Resisted the temptation to sell. The new management seems a tad better (at least on the PR front) in keeping the shareholders happy. If goes as plan, this can deliver good div, as well as further price gain..... I kind of set target using AV's Feb-2020 price 410ish as pre-covid benchmark rightly or wrongly. Tomorrow is closing in. Fingers crossed.....
Hoping for good results here as it’s the kids pocket money invested , they’ve not done badly after bailing with a modest profit from Lloyds we stuck it here after it went x dividend around £3:20 ,
I can’t really say the board are doing badly if it risen nearly 20% should the final dividend be 15p that would be a great bonus for them , long term here for the kids
Fxpo. Big divi, growing sp.
I also own av of course! ??
CSDI1962 Think that was wise only selling 50%, i have put 50% of my aviva proceeds into tesco, if the price should drop, will reinvest the rest back in aviva
good luck to all you aviva holders, think i am going to regret selling too early, will get back in at some point
Hi Rob,
I have kept 50% of the AV shares, so more than happy if SP rises. My plan was to sell at £4 when I bought them.
I have redployed the proceeds from yesterday into another share/sector - buying SSE @£13.
SSE has been one of my best performing shares with 3 profitable trades between Jan 18 and Jan 20. (10%, 9% & 14%).
I have not held them for 14 months until today.
Results tomorrow - anything can happen and I did not want to risk losing what I had gained so decided on slicing off.
with most of my HY shares I am happy for a 10% profit or so, preferably plus the divi over 1 to 2 years.
I got lucky in H1 2018, with a number of successful trades.
Since then I have suffered mainly with a number of big drops like IMB, RDSB, BT, VOD, and my trading side has been very poor. So now I am back to one trading (PFC) and the rest in LTH for HY divis.
Cheers
My p/f is geared towards divi income as you will be aware from previous messages.
CSDI1962 I've got a feeling, you might have made the same mistake as myself, selling up aviva shares, as the price i think is going to keep rising, and will be difficult to rebuy at a lower price, also lgen is rising sharply as well
but good luck
CSDI... well I have £70k. Half were bought at £2.79... I'm looking return of 50% at least and will hold on as long as it takes.
definitely a sector to be involved in when rates are rising and aviva itself is doing the right things to aid in its rerating. i think you want to be buying the dips in this as well as those in L&G and DL with the latter a candidate to be taken out sooner or later
Good luck CSDI. Also have funds ready to top up if we see a significant pull back post results.
with the nice little rise so far this week I decided to go "half'n'half" by selling 50% of my shares today at 374p.
After buying at 333p early December, made a tasty 13% profit in 3 months with the help of the 7p divi.
Still got half my holding which I can now hold until results come out on Thursday.
My plan is to buy back in if we have a pull back, or buy LGEN (results next week) if shares rise sufficiently.
The reason for selling is that there has been a lot of pull backs on good FY results over the last month, with only a few good rises on results day which have mainly been for the "bombed out" sectors. Insurance sector has held pretty well since the March lows last year and AV is now a few percent above where it was 12 months ago. This way I am trying to get the "best of both worlds" so wait to see how the market does me like a kipper this time !
Cheers & GLA - CSDI
Brill, agree with what your saying. This week we had a spike in yields, inflation will come and along with it an increase in rates (eventually). If your investing for the long term AV DLG LGEN are no brainers. Sit back and relax while tucking the divis away. GLA
IMO you should sit tight. We may have had a few downs but the overall direction is up. We’ve all taken a hit this week but with over £6 Billion coming in to a business with a market cap of £13 Billion and a PE of 6 the upside should be worth waiting for.
Hi B@x
Looks like your timing was pretty good after all. I was hoping to sell half my AV at 380 this week but missed the chance and kept holding waiting for a good SP to come back. Not sure I want to hold all when results come out next week as most FTSE100s have been kicked down with good and bad results. But now we have this drop since Tuesday I don't know what to do. My cost is 336p and my original target was £4, but I would be happy to lock in some profit before results day if I could. The SP has a good 3 months five pull backs of around 20p like this week. Will it bounce or sink before results ?
Monday is a new week and new month - would be nice to see a decent kick start like we've had last couple of months.
Cheers - CSDI
This hasn’t treaded water, it’s got a slow rise to it which I think we support above £4. Aviva is going to do well, it’s going to make very sustainable, long term growth and cash which is very important. Very safe, secure and reliable share
Treading water as in around the same mark, a penny here a penny there not a 5-7p swing,
Hoping the results are good the kids have their grandads / pocket money here rather than in a bank and so far their 12% to the good .
I sold a few the other day thinking the sp might pull back and retest 350p but holding up remarkably well at the moment. Hopefully a good sign.
It must have been treading water all the way up from £2.50p in the last 3 months
Not sure you’ve got a handle on this, rtb, the market is down yet AV. is still moving north. Hardly flat, is it?
All eyes on the final results , until then this will tread water unless any exciting news hits the desk
