Quillp - Lloyds is my biggest holding and I'm currently £53,570 down on this.

66.18 141315
64.23 51584
69.00 54320
65.76 30250
64.74 15358
63.69 23551
0 1706 (Divi reinvestment)
60.3465 8244
58.878 5921
57.47 13920
57.45 34624
58.89 107 (I'd sold some of this lot)
54.95 60726

I never thought I'd see this go below 60p again. When I get my next dividend I will be reinvesting here and may have another punt to try and average down. I'm hoping it will be this price or lower to make the most of the dividend reinvestment. My current average is 63.12p.

I'm already top heavy in Lloyds but topped up yesterday with another 63,841 @54.95p.

I remember thinking when these dropped to 64p they were a bargain and thinking they'd never go lower. How wrong I was. But I'm looking forward to the dividend and will use the full dividend to buy more.

What do people think the final dividend will be?

Thanks for clarifying Bob. I'm in no rush to sell but I'd have been better buying in this morning. I'm sure it will come back.

Thanks George. I'm confident we will see this rise to £6 again.

Quindo - If I do get the dividend then it will be a bonus indeed. I'm not expecting it but will be pleased if it comes through.

Oops. I was looking at the wrong date. I've missed the dividend for this quarter :(
Oh well, I'm intending to keep these for a few years so onwards and upwards. GLA.

I've just bought back in here today at 534.80 & 535. Bought in two tranches 11,876 shares in total.

Is that a good figure livestock? How does a company raise it's return on equity?

I've just topped up at my lowest price so far. Bought 34,624 shares at this price.

I’ve been trying to move from Smart Investor since February because of all the issues I’ve had. Most of my portfolio is now with Interactive Investor, and my Barclays dividend was paid immediately. Still waiting on Dividend shares paid between February and now to be moved. 95 days ago I was told I had to wait 90 days and they’d do a sweep. I knew it wouldn’t happen. Dealing with Barclays has been one stressful headache after another. Going to have to start over with a new complaint. I’ve got dividend shares due on my dividend shares for Lloyd’s tomorrow - if they pay on time.

No wonder the share price is what it is.

This board should be renamed Brexit and a new Lloyd’s board should be set up.

I've just added 2771 shares @£1.8144 to my BARC collection taking my total in here to 21,995.

It's reduced my average price to £2.05. Hopefully by year end we'll be back above £2. Help reduce my losses.

Well said Kaiser. I’m down on the share price at the moment but I’m in for the long haul. I will be topping up soon to reduce my average which I think is slightly higher than yours. I think the dividends will continue to increase which will cover my current losses even at this price. I do believe this share and Barclays are undervalued at the moment.

@gate13boy - top man. Thanks. That makes sense.

Pan '' It should be on a constant upwards trend with the buyback in play'' Why should it? ——— I’m thinking basic supply and demand. If volumes are low and Lloyd’s are buying on a daily basis (was it 13m today) then that should be a positive to the share increasing. Unless there’s more selling happening. But who’s selling at this price? And when you look at today’s volumes there’s more than twice the amount of shares bought than sold and yet the price drops. 56m sold against 117 bought and the price drops. Doesn’t make sense in the traditional way of thinking about shares being traded.

So why the drop in price then? It should be on a constant upwards trend with the buyback in play. Is the stock being shorted? I'm trying to free up some of my money that is currently in funds. I should have another £10,000 within the next 4-5 days. If they're this price or below - I'll top up more. I'm currently £15,000 down so should help average my price down.

It's heading that way. Will we see a drop into the 50's when this goes ex-dividend? I'm about £15,000 down here at the moment. I'd top up to try and average down but my funds are tied up.

I'm waiting for this nightmare to end. Share price seems to be going in one direction everyday :(

And I can't currently buy anymore as my funds are tied up.

That was rumored months ago. There's not much mileage in it. Standard Charter is not a good fit for Barclays.

Curious how you know this having only been a member since February 2018.......

Sorry for the delayed reply. I've moved funds from Barclays to Interactive Investor. I've just started the process to move funds from Aviva to Interactive Investor. After that I'm going to start the process to move two other pensions to Interactive Investor.

I've read some bad reviews about Interactive Investor but it was after I decided to consolidate. They've been ok so far. But their platform is what I want. I don't want any advise I just need somewhere to buy and sell - nothing more. So if their platform allows me to login, trade and then log out I'm happy. This might not suit everyone and I've read bad reviews if you need to talk to someone but I can't imagine a time where I would.

Why are you tired of them? Once I've consolidated it would be easier for me to move - not that I want to do that anytime soon. If your experiences are bad enough I will move away, as much as I don't want to. I just want a platform that works. Aviva's is 10 times worse than Barclays and I'd rate Barclays 1/10.

Haha. I liked that. And good shout.
