It's not but it has been a very slow mover for many years in my experience.
Yes £3.0 in june , and we are now heading for return of a good dividend and struggle to hold 2.70, back then it wasnt as rosy , so very confusing. Im not sure why this is so unloved..
Hi Nick, yesterday's RNS presented a very rosy picture that's for sure. I think we could all be forgiven for expecting a reasonable boost in SP today, following yesterday's little leg up and of course it may well come. After all, we were trading close to £3.00 in June and I'm sure back then these results had not been expected. Just goes to show just how unpredictable this stock market can be?
So The results where good divi going up, just about to go ex and sp goes down, who said the market wasnt bent?
Reminds me of how I got into shares seriously after I noticed that EMG had fallen to, or below, 80p the risen to 90p and then fallen etc about 4 times in a row, and I thought of the money I could have made buying £100k or so on each low then selling on the high. I then did exactly this a few times before it traded out of the range. Prefer to pick good shares (aka LGEN) and hold these days as it's less work and it's not so easy these days to spend what you've made!
Absolutely NN, I concur with your strategy and have used it successfully over the years with a number of Companies.
Good morning to you bald_eagle. I only said 'maybe'. Please stop being so cynical !!
"Maybe tomorrow we'll see 280's, who knows."
=============================================
Today is another day.
Why is everyone so obsessed abut the SP going up? Does everyone else want out?
Keep buying @ 2.60 & Selling @ £2.70 (not this time though) and keep building your holding at this stupidly low price.
Keep the price in the range & trade them I say. That 7% yield is just a bonus on top of your capital gain.
Nope, it didn't get to £3. Kind of disappointed but 272p is much better than 263p. So, it could be worse. Mustn't complain. Maybe tomorrow we'll see 280's, who knows.
@SD235 ..... yup, i wondered what was going on too, thought maybe we'd had a nice solid rise in the afternoon, then i see the figures for gain that day and it doesn't add up !
I also hate how H&L don't display the share price, just the bid and ask
Yes it was a stupid post because it's on the wrong board. A thousand apologies and all the best.
Boring share yielding 7%
What is not to like/
The bid offer is very annoying it makes me look very well off in my Hargreaves Lansdowne account.
Very annoying
although on one hand its a great time to be an insurer, bond yields are falling and these act as a headwind for insurers as well as banks. i think once yields turn higher, you will see the banks recommence their move higher, along with the insurers.
Agreed, these should be well over £3 a pop - great investment in my opinion.
Great dividend yield on these. Surely these should be over £3 a pop.
SO what's your 3 year view? Which is best ?
Nuri......I hold both Aviva and LGEN in my income portfolio as well as BATS and IMB. The twinning method allows me to track relative gains and I have taken a 3 year view .
Not the same reaction for direct line yesterday.
unbelieveably poor price action. Results are far better than when they were £3+. UK stocks generally avoided at the moment and totally unloved
RR - good point. I have 2 holdings which are subject to bids at the moment (4 over the last year), and I don't think it's going to end there, particularly in the FTSE 250 stocks. At some point, the market will wake up to this, but Covid/Brexit fears continue to weigh on valuations for the time being.
Still woefully undervalued. Is it any wonder PE are buying up the Footsie? They recognise the value in our companies, while the UK market continues to behave like a surly teenager.
bald eagle most investors in here are happy to see this share go up and down.
When its down we buy on the dips, when its up we take profits and then reinvest those profits again on the dips.
Its a market but with this share if it languishes in the lows for a period of time we are still happy as its churning out a brilliant dividends Basically its a win win share.
The pundits (Ian Cowie for instance) and the brokers will push the price up over the next 3 months.
The 5% increase in dividends was what I was expecting BUT as usual the market expected more despite the clear statement by L&G that they were not going to increase the dividends by the previous 7%.
