Just entered at £3.03....eps of 10....not planning on selling...long term forever hold at this price :)

By just pulled out of the latest sports bidding process citing too expensive...market will like that

You were right the first time

Took the opportunity to buy more today reinvesting recent dividends from CNA, Saga and IMB. Long term future here looks interesting...particularly the world's changing view on legalising cannabis.

Bats moving into medicinal whacky baccy

IMB moving into medicinal cannabis....BATs too hence the nice rise..

Along with the relaxing stance on cannabis...Canada today went for full legalisation for personal use for adults below 30g....UK talking initially of medicinal legalisation...let's see where this ends

Big tobacco for years have been keen to tap the cannabis market...but legislation world wide prohibitive....until now?? Canada just gone down full legalisation today....UK talking initially about medicinal legalisation....if the laws start relaxing it will be a massive growth kicker for the big boys

£23000000?????? Had that gone through we would. Have crashed... Update due tomorrow....hmmmmn

Good news indeed

Look longer term....don't sell your winners too soon or too easily...

Watching opening of world cup. Lots of big company adverts being placed during the breaks.seeing as its 4pm on a Thursday!...got to substantially add to the bottom line.

Really missing his knowledgeable input.... I thought this was heading to sub 165? What's gone wrong ??:)

As soon as interest rates start to tick up, the pension deficit will start to melt away....clearly will be increased by BT's extra payments. Five yrs from today this company will be in a much much better place. However, we have to accept the next 12-18 months won't be pretty....but that gives us the opportunity of a cheap buy in price. Once the story changes, green shoots start appearing, pension deficit reducing, efficiency savings kick in then many people will want in at @ £2 per share.....only it won't be close to £2:) At this price we are getting g paid to take the negative story headlines.....it's the same reason I'm in VOD..but do hold alot more of them....and with a slightly progressive dividend (2-4%) are slightly more attractive but on a higher P/E than bt. I don't really think you can go wrong with either

Just catching up here....am long on bt. Probably already mentioned but new CEO will kitchen sink the business starting with say 50% dividend cut....to be fair no bad thing....same happened in Aviva @ 5 yrs ago...made the company much stronger....we will just need a 3-5 yr window to see +400p.....but come it will....that alone will offset dividend reduction. Normally I would resent such changes...but as a holder here I think it best for long term growth.

Just one reason our share Price is crumbling....among many related to the brexit mess http://news.sky.com/story/european-businesses-advised-to-avoid-using-british-parts-ahead-of-brexit-11395908

Suf, don't lose heart. Have a look at any decent UK equity fund then look at the top 10 holdings of that fund. Lloyd will appear in most....and for good reason, good dividend, growing dividend, increasing profits and in 12 months nearly ppi will be gone. Your contacts should phone all the big UK equity funds to warn them :)....seriously...this has gotta be safer than centrica ( which we both hold :))

Agree..Italy over last couple days and now the US steel and aluminium tariffs on the EU....it held up ok
