Think maybe keep the share price above 30p sucker in divi seekers...then once ex divi it goes below 30p to around 25p - 27p to lock in those divi seekers...no free lunch...only technical bounces gives you free lunch if one has timed in/out correctly...

No extension. A fast deal or no deal. We can't effort to pay billions, especially now, to f#ck organisation.

Scum.

Just read an interesting article about car leasing..it looks like that is going to end badly for the companies that finance these deals.

Many people will not be able to afford their monthly payment and then trouble happens.

I know lloyds have exposure to this, but not how much, so another factor to consider.

I think things are going to get messy

Cancelling the dividend makes little sense to me if it is affordable to pay it. Remember many of the pension funds will be hit and the Government receives millions in dividend payments from RBS. There are also many who rely on dividends to supplement their income rather than relying on the state. The dividend should be paid IMO.

It's not up to us BUT...Some of you are really blind. For the sake of short no dividends period you are prepared to sacrifice the long turn dividends.It is not only the EU that may not survive this. Yesterday the UK's Deputy Chief Medical Officer suggested things would return to "normal" after 6 months of restrictions that might then be lifted. If these restrictions prevail for as long as six months thousands of businesses will no longer be in business, because of insolvency, bankruptcy and lack of any buyers with cash to spend. Supply chains will be broken. There will be a mass of debt defaults. The UK service economy itself will be on life support.

I would expect div to be halted, as it would be deemed inappropriate in current exceptional times. My Lloy holding is (apparently) very small compared to many posters. Just have to grin and bear it. A small contribution to the common cause. MU.

[ekuuleus] 30/3/2020 15:53

Alphorn they cant cancel any divis
on llpc and llpe. They have fixed divi that are not even announced.

Nor can they cancel any that are ex record date. That would break the law and in any event lead to a lot of court cases. In fact they are historic in all but waiting g for payment.

The government needs to test, test, test to establish a solid base of knowledge, not guesswork, about the spread and virulence of covid-19 among the population at large not just testing those the NHS staff wanted back at work. That way offers the route to a faster return to "normal" whatever that may turn out to be.

HoratioPosted March 30, 2020 at 5:58 am | PermalinkIm sorry John, the majority of the flights coming in are passenger not freight. Last week we were still receiving flights from iran, china and italy. We probably still are. My neighbours just returned from Spain. While we destroy the economy with lockdown, for what increasingly looks a less dangerous disease than seasonal flu, surely we should also lockdown passenger flights from badly hit countries. Indeed if we had shut the borders to these countries when Trump did, perhaps we wouldnt be having this lockdown now? Though doubtless we would still be bowing to the 'foot and mouth, ever back tracking scaremonger 'from Imperial College: You know there is something awry when climate professors from East Anglia support the models.It appears that the 21 yr old girl who tragically perished last week from natural causes was not a covid fatality as expressed by the coroner against the hospitals original cause (heart attack) The coroner had no legal right to get involved, was this politically motivated?. When will the govt clarify deaths from and deaths with covid. This lack of testing and clarity onlh benefits those desperate for more state intervention and Stasi-esque patrols on our streets.The French have now joined many US states in permitting the use of hydroxychloroquin/azithromycin, a malaria drug combination, for use against Covid. The results are very good. What is NICE doing to fast track approval for use in our hospitals?

Hopefully the dividend will be stopped.Share price is too high. I'll pay 15p.

30 Mar '20 - 09:36 - 298491 of 298513. good post.

France is using anti malaria tablets to cure corvid 19 in bad cases so why aren't we doing the same? Far eastern countries and even USA also now using it.

WTF is going on here? Get the drug out there for the severe cases and the rest of us can get over it as we do with the flu. Sounds like common sense to me.

We used to take anti malaria tablets for a full six weeks when in India and there were no side affects at all and we took them 18 times in9 years!

I've emailed our local Cons. M.P. and asked why we are behind the curve and not ahead of it like France.... no reply as yet. I said, I bet Boris and the other ill M.P.s have had the drug.
