And this board is chock-full of absolutely irrelevant gibberish from the usual suspects.
Can we get these people their own room to clog up. Preferably a padded one.

"why are you saying they can influence the share price when obviously they can't?"
"without the buyback the share price would be lower."
How are you not seeing this obvious contradiction. You said yourself without the buyback the share price would be lower. Therefore they can influence the share price. Therefore the email that started this whole chain is lying.

Yes I did and I understand the reasons for a Buyback. I am querying why the email from LBG would say that they cannot influence share price when they obviously can!?
Removing shares from stock will influence the share price as you have said.
I am saying why would the LBG guy who sent that email say that they cannot influence share price when the only benefit to shareholders from a buyback is that the share price should increase from a smaller number of shares in play.
Either they can influence the share price and he is lying in his email. Or they can't and the buyback is a giant waste of money.
"we have no control over the share price, and it is set by the market"
What is the benefit of a share buyback programme then??
and more importantly who cares
These boards are so much better if you just filter him
Agreed Brixton.
What I don't get is how Barclays are just 1.5% down when Lloyds is 2.5%
How many people are there in this country that are unable to use online or telephone banking? I fail to see the business case for keeping branches open for such a small portion of customers.
you are old fashioned.
What's everyone's thoughts? A good rise yesterday but with word of Oil embargos from the US I think we might see a drop again today. Long term it's still a BUY for me but volatile times.
Why would there be any bank defaults?
Makes a lot of sense, everyone will be affected purely by how interconnected everything and everyone is these days. I just wonder given brexit and LBGs divestment policy thereafter if the UK markets and LBG specifically will cope better than other firms and other economies.
The whole reason we divested away was so that we were insulated from foreign events after Brexit, is this going to help LBG in the long run (in comparison to other banks)?
what in gods name is this guy on about
The stock is up nearly 4% today. How is that unlucky?
Honestly it's embarrassing. Grown adults arguing over stocks that are out of everyone's control. LSE needs to do a better job moderating these boards.
Do EasyJet regularly make trips to the BVI do they? Short haul trips are their bread and butter and this news can only mean more butts in seats.
Announcement's have previously been about 5pm.
what news is causing this increase?
