I observe that, of the shares selected as competition, 4 are loosing heavily, 2 are at par and one is making a profit of circa 11%. Moreover, Diageo has benefitted from people drinking themselves silly at home as a response to enforced incarceration. I extrapolate the following inferences from the data.
1. Collectively our choices are poor.
2. Timing of purchase is critical.
3. Macro factors are hugely important.
4. Picking stocks in not simple.
5. Fundamentals are secondary to momentum in this corrupt market.
Those who think they know lack the capacity to recognise their own limitations. It is an almighty casino that could collapse in a heart beat eradicating wealth and pitching prudent, conservative, middle-class investors into an abys of penury during retirement. If the stock market crashes, or inflation takes hold at plus 10%, the system is doomed. We shall try to fall back on property assets en masse, but they will become a false haven as governments, desperate to fund unpayable debts, seek to tax immobile wealth. The ramifications of the Pandemic have not been fully considered. Negative interest rates will sound the death knell. In this context the increase in value of Bitcoin to $50,000 is perfectly sensible.
Bitcoin is s the currency of criminals and that’s why the powers that be will squash it.
Pippa Peaches, I would be interested to know if you see yourself as transgender? You seem to be a little mixed up at times.
"Bitcoin is s the currency of criminals and that’s why the powers that be will squash it."
Right. Crypto currencies will be restricted or banned. Any threat will meet a hammer.
"only strong men who think rationally."
Well that is this board scuppered then.
Fiat is the currency of central bankers and according to my definition of 'free market' their manipulation of interest rates and QE is genuinely criminal. The criminal's preferred currency is high denomination, globally recognised, exchangeable fiat e.g. 500 Euro and $100 notes, hence the war on cash advocated by Andy Haldane and Ken Rogoff.
"Fiat is the currency of central bankers and according to my definition of 'free market' their manipulation of interest rates and QE is genuinely criminal."
Indeed. Always were criminals aided by governments - what's new!

Aspergers1 I find your post very helpful and would love to see Gold and Bitcoin included as a reference point.
Baffled/2D please feel free to start/maintain a separate Lloy v gold/crypto comparison - could be very interesting & dramatic
Personally, learning from the impact of covid on my income I will be looking to acquire some 'security' gold when the price drops below £1k, crypto way to risky for my taste, bubble about to burst?

Same here. The Lloyds tranche i bought in March/April 20 is in 30% profit. However, the losses accruing in the purchases made over the last decade completely dwarf the profit made on investment in April 20.

This week's observation - Covid Infection rate and hospital cases continue to drop, Schools reopened, with half adult population already jabbed vaccinations moved to groups 5 to 9, PM get his jab, vaccine supply issue may cause delay for those under 50
A very basic comparison that does no include divi yield, IMO those still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing.

Let's not forget what was projected for 2020 results had it not been for Covid
2020 projected results
Q1 Underlying £2.0bn Pre tax £1.6bn post tax £1.4bn divi 0.674p June
Q2 Underlying £4.0bn Pre tax £3.2bn post tax £2.8bn divi 0.674p Sept
Q3 Underlying £6.0bn Pre tax £4.8bn post tax £4.2bn divi 0.674p Dec
Q4 Underlying £8.0bn Pre tax £6.4bn post tax £5.6bn divi 1.51p May = 3.53p total (cost~£2.5bn) + £2.5bn buyback
But, Covid happened and we all have to live with it -
IMO Lloy has held up well, it's underlying strength will shine through as we emerge from this crisis, all eyes on Q1 to point the way,
For Lloy as for me -
Good money to be earned during a crisis/slowdown/recession
