TFE - I'm concerned to see a gap at 53 - wouldn't be surprised during the summer months - So lucky I don't need to risk trading

I trust TFE will read it as a reply BJ

It was a reply to TFE BJ

Respect to who are brave enough to trade TFE - would you be tempted to sell your remainder at the current SP?

Davy Research has upgraded its rating for Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LON:LLOY) to ‘outperform’ from ‘neutral’ and said the lender is its "preferred play" in the UK banking sector.

The broker’s analysts noted that Lloyds will return a third of its market capitalisation to investors in the period 2019-2021.

The relentless buybacks continue at a bargain price - thank you sellers

Wonder if we might see some Tory candidates ask for their hat back from the leadership ring lol

While I respect Mrs May's efforts to find a soft exit I'm afraid all she's done is leave the wound open to fester and rot, if the leg has to come off - best do it quick & clean

Who uses snail-mail these days?

We already do!!! - buybacks were approved at the AGM

As May & Cable announce they are standing down - Is Corbyn next?

Nice work Stroller - good some are keeping count

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 @ 545 = 1123
Lloy 1905 @ 58.5 = 1114

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 @ 261 = 874
Lloy 1553 @ 58.5 = 909

In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS -
On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy
Today's value
RBS 384 @ 217 = 833
Lloy 1512 @ 58.5 = 885

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 @ 149 = 714
Lloy 1504 @ 58.5 = 880

In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 3348 = £1249
Lloy 1704 @ 58.5 = £997

This weeks observation - on going Brexit uncertainty and 'sell in May' weigh on both banks and the wider market as a whole,

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.
