Hi Loser, I'm in the same boat as you and I too used to work for Lloyds. I'm hoping for a big jump in price when they finally sell NZ bank. Does anyone have any idea if this will be the case.

When they sort out thier problems at Scottish Widows (Loss making) and as long as they don't have any more nasty surprises still to come!

hi chrissie, hi little woman

if my wish came true, the scottish widow fine would be less than they accounted for, the new zealand sale would be more than the city expected, and nicole kidman would be knocking on my door (our door).

Dividends again - if you hold the shares on ex-div date, do you get BOTH the interim and final dividends

No. You must hold the shares at the close of business on the day prior to each ex dividend day. You can sell them after the start of business on the ex dividend day if you want.
It does not matter what you hold in between each dividend, as long as you have shares the day before each ex dividend day.

Lloyds to sell Scottish Widows to Prudential???????? Fingers crossed!

Snappy - I find these charts really useful. I am happily sitting on Lloyds at the moment!
