Brixton, I am not a royalist by any stretch of imagination but the question you have to ask yourself with the royal family is do they offer value for money? Do they bring more money in than it costs to have them?
Lti , thanks for trying to explain it. I am in favour of share buy backs and reducing the amount of shares in circulation just not sure this helps this aim. Don’t worry about trying to explain again, I’m sure it’s me being a bit thick.
Yer, I get that . The bit I am struggling with is why they didn’t just hold onto the shares they bought back if they was always planning on doing this ? I also thought the plan was to reduce the amount of shares in issue but doesn’t this counteract the buyback?
Help me out here, I am obviously well out of my depth.
Lloyds bought back loads of shares to throw in the bin and and in theory as there are less shares each share is worth slightly more or at least owns slightly more of the business . But now new shares are being issued ? And given to staff as part of remuneration?
Surely if this was part of the plan they should have just held on to the shares bought back. Would have been a good idea to let share holders know as well rather than tell them how much value the share buy back created for them.
That’s about 8p a share if it all gets handed to shareholders.
State pension is under review because we live longer and draw it for longer. Women as a group live longer than men by about 5 and half years . Simple answer , they draw theirs 5 and half years after men. Equality and savings at the same time ??
