Ah good, the talk of shotguns has begun, the bottom must be in sight :-)

You confessing to Lloyds bashing JamesRoo? - wonder what your motive could be ???

I note 'Lloyd bashing' is still alive and well,
So let's see a Mid-week update

I started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various posters perception that Lloy is 'the worst share ever' 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 @ 246 = 507
Lloy 1905 @ 32.5 = 619

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 @ 132 = 442
Lloy 1553 @ 32.5 = 505

In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS -
On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy
Today's value
RBS 384 @ 129 = 495
Lloy 1512 @ 32.5 = 491

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 @ 83.3 = 399
Lloy 1504 @ 32.5 = 489

In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 2150 = £802
Lloy 1704 @ 32.5 = £554

This weeks observation - Covid19 fear continues to have a devastating affect on the market, good to see Lloyd has faired better than most, looking forward to my market leading yield

Overall conclusion -
A very basic comparison that does no 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.

Ah - if only us Lloy board posters were running the country lol

Paul -
Lloyds and other banks are very different beast compared to the last 'crisis' in 08
After 08 Banks were force to build up huge facilities to cope with future events
Even if those facilities were not sufficient, as in 08 - our government could not allow banks like Lloyds to fold

It's important to understand that some people benefit from creating panic in the market - It's also important to understand that it's in no one's interest to totally destroy the market or our capitalist system - in due course those same people will benefit from rebuilding the market - feel so sorry for those who get caught out by stock market plays - It's a cruel game.

You will know when the market is turning when the doomsters start talking of panic buying beans and shotguns lol

IMO - DYOR

Very true Bookie - many business's will go to the wall - the strong will survive - would have to worry about the new 'startup/challenger banks', will they have the means to survive???

So happy the Lloys board made the correct decision to be prudent with our excess profits - very wise - respect - is why they get paid the big bucks

UK plan IMO -
Generate Herd Immunity = allow the strongest to catch and recover leaving the virus no where to go - during this lengthy process over 70's and the weak should protect themselves via self isolation - likely we may loss many loved ones before their time

As we used to do with measles/chicken pox - Lets get the CV19 party's started !!!

Faulkes - people were employed during 2019 - the dividend reflects the earning during 2019 - in what distorted imagination is it inappropriate? or are you just trying to ramp up the panic?

Pantherax - "Hoping the prices stay low for when I get the dividend though"
Ditto

Congrats to those able to take advantage of the ultra low SP during these extraordinary times - a concept JamesRoo's brain cell is singularly incapable of comprehending

Herd immunity = allow the strongest to catch and recover leaving the virus no where to go - during this lengthy process the weak should protect themselves - likely we will loss many loved ones before their time

Gungi - 2019 results and it's associated divi has been announced and I can't see it being changed - Like me, I'm sure many rely on their divi income
Looking to the near future, we have Q1 end of next month, if profits allow, why wouldn't a small buyback pot be announced along side the quarterly divi

Chartists - How are we doing regards historic low level gaps?

Can we string the paranoia out till divi pay day please?

Jl5006 - fitting mini carwash to the letterbox as we post lol

Also buy 0M2B

Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Office - up to 80% of population could be infected over coming months and 1% of them could die

80% = 53million
1% = 530,000

I'm not leaving the house till they develop a vaccine

Buy Online delivery companies

Oh - that explains it - the Beeb sure aint what it used to be
lol

Eh ???
"Not since Black Monday in 1987, when shares plunged by 10.8%, has the index had a more torrid day of trading. That was only trumped by the following day, when shares plunged 12.2%."

Let me get this straight - the day after Black Monday was more torrid? - so shouldn't that read "Not since the Tuesday after Black Monday in 1987 . . .

lol
