Asp1 Good to see you back posting putting in some common sense. Not sure what has happened to Newchurch? I don't always agree with the degree of the points but often has good points. Enjoy the diving probably a bit different to the Barrier reef if you got to see it on your travels.
Wiz ''Not sure what has happened to Newchurch?'' She is now 'KERN' (so knc)
Wizard.previous dividends as per Aspergers not added.Like for like comparison.
ASP - in search of Sir Francis Drake's bowls maybe?
Usual Saturday update, I started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various posters perception that Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dog of a share', on the 8th Oct 2016 I invited WL/Newchurch to choose an alternative ftse 100 company so I could run a comparison On 8th Oct 2016 - 1000 quid bought 206 BP. shares & 1905 Lloy shares Today's value BP. 206 @ 564 = 1162 Lloy 1905 @ 67.1 = 1278 In April 2017 Invest4life suggested I add Glencore - On 22-4-17 - 1000 quid bought 335 Glen shares & 1553 Lloy shares Today's value Glen 335 @ 386 = 1293 Lloy 1553 @ 67.1 = 1042 In May 2017 Pugsy suggested I add Ocado - On 22-5-17 - 1000 quid bought 331 Ocdo shares & 1392 Lloy shares Today's value Ocdo 331 @ 554 = 1833 Lloy 1392 @ 67.1 = 934 In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS - On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy Today's value RBS 384 @ 294 = 1129 Lloy 1512 @ 67.1 = 1014 In July 2017 Utrickytrees asked that I add BARC - On 30-7-17 1000 quid bought 479 Barc & 1504 Lloy Today's value Barc 479 @ 214 = 1025 Lloy 1504 @ 67.1= 1009 This weeks observation - BP. getting close to catching up with Lloy, RBS jump this week on fine news, Lloy continues steady recovery following ex divi Overall conclusion - A very basic comparison that does no include divi yield, IMO anyone still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dog of a share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing. #Buyback those dips but Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1
Figures speak for themselves.
Inspection of Lloyds shares under any basis of reality shows that it is without doubt away undervalued.If this was a new Share coming to the market by way of an IPO the price under consideration would be circa �1.10 to �1.30.Given it is a constituent of the footsie 100, pays a 5% dividend and is well funded with a p/e of around 8 currently all our Brokers would be ringing to extol its virtue`s and telling us it is a must buy going forward.The buyback would be featured as a positive and the PPI conclusion next year likewise. Simply put this would be a no brainer. We as shareholders are lucky to have it at this price and selling should not even be contemplated.So don`t.To those with time I say hold and then hold again. The only negative I see will be dealt with in due course,and at worst it will only slow where are heading.Hence I will not state it. Nobody sells a golden goose.
Lloyds may be a thoroughbred race horse but put it in a muddy field tethered to a plough it ain't going anywhere. The muddy field is the UK economy and the plough brexit. Lets just hope it doesn't break a leg.
No matter where,a thoroughbred will always be a thoroughbred. Remember one step at a time.
what an incredible comparison- can you please tell me if this share is worth hanging on to or shoud i sell this article is quite sobering if true https://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2018/05/12/beware-the-siren-call-of-the-lloyds-share-price/
1947,my honest answer is that nobody can tell the future. I can only say I am not here expecting to make a lot of money out of Lloyds and therefore there is no doubt over the next ten years numerous shares will outperform them with ease. The difficulty is knowing them now which isn`t possible.If you are in doubt it is quite possible a tracker fund may well be the way for you.I believe a balanced portfolio is best personally but you must decide for yourself as only you know what financial risks you are prepared to take. Good luck whatever you do.
Get rid ali its crap.
This is worth thinking about , not much growth expected hear Lloyds expects to pay a total dividend of 3.39p in 2018. Imagine that you decide to hold the stock for the next nine years and it pays an average annual dividend of, say, 5p. You’d collect 45p. However, if the share price remains close to 70p over that period, which is possible, it would only take a share price slide of 64% or so to wipe out almost a decade’s worth of your gains. With so many better opportunities on the London stock market, I think avoiding Lloyds is the right thing for my long-term portfolio.
Would you like to name one of these 'better opportunities' livestock? #Buyback those dips A1

Asperger,Congrats to Pugsy.Drop Ocado and ask him to pick another stock so we can all get stuck in. Thanks.
Lloyds shares have fallen 7.6 percent in its first year free from government ownership after a bailout. That makes them the worst-performing stock among Britain's four biggest banks with rivals RBS and HSBC climbing an average of 10 percent in the same period. Investors fear that Lloyds as the biggest mortgage lender, with a market share of 20 percent, has most to fear from a low interest rate environment that makes finding profitable lending opportunities for banks difficult.
James - my experience of Pugsy it's a fair bet he either never bought Ocdo or sold out just before the big rise #Buyback those dips A1
Livestock - fingers crossed Lloys will get it's own 'Ocdo' moment one day - Chinese or US approach? #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1
Asperger1 I've got everything reinvested in lloyds I do believe the next 2 years are going to good for Lloyds investors . It would be good to hear from the CEO press release or interview on YouTube, bloomberg with his views on lloyds . He's in portugal at the moment banning on about their economy. He got to attend a meeting on 24 May institution shareholder service its about his pay and bonus . Let's hope we get some feedback
