Purchase – Lloyds Banking Group PLC

We’ve taken a little slice of the UK banking sector on-board with today’s purchase of 774 Lloyds Banking Group shares at £0.6719 for a total outlay of £520.05 plus dealing costs.

On the back of a ton of re-structuring news of late, hopefully Lloyds can put a horror stretch behind it and make us a quid or two into the bargain. If it can – a little belatedly – follow in Barclays footsteps, we’ll sure be onto a good thing.

Banking, I know, I know, not overly green and ethical, etc, etc. But at the end of the day wherever we can make a quid and pass it on as a loan via Kiva can’t be a too bad a thing?

I’m backing Lloyds as well, and bought a load yesterday. They seem to be making the right noises.

Thanks Mark, appreciate your comments. Agree about the Lloyds noises, let’s hope it’s reflected in the SP :-)
