Usual weekend update
I 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 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 @ 391 = 805
Lloy 1905 @ 51.2 = 975
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 @ 422 = 1414
Lloy 1553 @ 51.2 = 795
In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS/Natwest -
On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 Nwg & 1512 Lloy
Today's value
NWG 384 @ 235 = 902
Lloy 1512 @ 51.2 = 774
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 @ 191 = 915
Lloy 1504 @ 51.2 = 770
In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 3659 = £1365
Lloy 1704 @ 51.2 = £872
In April 2020 Theosus asked that I add Circassia -
On 14-4-20 £1000 bought 3891 CIR & 3058 Lloy
CIR 3891 @ 39 = £1517
Lloy 3058 @ 51.2 = £1566
In April 2020 TheBoard asked that I add RollsRoyce -
On 25-4-20 £1000 bought 322 RR. & 3367 Lloy
Today's value
RR. post 10for3RI 1073 @ 117 = £1255
Lloy 3367 @ 51.2 = £1724
This week's observation - fantasy stocks mostly down, Covid Omicron Infections dropping sharply - hospital cases & deaths also dropping, All covid restrictions on course to end this month, Storms hit UK, Boris witch-hunt continues, Russia/Ukraine - invasion looms? - Britons advised to leave, Lloy continues to withhold shareholder funds,
A very basic comparison that does not 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.
Real deal
30-3-20 I bought 15,000 Lloy @ 33.606 = £5040
Current value -
Lloy 15000 @ 51.2 = £7680 = +52% over ~22 months
