''I would not be happy at buying until after the US Presidential election and I did at 27.4p''
Did you change your mind as you said that you were sitting on cash until the end of November.
The US election is not a driver for the Lloyds share price, it is the battle with Covid 19 and to a lesser extent whether the EU can get a trade deal with the UK.
Asper
but that doesn't make it a good investment. You cannot deny that even before the pandemic the LLOY sp performance was poor. For example, in Jan 2020 I bought 100,000 LLOY shares at just under 60p, the price then declined before the pandemic to around 50p. On the 13 March I sold with a huge loss at 36p. On the 19th March I bought DTG (JET2) at an intra day low of 1.94 which is now trading at £12.
I was one that was saying that the LLOY sp would fall to below 25p and it did. I also posted that I would not be happy at buying until after the US Presidential election and I did at 27.4p. Now I am gambling on the sp recovering as more and more uncertainties disappear.
We can all be selective on what we compare. Is LLOY the worst share ever? No but your comparison does not make it a good performing share either.

"Thanks Cookoo - I maintain it for my own ref - when I hear posters say things like 'Lloy is a dog' or 'better else where' the fantasy portfolio provides reassurance that my long term hold strategy is safer "
Absolutely my friend ! It's a real eye opener and I'm certain most of us on here are extremely grateful for the time you allocate to keep us informed of the weekly variance .
All will come good eventually , specially if RR provide us with mini N reactors in a handful of yrs , to enable us to become self sufficient power wise .
Keep well bud !
Thanks Cookoo - I maintain it for my own ref - when I hear posters say things like 'Lloy is a dog' or 'better else where' the fantasy portfolio provides reassurance that my long term hold strategy is safer than thinking the grass is greener else where, just hope the PRA will release us from the divi ban soon, but this 2nd covid wave ain't helping!!!
hi asp i do like your post with all the comparisons , i invested 27k on various mainly 5 co, lloy being a big factor over 10 years ago ,my portfo is now only worth 26K so what do i know? hey , i have left the divis in and bought and sold various over 10 years what do i know? by not taking out any money i now have 3 times the amount of shares in said 5 companies when this covid is over and brexit is behind us divis start paying again ca ching fingers crossed

Feel free to start a similar fantasy portfolio Lloy v Pharm & gold producers - I'd be interested to see how it compares as the economy recovers and a vaccine is developed
Asper
with that comparison then you would have lost half your capital and only made a £39 profit with CIR. Pity there are no gold producers or pharma companies in that list. You cannot compare like for like when your trolley is full of apples, pears and spuds. The reality is LLOY is 25.9p

Morning Theosus - coffee time this sunny but cool morning - time and time again people have called for Lloy to be more adventurous - due to the boards wise prudence it looks as if the bank is well placed to manage provisions for the current crisis
"We had to take the last 8 months on the chin, but it's only a learning curve of life really :-)"
You'll need a chin of iron shrimper, this isn't ending anytime soon. The past normal is spent, the new one will be totally different - life but not as you know it Jim.
Looking out of the windows passengers on the steady bus also note the numerous sports cars that have crashed and burnt !!!
I still have no regrets buying into Lloyd's today
Crazy I know
The world just got to live with these new virus and all learn from our past mistakes
Time to start paying our Dividends again and get back to the new normal I say
We had to take the last 8 months on the chin, but it's only a learning curve of life really :-)
Clean hands and wear a face mask going forward, even the common cold will be reduced massively going forward.

Theosus - the fantasy portfolio clearly demonstrates how most have been adversely affected by Covid, will be interesting to monitor the comparisons as the economy bounces back and the divi ban expires
