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

~~~ This week's observation - Swingy week for Banks, Russia/Ukraine peace deal???, Israel/Hamas peace deal???, Trump/Iran War ceasefire!!! Cost of living continues to rise, strikes strikes strikes, Labour take a kicking in the Local Elections, Starmer refuses to resign! Reform win over 1400 seats, UK set to face Summer of discontent? Labour still on course to crash our economy, fuel prices out of control, Food prices rising, Inflation rise, cusp of recession? Small boat landings cross 200,000 under Starmer's Labour, #IslandofStrangers, Labour Party leadership/PM challenge imminent? This Gov. is an absolute joke! Grooming gangs inquiry fail! Benefits reform! Two child benefit cap scrapped, Two-Tier Justice? Compulsory Digital ID's? Have we ever seen such a SHAMBLES of a Gov. before? Beyond embarrassing! Reform now largest by Party membership, Reform pledge to keep triple lock, Reform and Conservatives pledge 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 the benefit of divi yield and buybacks, IMO those still suggesting lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' should maybe consider premium bonds?
