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 @ 392 = 808
Lloy 1905 @ 44.6 = 850
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 @ 528 = 1769
Lloy 1553 @ 44.6 = 693
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 @ 216 = 829
Lloy 1512 @ 44.6 = 674
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 @ 145 = 695
Lloy 1504 @ 44.6 = 671
In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 4021 = £1500
Lloy 1704 @ 44.6 = £760
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 @ 44.6 = £1364
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 @ 94.3 = £1012
Lloy 3367 @ 44.6 = £1502
This week's observation - Mixed week for fantasy stocks most up but banks down, Russia/Ukraine hostile takeover rattles on/war crimes?, Ukrainian visa delays, Covid Infections, hospital cases, & death rates still high, Cost of living bites, Knives out for dishy Rishi, 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 @ 44.6 = £6690 = +33% over ~24 months
2nd real deal
4-3-22 I bought 8,500 Lloy @ 44 = £3740
Current value -
Lloy 8500 @ 44.6 = £3791 = +1.3% over ~5wks
