Marginal fall of -0.04% in the month v. a similarly small FTSE fall of -0.08%.
Big moves elsewhere as I make a further bank purchase, returning to a previously owned share (pre. 2009), Lloyds, and one that burnt me with its purchase of unwarranted risk when it took over HBOS.
Does that now make the then PM the political version of "that Scottish Play" that shouldn't be named.
Nope, the supposedly Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown, has had a few mentions in this blog, and all for destroying wealth. Starting from the sell-off of the UK's gold reserves at around $275 per ounce, to the robbing of the pension tax credit, stock market sell offs triggered by regulation related to the balance of fixed interest/equities, which could ultimately have led to the privatisation of Standard Life (it being forced to sell equities at the bottom of a market when its declared strategy was long term hold for recovery), and possibly even the fall of Equitable Life.
Anyway I digress, not that I have any strong opinion of that Scottish Politician!
Back to the story in hand in my purchase of Lloyds whilst still under some public ownership but fast recovering even against the backdrop of PPI. The prospect of dividends and capital growth in the longer term, from a very low base.
