple FACTS
