RE: Fantasy portfolio7 May 2022 11:40
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 @ 427 = 880
Lloy 1905 @ 43.4 = 827
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 @ 488 = 1635
Lloy 1553 @ 43.4 = 674
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 @ 210 = 806
Lloy 1512 @ 43.4 = 656
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 = 712
Lloy 1504 @ 43.4 = 653
In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 3784 = £1411
Lloy 1704 @ 43.4 = £740
In April 2020 Theosus asked that I add Circassia -
On 14-4-20 £1000 bought 3891 CIR & 3058 Lloy
CIR 3891 @ 33.5 = £1303
Lloy 3058 @ 43.4 = £1327
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 @ 80.3 = £862
Lloy 3367 @ 43.4 = £1461
This week's observation - Most all fantasy stocks down, Russia/Ukraine hostile takeover rattles on/war crimes, Covid hospital cases, & death rates falling, Cost of living bites, Local elections, Starmer under Police investigation, Lloy £2bn buyback program continues at pace
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 @ 43.4 = £6510 = +29% over ~24 months
2nd real deal
4-3-22 I bought 8,500 Lloy @ 44 = £3740
Current value -
Lloy 8500 @ 43.4 = £3689 = -1.4% over ~8wks
