I hope they do not restore dividend so soon.
they should invest while everything is cheap. imo

Thanks for the link Skinny. I think it says, in essence, that there is no longer a ban on paying the dividends but not that they are necessarily going to restore them. LLPE yield is now 8.4 pc - if it's paid. Should have bought a week ago when it was nearer 10 per cent!

the board of lloys are taking the piss out of investors and customers
3.2b lose on ppi and they take back 1.5m what a bloody joke daniels still walked away with golden parachute and a nice pension pot like the rest of the board
the only losers are the holders . as for the chairman he should of been sacked the day before he was taken on he is a joke

They took the risk, but have not stolen the money.

I think, the cut in bonuses help other directors act more decisively and look after the business more carefully.. The results isn longer term is 100s of million pound rather than the £1M.

not with a sick CEO who is useless

Kevin - I missed entry points on LLPC, LLPE & BBYB, even though they were on my list. I have GACA & GACB and I'm also after SLI - have a look at GLIF.

Skinny - My best holding is in NWBD from way back and, although now a little over par, is still appealing . Like you I have some GACA and I'm toying with CPBC. GLIF looks a bit esoteric. I'll check it out overnight.

i hold LLOY for the long term. is there any merit to buying LLPC/LLPE for the same long term hold or would it be more prudent to buy more LLOY as they are cheaper?
anyone care to voice an opinion.

Alex

gone from 3.2b to almost 4b for ppi and still more claims to sort out

Kevin - I have LLPE as ex dividend today (22/02).

Tanker,
We should ignore PPI and move on. 90% of it is done.

ahoj they are not even half way fact still hundreds of staff working on it
then they wil lose there jobs would you rush

5000 still working on ppi claims what are they going to do when it is finished

A 13-year-old girl was plied with alcohol and repeatedly raped by a gang of Asian men, a court heard yesterday.
She was one of number of schoolgirls targeted by the gang of 11 men, who gave them drink and drugs before they raped them.
The vulnerable children were passed among the group and sometimes forced to have sex with several men in one day.
The young girls, who all came from broken homes, were often too incapacitated by drink or drugs to be able to fend off the men, it was alleged.
The jury heard one 13-year-old girl became pregnant by one man and had the baby aborted, while another teenager claimed she was raped by three men while she was being sick over the side of the bed.

this is the uk today what have we done allowing these evil humans in to our once
safe and happy country

Skinny - Thanks for that. I have a small Birmingham Midshires compensation rump holding. Should have bought a shedload a couple of weeks ago.

Roberalexander - I think LLOY are a good long term hold but it will be surely some years before they resume dividends. And then they will fly. LLPE and the other prefs paying around 8 per cent are also a good hold but check out that the divis have resumed. Which is better? Ask someone with an actuarial discipline, a calculator and a crystal ball. For me, looking for income, locked in at 8 pc looks good. I hold both.

PPI...they are giving money away. I know someone who is to receive over £2K in 'compensation' no way did he ever pay out anything near £2K in insurance!

Another day - flat

ppi to cost over 8b .
and they have so far only paid out 40%
