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',
8th Oct 2016 I invited wl/newchurch to choose an alternative ftse 100 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@402 =£828 v lloy 1905@75.68p =£1436

~~~ This week's observation - Slightly up-ish week for Banks, Russia/Ukraine possible peace deal? Israel/Hamas hostilities rattle on, Israel/Iran cease-fire?, cost of living continues to bite, strikes strikes strikes, Labour on course to crash our economy as UK on cusp of recession? Record small boat landings continue #IslandofStrangers, Labour ditches more election pledges! Labour/Starmer's U-Turn just keep coming - Grooming gangs! Winter fuel payment! Benefits reform! Farmers U-Turn next? Corbyn/Sultana launch new left wing Party, Reeves crying, Rayner Suspended, Have we ever seen such a SHAMBLES of a Gov. before? It's beyond embarrassing! Meanwhile, 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?
