I been here supporting / backing The CEO and Lloyds Bank Board for over 10 years taken some right punches over the years on the Lloyds Chat boards but I never stopped believing.
But I am like you, I am also really struggling to move on from this unforgivable / uncaring Cancellation of our 2009 Dividend and while they still allowed to pay the staff bonus pot for 2019 via the back door.
Its left a right bitter taste in my mouth and I also struggle to forgive and forget today.
Its easy to anyone to say move on , especially if they just traders, I am an Lloyds investor and dividends was really going to pay my bills in 2020 ......
lets be honest today, I cannot even be bothered to post , its like bandit country, why are some people so rude, people I meet will say this to anyone face to face.
I truly feel, I been kicked in the balls here by our CEO and he not a tough enough to stand up for anyone.... he's even happy to carry on regardless to pay millions for pounds of staff to sit at home doing nothing .... its not just contractors ether . last week I spoke to a branch staff member, he been told to stay at home since March as there's no branch work, they only need limited staff, where he works ... he's Doing on 5km walks daily and loving it . don't blame him.
He just happy to give away shareholders money willy nilly to anyone you shouts loud enough
There was not consultation with shareholders at all, even a 50% cut to 1.25% say, IMHO would of been better and remember we talking about the 2019 final dividend that's not nothing to day with 2020, that's was already announced by Lloyds EOY update ....
Seriously thinking I going to have to start trading to get my money back here .... BUT got time on my side and going to sit and watch over the next 6 to 12 months, as I know once I start Ive got to accept if this trade goes against me it probably be my last, close all trading accounts for good.
My first Lloyds buy in May 2009 was 72p
I thought Lloyds was a solid investment that was going to pay me into my retirement in dividends and you only lost 50% to 100% capital on poor AIM stocks
Now Antonio announced he's personally taking on the HBOS scandal .... god help us ... the £200 put aside going to balloon , he needs to be stopped, its not even his money to throw away like confetti , he is needy type and wants the seen as an local hero and be loved by all at shareholders expense
I bet his next move will be like follow Carney and want to save the world, telling us what and how to live our life's and all come vegans, all making love under the sunset while smoking weed. peace man ...
