If the chump is shorting (which I doubt he has the ability to do) he's got a big fat dividend payment to cough up soon 😁😁

Either that or close his position and take a hit 😁😁

Oh dear - It seems there are one or two on this board who have absolutely no idea and really shouldn't be investing

Good call Dave 👍

Couldn't agree more - Dreary

Chid - I don't think investing is for you.

Your lack of understanding about how a public company operates and an abject misunderstanding about share price economics is astounding.

Yeah Tim nice jump following the news - Pretty relaxed hanging on here whilst re-investing the juicy div. Bank rate looks like sticking here for a while so a little patience required.

By the way you from Tickhill near Doncaster?

Me too - topped up twice since xmas to bring my average down below 110 - Happy to sit and take the pretty safe and attractive divs - Pretty sure the SP will turn a corner once interest rates decline

High and low for any information about the possible recall later this year - Nothing out there

Not sure when Lloyds are required to declare this or perhaps with the BOE rates this high it makes sense to them to let them run until the next call date

Actually it's who would've :-)

You think > 6% and rising is a low dividend?

I'm not saying the country doesn't need change Sair, clearly it does. But I don't think Starmer and his front bench are the answer - Now Blair and the quality he had in his cabinet was a different story- Be careful what you wish for

GWM - There's no guarantees of course but CTY's record of raising dividends and paying out through thick and thin is pretty impressive. A 5% yield might not sound too sexy right now but when the cycles changes (and it will) A consistent and rising 5% div will look pretty attractive. If you read the CTY prospectus the directors state that they recognise the importance of dividends to their investors - I like that because it means their modus operandi is aligned with mine.

This is not advice....... But you could take a look at AEI, again an impressive divi record that is higher than CTY which is also consistently paid, albeit without CTY's incredible longevity. From a sleeping at night perspective AEI mostly invests in large blue chip companies so generally moves up and down with the market, but is not for investors who consider ESG i.e. tobacco, oil, mining etc

Nonsense Easy,

If you're white and born in the west you're already a winner in life's lottery. Making the most of that id down to an individuals life choices.

The UK's troubles along with the rest of the developed world won't improve one iota if Corbyn's crony Starmer gets in. And I won't even wade in on Labours front bench.

Could be a lot lower when the impending recession arrives. 2 years of interest rate rises are just starting to bite and the BOE will be too slow to lower rates just as it was too slow to raise them when even my daughters hamster knew inflation was upon us.

Beach - you obviously haven't been on this thread when the two serial chumps have been enlightening us with their investment prowess :-)

Decent half year results - Bit of patience required whilst interest rates are high but the dividend makes sitting on my hands easier.

Zac I think it depends on your reason for investing - If you're seeking growth these probably aren't really for you.

If like me however you're retired and seek a decent but more importantly a reliable income (not guaranteed but the div record here is impressive), then CTY fit the bill perfectly.

Of course with the current BOE rates, the c. 5% div looks mediocre, but you don't have to go back to far to when gilts yielded almost nothing.

"flush with excess capital" - Music to my income seeking ears

Bit of patience required for sure - But if inflation keeps falling.......

Yeah yeah yeah and a dick is a dick
