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',

~~~ This week's observation - Mixed week for Banks re results & car finance redress, Russia/Ukraine rattles on, Israel/Hamas peace deal, cost of living continues to bite, strikes strikes strikes, UK set to face Autumn/Winter of discontent, Labour on course to crash our economy, Inflation rise, UK Growth down, cusp of recession? Record small boat landings continue, Starmer's 1in1out1inagain, absolute joke! #IslandofStrangers, Grooming gangs inquiry fail! Winter fuel payment! Benefits reform! Two-Tier Justice under Starmer's Labour? Compulsory Digital ID's? Trumps humiliates Starmer on World Stage, Have we ever seen such a SHAMBLES of a Gov. before? Beyond embarrassing! Reform and Conservatives to exit ECHR and deport all Illegal Immigrants, Farage still living rent-free in Starmer's head lol
A very basic comparison that does not include divi yield and buybacks, IMO those still suggesting lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' should maybe consider premium bonds?
