Trading statement announced this morning - appears slightly positive imho in that they expect " to deliver a satisfactory trading performance in line with expectations". there appears to be no reference to the full yr dividend (disappointing) and they are now meeting with the analysts before end of Dec. Shares have bounced 9p by 8.30am, though in light of Saddam, this is nothing to write home about. it will be interesting to see whether any analysts change their stance after their meetings.

Had a good run recently until the last few days and today
WOW! its a-going-upwards!!!!!

There should be a 23.5p dividend due to holders on the 25th of Feb. Probably helping sentiment a bit?

Didn't realise one was due so soon..

Hasn't been officially announced yet but the last wed in feb is its usually date.

Thanks brian!!!!

Moneyam is very quiet on LLOY vs Advfn. Is anyone out there a regular trader? LLOY has had a lovely run up recently and (with Scot Wids) I guess it has been helped by the good performance of LGEN, PRU etc. Chart still looks good but a fair bit of resistance expected between here and 5.Any views as I tempted to sell ? (FYI my main holdings are in LGEN,RSA and LLOY so I am pretty exposed to financials !).

I have a feeling but believe me that is all it is, but a feeling that
475p may be a hurdle along with whatever their lowest price was some
weeks back when they dropped badly 390-ish (?) you would have to check
the exact figure if you were interested.

Reason for the feeling
It's a case of nice round profit margins for people...if you bought in at the low it wont be that long before you are looking at a straight 1 profit per
share and that will tempt a lot of people I am sure. AS for 475p..well
again it's a nice psychologically neat figure in a way and it did
stumble a bit at 450p another nice neat figure..

Follow your own instincts, do your research and believe in your own
judgement it's as good as anyone elses!!

LLOY is an old favourite of mine. Currently showing a very health profit, and am struggling between selling now, and hoping to buy back before the div. or sitting tight!

Exactly and I think there will probably be a lot of people
umming and ahhing in the same way! I have two small holdings
one bought for the dividend and the other when the price was
low and it is great to see it go up but there are tough decisions
ahead for me too!

Know the feeling guys - I sold this week when they breached 470p. Based on fundamentals and the departure of the FD i felt they had had a good run and that i would rather have my money elsewhere. this is not to say they won't go higher but with the dividend pressure still around and the fsa apparently fining a bank a week i decided to get out. if they do drop i will likely get back in, but good luck to all holders

They've made it clear that the company is being run for cash and will be a lean, mean UK only operation (possibly a prime target for takeover at some point - the divi yield is more than a predator would pay in interest on capital). They've little or no dollar exposure (good thing), a most attractive yield which is looking increasingly safe and which is almost forcing income funds into buying. Another 15% on the price would not surprise me and the yield ,even then, would still be attractive.

LLOYDS TSB : Heading towards 486
In the short term, look for the rally to
continue. The next up target is 486 (July
high). Key support for maintaining the
immediate up trend is 445. A break
below here would call for a slide to the
critical support at 420 (previous
resistance).
In the medium term, above 486/490,
the next likely targets are 506 & 577.
(TRADING CENTRAL)

Thanks for the info folks. I have sold my LGEN today as well as some spivvy stuff like RTD but am proudly hanging onto my LLOY (and RSA) for a bit yet. Who knows ?
