The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
Just interviewed a candidate who's getting out of Lloyds, been with them 10 years, says working conditions rapidly going downhill, large amounts of IT support offshored causing multiple problems, targets set from high that can be met to the detriment of the customer, experienced staff getting out. etc.
So, just to get back on topic. to summarise: 1. "He said it would drop to 54p when the buy back completes," confirmed not true 2. "but you have certainly indicated a drop in price after the buyback" - confirmed not true 3. "I said originally that you would expect a slight drop when buyback finished" - selective misquote 4. "Sub 60 following ex div then" - no link to buyback and no explanation for quoting You have repeatedly made untrue statements about what I have actually posted, misquoted posts, tried to assert untrue associations, etc. and continue to do so.
"Putting your buyback quote more simply, it would be something like: I expect the share price to fall after the buyback, but it may not" Another misquote but I'll only give you a d- for that one, must try harder :-)
LTI, as you are now doing you have a habit when you are losing your way in a discussion to try and distract onto other areas as your post below attempts to do. Again, there is no getting away from the fact that you have repeatedly made untrue statements about what I have actually posted, misquoted posts, tried to assert untrue associations, etc. and continue to do so. Shall I continue?
LTI, you selectively misquoted me there again, it almost looks like your doing it on purpose now but knowing you as I do I'm sure this is not the case :-)
Your selective misquote ''I said originally that you would expect a slight drop when buyback finished '
What I actually said in full this morning was:
"I think I said originally that you would expect a slight drop when buyback finished but often logic does not follow and the share price might rise."
Subtle difference, that was A* for effort misquoting me though, you've gone up in my estimations :-)
So again to summarise:
1. "He said it would drop to 54p when the buy back completes," confirmed not true
2. "but you have certainly indicated a drop in price after the buyback" - confirmed not true
3. "I said originally that you would expect a slight drop when buyback finished" - selective misquote
4. "Sub 60 following ex div then" - no link to buyback and no explanation for quoting
LTI I think you have a problem, why do you continue with this nonsense? You have repeatedly made untrue statements about what I have actually posted, misquoted posts, tried to assert untrue associations, etc. and continue to do so.
Shall I continue? :-)
Thanks LTI, I shall continue then: 3. "Sub 60 following ex div then'' Again, no reference to buyback made and clearly validates "but you have certainly indicated a drop in price after the buyback" is untrue Share price at time was very low 60's and just before ex div, didn't it go sub 60? not sure what you're trying to show by quoting this, seems a fair and reasonable post to me. Shall I continue?
Thanks LTI, glad to see again you agree what you said I had posted was not true. To summarise so far : 1. "He said it would drop to 54p when the buy back completes," confirmed not true 2. "but you have certainly indicated a drop in price after the buyback" - confirmed not true Shall I continue? Although I can see that you get upset and irratated by anyone who has a view opposite to yours please do keep calm and accept that people are entitled to post their views, and in the interests of the forum don't try and harrang people to sell up, stop posting, misquote them negatively etc. Fully appreciate that not everyone is as highly intelligent, experienced and knowledgeable as you clearly are. It's fantastic to have your considerable knowledge and experience on here to guide those of us who are not as knowledgeable, intelligent and experienced. I genuinely do not mean to cause you any offence and value very much our interaction on this forum. I think we all have the same goals on here to see Lloyd's prosper to their maximum.
LTI, glad you've agreed what you said was not true - "He said it would drop to 54p when the buy back completes,"
Next:
"but you have certainly indicated a drop in price after the buyback" - not true, in fact just for you I've gone to the trouble of looking at what I actually said which was to suppose the opposite :-)
Shall I continue? I must admit I'm starting to feel the pressure.
Again genuinely not wanting to cause offence in any way but please do be more accurate when inferring what posters have actually said, I know you wouldn't ever want to knowingly distort the posts of members to try and cast them in a negative light.
Thanks LTI, again I'll take that as you accept that your statements about what I have posted have been made-up, twisted and simply untrue e.g.54p etc. Conversely I suggest rather than me stopping posting that if you are going to make statements about peoples posts that you at least make them accurate, I know you can do it!
Again, apologies if you're upset and frustrated.
LTI, well that's a whole load more inaccurate intimations around posts I'm supposed to have made, any more fairy stories? :-) Seems you now accept that your statement about what I was supposed to have posted was not true. You seem fairly wound up to try and discredit me, I must have really offended and upset you, apologies!
Again I'm flattered at your concern for my position and also knowledge, even if inaccurate :-), of my posting history
Keep on stalking :-).
P.S. As referenced my poorly executed gamble pot purchase and extremely poorly executed dabble pot purchase is for short term trading and my long term hold is for well long term holding.
P.P.S. Not meaning to offend you in any way, chill!
