Lloyds Banking Group - LLOY - Share Chat

Hey @Armchair welcome to the community :ocean:

@bitflip is right, there are often lots of bits you can learn from reading the literature they produce for investors there.

If you’re just after dividends then Dividendmax let’s you set reminders for 10 a limited amount of stocks for free. I wouldn’t pay for anything as Freetrade have this feature on their radar.

DividendMax is brilliant but just to say it allows you to set a lot more than 10 reminders for free, I’ve got at least 40.

Thank you for the information, I’m fairly new to using Freetrade and buying shares. I switched when I decided crypto was losing me too much money.

I wonder if the outage of internet and mobile banking today will cause a price drop tomorrow. A lot of annoyed people and Lloyds being useless at communicating.

I’d be surprised if it did have any impact on market sentiment. You’d be surprised at how often there are outages like that occur across the sector

Lloyds paid their dividend yesterday but hasn’t appeared in my account yet? Anyone else got the same issue?

I haven’t got mine yet either. Also bt was due yesterday and haven’t got that one either yet. But they always come through so I’m not worried as no idea what I’m going to invest it in at the moment.

Freetrade have acknowledged dividends are taking longer than they would like to be paid at the moment - they advise between 5 and 10 working days (depending where you contact them) that they will be received in.

From recent experience, expect to receive any UK dividends a couple days after pay date and US probably about a week.

FT did appear to have an issue last LBG dividend, but let’s hope for today or tomorrow to see your cash arrive.

Thanks for that it’s really helpful. Mine always turn up and I’m never in too much of a rush thankfully. But always nice to know what’s going on.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Very true @Lenny they do build up in no time, if you are planning to keep them like me then I reinvest the dividend to buy more shares, which turns into more dividends in the long run to build a higher income over time.

If buying to achieve a better profit through share growth wait for another dip before topping up your current position :+1:t2:

Happy that’s it’s increase in share price so I’m currently in green by 2% but it’s mainly for dividends now have a good amount of shares will be good div payer if they don’t cut it?

If drops badly like pandemic maybe a good buying opportunity :slightly_smiling_face::+1:t2:

Anyone else noticed google is showing Lloyds’ price incorrectly. I opened my portfolio on Sheets which looked way too good.
