Ahh, to buy or not to buy....that is the question!Was hoping that one or two directors would have recently topped up in a big way to give us all a guide
have added modestly to my AV position in last few days.
turbulent markets, world in a rather febrile state, so am
mostly tending to just sit and twiddle my thumbs, and
just let existing positions ride for a while, for good or ill.
Nothing in particular affecting Aviva. most financials are down a similar amount.
I have Alphabet, apple, Facebook, Microsoft. Recently sold Tesla. A few pharmaceutical companies. In ftse av. Lgen, nxt, bdev Unilever, naked wines and a few AIM gambles
I dont regularly monitor my Aviva shares as they have been doing well and continue with healthy dividends.Any reason for the continued slippage in the sp over the last couple of months?
Thanks PVI1, I'm ISA'd out on both of ours this year and last. BP fills one, and the other has the golden eggs- AV. and LGEN. I have periodically buggered about with my SIPP, AV+LGEN+ MNG, but whilst I am close to being able to start drawdown I'm also far enough away to maybe need that money!
Since November when the vaccines hit I have done pretty well, even making money out of RR!
I paid to have someone do my CGT last year, as I was daft and didn't transfer some of my day trading stocks to the Mrs. Lesson learnt!
What stocks are you holding, if you don't mind me asking? My 2 worst months are Jul and Aug, then it's AV/LGEN/MNG/BP. Then quiet Nov/ Jan/Feb...then the wheel goes round again.
Pete. Don't you have everything in a share isa to avoid tax altogether. 20k a year 40k if you use your partner's allowance.
This is not the time to be selling! I hold a fair few and every investment I make now is going into AV. The special, in conjunction with rumoured buy-backs put quite a shine on this stock. The present divi isn't to be sniffed at, at 21p, and if you are tax savvy you can avoid obvious pitfalls legitimately... if you are over the £2k tax free allowance. A careful use of CGT is also quite easy to do.
Once the special is announced and the share price reflects it, I am going to top up LGEN and the BP in that order. Once they are paying what I want I'll add more MNG, and finally a good dose of SSE.
I'm done with going for growth, divis are where it is at now.
Tremendous hes like a 12 year old.
Just so you know, I hold apple, Microsoft and Alphabet shares amongst many other us stocks. This doesn't mean av. Is a bab share. I bought here in the 230 range and traded in and out all last year. That trading has given me an average in av of under 2 quid a share, so that gives me a fantastic dividend going forward. Please grow up a bit . Be diverse in your holdings
Could well be the potential big special dividend some investors are not them keen them i not , buyback are much better long term for the company a number of large investors have expressed they would prefer buyback and pay off debt personally i think they do all 3 special dividend will just be not has big has some investors want
Wonder is there any reason for the sale of larger chunks of shares recently- especially with special D expected
Just bought in recently and hoping dividend paid in Cash despite the wishes of larger institutions
Probably whistling in the wind in that regard
In any event I expect to stay around for years to come and enjoy the usual dividend payouts
He's obviously made some very poor investment decisions and been burnt. Very bitter and twisted is old Morris minor 46

yes buy anything US really , you chat **** , I have both UK / US and my UK dividend stocks are better than my US stocks , so don't buy ANYTHING US
Yes, buy anything thats US and sell anything U.K, its terminal. Aviva, hsbc, gsk, bt, the list is endless, capital destructive dividend sxxt.
Get as much as you can inside ISA or pension tax free or sell and take as capital gain once announced.
Pete, I think it will be just the 7p dividend in August, any announcement on specials/buybacks to be later in the year or with annual results in Q1 2022.
Still a month away, but what are you folks thinking? Maintain the 7p divi, but announce the special will come, or maybe blow us all away and announce the special there and then.
I've held and added for 4 years now, but £7bn to hand back...30-50p per share held? Could be a huge hit for dividend tax, after a £2000 limit bust?
so I vote against the remuneration ...and I always vote against the accountants ..not sure my titchy holdings carry much weight with any of them but!
if you hold shares with ii, you are prompted to vote...if you hold shares with HL, zilch.
Hardly surprising when you consider the members of the Remuneration Committee are mainly main board members as well. Conflict of interests?? Perish the thought.
Answer: if sufficient shareholders unglued themselves from the parade of pap fed to us by media fatcats, took notice of the companies they invest in and kicked up an almighty fuss when voting each year something might change. Until then and in light of cosy lunches indulged in with IFM's nowt will change.
In 1980 CEO salaries world wide were 28 times average employees wage by 2020 that multiple had risen to 376 times average of employees wage. I hardly think performance has matched that in crease ?
Interesting times we live in ,
Just buy more on the dips. Everyone should have made lots of money in the last 12 months on most ftse 100 or 250 stocks
"Beyond the control of the BOD."
The last ten years haven't!!
Beyond the control of the BOD. The sector and market as a whole is in the doldrums today.
Another auspicious day in the life of we Avivanos. Why the hell we pay our BoD such massive salaries is beyond me. No doubt they will cop for big bonuses as well while presiding over share price which is lower than the same time 10 years ago WITHOUT taking into account inflation Talk about a Gravy Train
