I have £2.60 in mind for selling some off before exdiv and should it drop to 220 something sometime after will probably buy them back
But if it doesn't reach £2.60 no problem i will be happy to hold and take the dividend
LTI, I just hope this can change direction and work out for all of us, and let's hope it can be as rewarding as other investments, I will just use Aviva as one example as i spoke to you on there the other day, it's a bit of a journey into the unknown with this one isn't it, let's see where we are after the May results
Gary, nice to see a bit of humour back here, hopefully the may results may cheer everyone up, it all depends what you want from this, if the share price stays down low then i expect the buybacks would be beneficial to long term holders, i can only speak for myself, personally i would like the share price to rise above my last top up of 86p as soon as possible, then i would have choices hold or sell depending on how i felt about it at the time, each to his own as they say
LTI, It's very difficult to predict how well a share will do no matter how much research anyone does, this share is a typical example of that, i don't think any of us expected this to drop down this low, but this a chat forum where people can share their opinion, not somewhere you go for financial advice
Try and cheer up a bit mate
LTI, you explained to everyone how buybacks work and your opinion on it, and i think most people are gratefully for that, but what you seem to have a lot of difficulty with, is you don't seem to be able to accept that other people may have a different opinion to your own on the end result of it, and you insist on having the last word keeping on and on and on about the same thing like a broken record, resulting in insults if anyone doesn't agree with you
I know you are new to this board, so maybe you have just got off on the wrong foot, do us a favour and and try and accept others may have opinions that differ to your own
Kev, this guy has clearly got some mental issues mate, he makes guttersnipe sound normal, totally obsessed with having the last word
Hopefully it won't be too long before the men in white coats come to take him away
He actually thinks this has been a good investment dropping all the way down from £2,55 ffs
Dan, i will probably get shot down for this, mng just gone exdiv, aviva & lloyds going exdiv 11th april, lgen going exdiv later this months, meaning the share prices will soon drop, all good dividend payers, remember the divi is going to be cut in half here next year, i know you are probably not interested, it all depends where you think you can get the best total returns for your investment
but best of luck if you are investing here next week, it;s easy to look up past performance as i did the other day, but trying to predict where you will get the best return in the future is a lot more difficult
have a good weekend
LTI
The market decided to give Lloyds a lower valuation today (market cap) than yesterday.
The share price is 53.32p
Without their buyback programmes the share would would currently be about 44p
so as a result of the buybacks you are saying the share price has benefited by 9.3p is that correct
LTI, just an estimate, by how much do you think the 4 bn buyback could increase the share price by, we know the markets determine the share price on a daily basis, i'm just asking by how much do you think the buybacks should increase the sp by
