What a silly comment to make

Put me down for £1.10 please

STP - "MV, I thought you'd be busy painting st georges crosses on roundabouts?''

Given MVarawa's cognitive decline, lack of mobility and high blood pressure, the chances of him finding a roundabout are somewhat minimal.

Were he to succeed in overcoming all known laws of science, and manage to exact such an undertaking, just look for a roundabout splashed with a half moon and star.

Should any of you see him carrying out such a threat, please contact the police immediately. Don't let the nappy fool you, the guy is certifiable.

How do you arrive at £6 billion ?

Thanks in advance

In answer to your question, yes I have sold a substantial portion of my holding this afternoon. I will increase my stake if the ruling goes in our favour.

I have reduced my holding by some 80% over the last few weeks, taking advantage of the substantial gains accrued during 2025. How would I feel if those profits are wiped out by the Supreme Court ?

Anyone prepared to call it ? I will say now; it will go against us and the share price will dive.

Gateboy, glad to hear it, and genuinely hoping you are doing well and continue to do so.

Kind regards

Gateboy - and what have we done ? We have supplied weapons to a country knowing full well they were committing genocide in Palestine. Is that not evil ?

Starmer said it was ok to deny food and water to a civilain population. Is that not evil ?

We could go on, but you are not in the best of health it would seem, and I don't want to exercise your sense of righteousness any further. Who knows where that might lead.

Hey 67Sam - I have a bridge to sell you.

''Lti yr persistence in explaining the impact of buy backs on the sp is commendable. He's been doing this 10 years guys please can you heed what he's saying? He's only stating facts''.

No, BB, he is stating his opinion. That is something entriely different altogether.

LTI

The logic is that with big additional provisions, it will likely result in a subdued share price making any monies put into a buyback programme go further.

''My example would mean the same net result as far as reducing the share count goes, with the reduced £500 million amount going towards provisions instead. So if the same share reduction result , a positive thought process would be that the additional provision has cost Zero''

If we were to follow your logic that would imply the lower the share price the better. I for one would not like to see a falling share share price ( 40p, 30p, 20p, 10p and then bust ) irrespective of how favourable that might be in terms of buybacks.

Let us shareholders have +5p a share instead in the form of yearly dividends.

We can then decide if, and at what price, we buy back the shares.

''The talk in the past few hours now is of a 1970s-style financial crisis. UK 30-year gilt has leapt to an incredible 5.4%. Alarm bells are ringing. The currency and bond markets are starting to disbelieve the Treasury's claim that UK finances are "orderly"... Batten down the hatches 👍''

Meanwhile the FTSE is up almost 1%

LTI - my last articulation on this since i have no desire to join you on your hamster wheel.

''The narrative should be based on known facts. Lloyds has set aside some money for the 'car scam' scam''

Any semblance of credibility you might have had went south with the ''some money aside''.

Put simply, if the 'car scam' comes to £450 million and no more I will personally donate £100 to a charity of your choice.

LTI

Did you type that missive whilst wearing a straight face ? We are facing a multibillion dollar fine that will probably hang over the share price for years to come.

We have a labour Government hell bent on destroying what's left of our economy. And then there's the national debt, the cost of living crisis ( which I am heartily sick of hearing about ) At the risk of sounding like an evangelist I will stop right there.

I would have more respect for your stance if you had the courage to promulgate a more balanced narrative.

LTI

''Lloyds is in better shape now than when the market was giving it a £58 Billion valuation''

Quite clearly, the market doesn't agree with you.

Quite clearly, the market doesn't agree with you.

LTI

''A high dividend payment does not determine the valuation of a business''

High dividend attracts more buyers. More buyers will increase the value of any business.

Imagine Lloyds were to pay a dividend of 8p - or close to 15%. If you think the share price would stagnate on that basis then I have nothing more to add.

I am minded to believe that the vast majority of shareholders on here would rather have a 4.5p dividend with no buybacks, than 2.5p with buybacks ( 2025 )

Idiot

Dear SUFCESSEX you know you are loved.
Yes I really hope you survive. I remember you giving us a beating or two down there. Very sad to see you in the National League.
67Sam, thanks for you erudite perambulations into the hitherto complex machinations of all that is LLOYds. This is what happens when people like you run out of glue.
Oh and Gate13Boy, what gloom and despair ? What have I missed ? Longterminvestor found a tall building has he ?

SUFCESSEX

You really are a prize numpty - the FTSE at 8000 and Lloyds at 55p ? Hardly reason to celebrate. One might come to expect Lloyds to be over 80p given the FTSE at record levels.

What's your average again ? Hovering at 63p last I heard ? Hardly in a position to stop the Shrimpers going under are you ? Get a grip man.
