"As the share price ebbs monthly ever lower." Average SP over the last 12 month's = 66.87p Average SP over the last month = 65.89p Closing SP last Friday 65.56p in the same ballpark IMO, hardly ebbing away (WL, NC, K)?

Good news for your teenage prodigy perhaps and maybe bad news for Lloyds, who knows. It's a market economy.

Well that's a good start to the day, contributors getting filtered, leaving the BB, insults flying around and everyone's correct. Sounds like the LSE Lloy BB, love it. If all comments were restricted to "Lloyds connected" there wouldn't be many posts.

Donegal voted no by 51.9% to 48.1%, wonder if they will want another referendum just like some I could mention.

Some weird thinking there Herbieirdesaga!

Yes when people dream up outlandish schemes for alternative currencies essentially to eradicate debt is one thing, but when prospective governments do it you know the system is on the slippery slopes.

Wonder what they are doing about Greece this summer? It appears the Greek bailout is complete, apparently they don't need anymore funds, however they do need more monies to repay the interest. Now the EU want to involve the IMF as they don't feel confident enough to deal with it internally. It's seems the Euro is not as strong as they thought........more QE anybody!!

If we remain Tricky we go down with the rest of em but only after they have bled us dry trying to bail em out. Alternatively after we exit we can watch from the sidelines, it's called damage limitation. But you're right I would like to hear a remainers view of EU utopia.

allforone UBS are restricted to a percentage of the volume of buybacks each day. They cannot buy more than that regardless of the price. Asperger1 point taken.

I agree Asperger1 about reinvestment, also some are waiting to exit on any actual rise, but I was thinking longer term i.e. after the dividend is paid Lloyds cash/equivalents will be depleted by that amount therefore theoretically they will not be worth as much.

allforone what is your rationale........'as soon as the divis are paid out the price should be a lot higher'?

International companies having second thoughts about doing business with Iran. Dismissed by jayfax at the time as irreverent because it threatened his beloved EU but it's already beginning and sanctions aren't implemented yet. As I said at the watch this space.

UK inflation for April dropped to 2.4%, are these rates ever going to rise?

Just keep collecting the dividend, capital growth comes later. You have a choice with the ex dividend date so close (1 week tomorrow) sell or collect the dividend and watch the SP retrace.

But of course it's highly probable the the EU will get a trade deal with Australia that's because we cannot negotiate any trade deals until we leave. We, the UK, play by the rules, our word is our bond. Just another example of the EU fulfilling their protectionist policies.

AHO is a genius compareable to Asperger almost. Not going to argue that one. Blair is a deity who was pushed into it by 100% of Conservative MPs. There's no hope if you believe Blair is a god, conservatives (and the rest of us) were fed spurious information by Blair and that Campbell. DCB is not an automaton and does not repeat anything. DCB has repeated the title of his posts over 2 thousand times. Buybacks are good for shareholders. In the longer term they have been beneficial to many shareholders. Digitalization is innovative. Fintech is one of the fastest-growing areas for venture capitalists. We can reach a �1 per share, with a 2 for 1 script swap That's the quick way, but we want added value. The last suggestion definitely 100%.

If we hold 67p today that'll be a step in the right direction.

Probably have SUFCESSEX but it will happen, they will be right one day, nothing is forever.

By the time PPI finishes there will probably have been a market correction by then so I expect your right SUFCESSEX, but not from these levels. Hope I'm wrong mind.

I saw that after two years he got so fed up with the dynamic labour leadership decision-making process he thought sod it I'll resign. Mind you by resigning does that means he will be able to join again sometime later? JC said he was sorry to see him go, what a shambles, this is the official opposition.
