Anyone tell me whan the next date for dividend for lloyds is Thanks

Afternoon all,fingers crossed for a bid speculation story then.

R we liable to see a trading update in the near future ?

lloyman trading statement on the 16th i think

The Lloyd trading update is on Monday (13th).

Now, let me guess:

1. tough trading conditions generally, but
2. all divisions performing well,
3. no mention what so ever of whether the dividend will be cut/maintained/raised, (probably because they - the management- don't know themselves - surely if they were sure that the divi was to be maintained, they would announce this, if not only to support the share price + help defences against anyone looking to take a pop at buying them ?)

They are probably putting the last few years trading statements through a theasaurus to find different way of saying exactly the same thing!


Oh, and the other thing mentioned in the previous post about Stamp Duty. Though I dislike paying it, I can see the Gov'ts point for keeping it. If anything it might dissuade people/institutions from (more) day trading which would only make markets more volatile. They should be encouraging longer term share ownership. imho

No news in the sundays,that i`ve seen,anybody spotted anything.

paul - you don't pay stamp duty on CFD's ;-))
