Started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various poster's perception that lloy is 'the worst share ever', 'better else where' or a 'dire share' - On 8th oct 2016 i invited wl/newchurch to choose an alternative ftse100 company, so i could run a comparison - since 2016 others have been added
~~~ on 8th oct 2016 - - 1000 quid bought 206 bp. shares & 1905 lloy shares
today's value, bp. 206@510 =£1051 v lloy 1905@52.2 =£996
~~~ in April 2017 invest4life suggested i add glencore - - on 22-4-17 - 1000 quid bought 335 glen shares & 1553 lloy shares

~~~ in sept 2018 motley fool recommended diageo over lloyds - - on 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 dge & 1704 lloy

today's value, rr. 1073@418 =£4485 v lloy 3367@52.2 =£1761
~~~ this week's observation - quiet week for Bank following Q1 results, russia/ukraine/israel/hamas hostilities rattle on - cost of living continues to bite, strikes strikes strikes, 1st Rwanda takes off, more flights in 6wks? Local elections, Mayoral elections, Starmer to stand down? GE Mid Aug?
A very basic comparison that does not include divi yield, imo those still suggesting lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' should maybe consider premium bonds?

Absolutely OLR - and some gaps never get filled,
What I find strange is that we have exactly the situation on the NWG chart, but not on Lloy - suggests trouble ahead - but makes we wonder what could adversely affect Barc & NWG but not Lloy
P.s. I'm a Barc and Lloy long term holder, but I wouldn't be looking at buying more Barc while those lower gaps remain, re NWG, HMG might sell off its remaining shares this summer
