Forget about the buyback nonsense, it's done absolutely nothing to Improve the Lloyds share price

Jax yes it is high, just not quite as high as before, but not dropping as quicky as expected, that's why they have reversed the decision on cutting interest rates

As for vod and bt very similar, they have not been rewarding shares to be invested in fact they have been capital destroying shares, and i'm not convinced they ever will be, for myself i'm just hoping they can at least make some gains from this current very low sp, so i can sell up without such a large percentage loss, thankfully i have not over committed to this share, but saying that nobody invests in a share to lose money, it is what it is i'm afraid

It may get better of course, but it wont happen overnight for sure

Never fails to disappoint this one, maybe a complete dividend cut would be the best way of getting this out of the 60s&70s

It looks like it's going to be a very long journey back to a £1 again

when you get into bad times like high inflation and interest rate rises,Its usually the company's with heavy debt that struggle the most, let's see if there's any improvement by the summer

best of luck all

Dan, it's just a bit of a laugh mate, surely nobody takes anything they say serious

Let's hope something good can bump the price up tomorrow

Have a good week mate

Roofer, it's heads or tails with that one I think, let's hope there is a good market reaction to it

Cheers

Gutter, you has to be more positive thinking for us, we are caught in a trap and we can't look back, that's Elvis you know

Wish us Luck

We could do with another push up towards 2.60 now, let's hope we get a better week

70p for me please roofer, it would be nice to see this heading towards 80p , let's hope we get some good news here for a change

If you want a fund that doesn't invest in cigs/or ammunition etc, then take a look at lgen future world, it's doing very well also

Hi guys, I spoke about that with sidi with regards to lgen as it reached it's peak last year the day before results day then dropped down, it then started to rise again on approach to exdiv but didn't get back as high

with all that's been going on there are no two years the same anymore to compare, we will just have to see where they go I confess i have a terrible track record for timing these things myself

good luck whatever you decide to do

Gutter here's a song for you by Duffy, don't rain on my parade lol

Dan. That will be very interesting to get a reply from mole on that, can we all have a shot ?

Mole_man99, I totally agree with you, I have 9 funds mostly international and all making profit, individual shares i have 3 in profit, that's lgen/mng/aviv, then i have 3 in loss, direct line which dropped around 50% due to inflation having a bad effect on it's profits, so it then cut it's dividend, Lloyds my largest holding has been a big disappointment i actually got back into profit recently at 47p thinking i would sell some off if it got to 50 but now it's dropped back to 42p, persimmon i'm nearly in profit with, as for Vodafone, well i am hoping this has reached it's bottom, i last topped up at 86p so hoping it can at least get back to 90p and i will make a decision then, I've no idea what the future holds for Vodafone guys, but like the rest of you i hope it can and will get better

maybe it's just me that's rubbish at picking shares, like mole says the good one's are compensating for the bad ones

but please feel free to give your own opinions

Hi Dan, I apologise if you think i was rubbing anything in, that most definitely was not my intention, i am losing money here myself, obviously the whole point of us risking our money on the stock market is to try and get a better return than we can get in a bank or building society, but of course total return is what we need to look at and not be blinded by the dividend, as some have mentioned maybe we will get more growth here if the dividend was cut, i'm not sure how that would work out, but we do all need to think about what accumulated growth we think we can or expect get from this in the next 5 years to make it worthwhile

yes nice rise today mate let's hope it can continue for us

best of luck all

Had you put that money in a basic tracker fund such as fidelity index word, you would have had growth of 80% over 5 years, much higher with lgen global technology fund, it makes you think?, i'm in loss with vod as well, i just don't like selling at a loss, more fool me perhaps

Good morning sidi, well you would think the shares would keep on rising up to results day and exdiv, but the World is so unpredictable lately, I've no idea which way things will go, but unless they reach a really good price, there's always the dividend to fall back on, mng/aviv and lgen are the only three shares i currently have in profit,I would prefer it if a couple of my dog shares started rising so i could get rid of the dead wood

have a good day my friend

Dan, are you able to invest in funds with your lse account

Oops I meant 240 of course not 140

Sidi. i would be happy with 140 here, whenever i see the lgen rising to a new year high, i think of you with your finger hovering over the sell button lol, i will be curious to see when you press it, i know you won't be able to resist

best of luck mate

Gordon57, That sounds like a very serious question, and i'm not sure anyone here would want to answer it, but please be aware there are a few clowns on this board who are just wind up merchants, so please DYOR and be very careful

best of luck to you
