[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images BP (LSE: BP.) shares can be found in many UK investor portfolios today. It seems that investors are drawn to the oil giant’s ‘blue-chip’ status (it’s one of the largest companies in the Footsie) as well as the dividends on offer. But have the shares delivered for investors recently? Let’s see how much £10,000 invested in the shares five years ago would be worth today.

But it’s been a terrible week for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock, pummelled by falling European sales figures released on Tuesday.
