Talking of Sunaks 5 pointless plan. Apparently there are TEN illegals on his first flight to Rwanda. How VERY pointless. How very expensively pointless. The illegals know they have more chance of winning the lottery than ending up on one of Rishi's flying solutions to the immigration crisis. Its totally pathetic
Right hows the NHS pointless part of the pointless plan going?

From the employees perspective, no-one likes commuting if they don't need to, but I imagine the fears of redundancy is a large part of the decline in staff satisfaction, particularly when the cost of living isn't coming down that much and job supply seems to be tightening.

diku
it will be a five pointless plan, same as Sunaks 5 pointless plan and Millibands 10 daft commandments. They are pathetic Sound Bite men, full of wind and not much else.

Buffet was just lucky with his picks. He once said his worst investment decision was buying Tesco. Had he held, he'd be in big profit.

LLOYD may go higher looking at NATWEST , BARC, SANTANDER,

So Starmer's 3 point or 5 point or 10 point plan will come to nothing...

LLOY, ITV, VOD, three examples of companies that have given up and in the midst of buy backs. I'm making money on all of them.

Congrats

Lloyds, like most Banks, is bust essentially.

Vod is a disaster, and has been for at least a decade.

Itv is the jewel of the three.

ITVx has exceeded my sceptical assumptions. And boy does it have alot of trash for the working classes.

I was “being like Buffet” when I kept my INTU and CLLN shares.

Sick of hearing daft mantras that actually depend completely on what shares you choose, which in Buffet’s case is a result of vast amounts of research and detailed understanding of accounts, which most pi’s haven’t got time or ability for.

In any event, the only companies even thinking about doing buybacks should be those where the share price is on a massive discount (say 50%) to TANGIBLE NAV. Where each £1 used means £2 of tangible assets are split between the remaining shareholders.

P'Oreilly: 'I would have thought lloyds was the perfect example for those sceptical that buybacks increase the price.'
Not when the BoD keep awarding themselves so many zillion new shares. That's a core reason the share price (for the rest of us) goes absolutely nowhere for years.

Don't they drive the dinghies back to France?

[utrickytrees] 16/5/2024 18:17

All kicking off in France then. Nectar for le Pen.

S32 and BAE had buybacks.. no complaints here :)

SP now 55p so not complaining about lloy either.

[hardup1] 16/5/2024 17:57

After 57 trading days, buyback complete to date:
Total shares to date........................1,231,671,793
Aggregate cost to date... ..................£622,826,521.29
Average price paid to date..................50.5676p
Percentage of £2 billion buyback completed..31.14%

Not perfect by any means, all three were showing losses for weeks or months. And all three turned around once buy backs were announced, which was my point.

I think special dividends are the sign of a company running out of ideas. Buy backs ultimately reduce the shares in circulation, result in a higher EPS, and therefore dividend, and should, down the line, lead to an increase in share price.

[alphorn] 16/5/2024 17:24

Very much depends upon the time those shares have been held. ;))

Well done with your perfect timing.
