[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The Lloyds (LSE:LLOY) share price has endured a volatile start to 2025. It’s been weighed down by the motor finance mis-selling scandal and renewed tariff threats from Donald Trump.

These DIY pension accounts offer a wide range of investing options, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investment trusts, and stocks. But is it best to buy UK or US stocks? Here’s what I think. New York Put simply, there’s no right or wrong answer. But a lot will depend on what age someone is. I still have a couple of decades left before retirement age, so my own SIPP’s still largely oriented towards growth stocks, many of which are in the US.…

But while the big moves have come from the US, UK investors have been focusing on the FTSE 100.  Data from AJ Bell and Hargreaves Lansdown indicates that UK retail investors have been focusing on a handful of names. And one in particular stands out. Buying and selling In terms of what investors have been buying, the lists are identical.

One well-known FTSE 100 share has seen its price collapse 39% over the past year alone. It is a share I have held for a while already.
