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 @ 399 = 822
Lloy 1905 @ 45 = 857
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 @ 527 = 1769
Lloy 1553 @ 45 = 699
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 @ 219 = 841
Lloy 1512 @ 45 = 680
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 @ 146 = 699
Lloy 1504 @ 45 = 677
In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 3964 = £1479
Lloy 1704 @ 45 = £767
In April 2020 Theosus asked that I add Circassia -
On 14-4-20 £1000 bought 3891 CIR & 3058 Lloy
CIR 3891 @ 36 = £1401
Lloy 3058 @ 45 = £1376
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 @ 93.4 = £1002
Lloy 3367 @ 45 = £1515
This week's observation - uneventful week for fantasy stocks, Russia/Ukraine hostile takeover rattles on/war crimes, Russian flag ship sunk, Boris banned from Russia, Covid Infections, hospital cases, & death rates remain high, Cost of living bites, Party fines for Boris & Rishi, UK Illegal Immigration Rwanda policy launched, Lloy goes Ex divi - £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 @ 45 = £6750 = +33% over ~24 months
2nd real deal
4-3-22 I bought 8,500 Lloy @ 44 = £3740
Current value -
Lloy 8500 @ 45 = £3825 = +1.3% over ~6wks
