Has issued an updated note following this mornings RNS. I wonder if Simon Thompson may add his thoughts later this week.

Brent starting the week on the front foot $84.40.

Surety - thanks for the feedback.

Over the last 5 years they have closed over 250 branches and cut thousands of job and bought back and cancelled billions of shares and many LTH remain under water, and now the car finance fiasco - you couldn't make it up. Behaving like an AIM stock.

Has issued a comprehensive update - emailed at 18.50pm this evening - need to upgrade to read.

JS has gone from being a prolific poster (JOG PANR ORCA) on a few boards to none - jail is my guess. Quite a decline here despite the Zeus update, rather disappointing.

"you are in need of a reality check - how is your understanding of buybacks going."

From what I am reading today (£13bn potential to those involved) there may not be room of large buybacks for a few years - hope I am wrong. Whatever next will crawl out of the woodwork.

Is for the regulator to say "no dividends to be paid and no share buybacks" retain the funds to settle the car loans issue. They did it during COVID and they can do it again. Just another PPI all over again. Then a Labour government waiting in the wings to tax what they consider to be "excessive profits" resulting from high interest rates - you couldn't make it up.

A comforting update - for me anyway my patience continues.

LTI has the belief that as his holding grows (in % terms) he will become richer, he seems to ignore the fact that since the start of the last share buy back (Feb 22) the share price has fallen nigh on 20% (52p to 42p) that is how bright the chap is.

Don't know about a takeover, the guy could be in jail following the threatening behaviour he posted on the PANR BB.

All you say is very true for any LTH of LLOY - But remember (as longtimeinvestor regularly points out ) with all these buy backs your % ownership of LLOY is growing as you grow poorer by the day.

Vodafone will get well above 100p in time and it more likely than not it will be the result of a takeover.

The gist of the threat is in Kever history dated 26/12/23 all rather nasty.

That was correct - Kever.

I have seen 40 predictions - 2 below the current price - what can go wrong???

Over 60p and I'm out - just dreaming again.

I would like to see a lot less chat on here about the Helikon short.

If AFC deliver on what is expected together with the business plan outlined in the JV with Speedy the short will be (expensive) history, if they fail to deliver, well the short will be a winner.

Time will tell, it is all in AFC's hands - end of story.

I only have one person on filter - this is from the PANR BB.

Jamessimon threatened me with violence on here recently. I reported him to LSE and my local Police Internet crime enforcement team. They are investigating. Watch this space.

Brixton - you said

"i very much expect to buy Lloyds again for some unknown reason for 24p in 2026/7 "

I hope you were either very very drunk or joking when you wrote that comment.

Tell me was it JOG or CAPITA that u first bought in 2017? Have a good Christmas.

I'm not a great believer in averaging down as it's too often throwing good after bad but averaging up is different.

I bought in at 42.35p a couple of weeks ago and today doubled my holding.

Capita was the very first share I ever bought in 2017 and thankfully I got out before it crashed but at these prices it can only go one way.

Onwards and upwards. :)
