TheFarEnd. The Glencore share buyback is different to the Lloyds share buyback. Glencore has specifically bought its own shares back, but not cancelled them in order to give them greater flexibility in managing their share capital leading to a reduction in their capital costs and then can be made available for sale, cash or transfer and cancellation at a later date.

Regulatory Legislation has existed since 2003 which enables UK listed companies to hold shares purchased through a share buyback programme to be held in Treasury instead of cancelling them, All voting rights and dividends must be suspended while the cancelled shares are held in Treasury.

bakerrabble & LennyMac. I do remember trading the share at the beginning of 2007 for around £59 before the first and second stock splits that occured in 2008 prior to the financial crash.

pintofhsb. The market will always determine the price of the shares. The share buyback programme will only enhance the current fundamentals of the bank eg. EPS and ROA. Agree the shares could hit 70p over the coming weeks and months.

The brokers chosen to conduct the share buyback programme will be a joint venture between Morgan Stanley and UBS and is expected to be completed by late November or early December at the latest.

1st of March tomorrow we could see the commencement of the £1.75 Billion share buyback programme begin in earnest.

Upward momentum in the share price should now hopefully continue. Investors are becoming increasingly positive about the outlook for the UK economy and a no - Brexit situation threat that has now substantially diminished.

The commencement of next month's £1.75 billion share buyback programme should underpin the current share price and in theory lift the shares higher over the coming months.

Steady on ! Kosso1. We have a £1.75 Billion share buyback programme commencing in March . Lloyds need to repurchase these shares as cheap as possible, a no-deal Brexit scenario could be very benifical for the repurchase programme.

Both going long or short are legally allowed activities on the stock exchange. There is nothing unethical in earning profit either by going long or short on a stock. Short sellers help to keep stock prices in check from rising above their fair value level and help keep liquidity volumes in the stock.

Played a key role in fuelling the US subprime mortgage crisis of 2007- 2008 who gave, and maintained a positive Investment A-grade rating for AIG and Lehman Brothers only days before their collapse.

We now live in a globalized world where Multinational Corporations show no loyalty, and only seek self-interest and profit. We will continue to see a shift of economic power away from the established advanced economies of Europe to the low cost emerging economies of Asia.

Another casuality to the fast growing Vietnamese and Southeast Asian automotive production industry, where business and environment and labour costs are only a fraction of the Western and European established nations.

Troajan. German car exports to China have slumped 37% in recent months and they are now looking to secure a tariff - free trade deal with China to preserve auto jobs in Europe.

Equally problematic is China's $22 trillion national debt that will soon reach its debt - to GDP level.

Its all about economies of scale. You cannot compete against the likes of Ryanair and Easyjet and their low - cost business models who keep their seats full and competitors scrambling for market share, possibly resulting in more airline failures in the world aviation flight market over the coming months

The EU are now paying a heavy price for a common currency union into a common debt union with Germany as principal paymaster. The German economy is increasingly looking grim and will soon be in need of a fiscal stimulus themselves in the event of a no - deal Brexit.

Wids. The country's debt crisis is fuelled by the government's lack of ability to enact broad economic reforms and increase productivity levels and to curb the widespread corruption of Italian bureaucracy costing the Italian economy 236 billion euros a year.

Glennhoss. If Italy is to maintain the confidence of the international money markets Italy must abide by EU budget rules and learn to live within their means, something they have consistently failed to do so.

The German economy is now clearly on the backfoot. The Italian debt crisis threatens the fiscal stability of Germany itself. I hope this is not vain attempt by Italy to push the Italian begging bowl towards the UK taxpayer at a future date.

Brexit will result in a huge boost for UK dairy farmers and lead to an unparalleled dairy crisis across the EU for their farmers. UK farmers will have the opportunity to increase domestic production to offset EU imports.

Gold is still a safe-haven investment, however the gold market is vulnerable to manipulation through electronic gold pricing, short-term rigged market trades and long- arm Central Bank interventions preventing greater transparency on the global bullion market.
