Luckily or not? I sold out of standard chartered a while back than god , still incurred a £1000 loss.
Hey ho. Yep this looks a very good company. questor recommended it about 6 weeks ago. So got interested. Looks a decent bet for the future. Definite hold for awhile for me.
Hope you are doing better than me:-). GSK, AstraZeneca Oxford biomedica all down (for now).
At least I’ve covered my back by buying defensive funds although I have two aggressive ones in China which at this moment in time are zooming, probably until next week. Ha!
Seaking1: sorry typo error meant to type BRITVIC Go for it
Seaking1: Had I known you were interested in this Company I would have recomended it to you on the Standard Chartered Board back at the end of July. I hope you are still holding those shares . Another good Company to buy at the moment is Britain where a decent increase can be expected over the next 12 months ATB
Just bought @510 looks a decent company in a strong area.
Dont worry its trading the peaks- up tomorrow..... will too 550 area within 2 weeks- in at 505.....
see the share price falling today as felt the latest news was pretty positive.
Being a Newbie I find the results very satisfactory and a Company actually paying a Dividend in these times. Well Done AVST
Disappointing reaction to results, but not surprised, there appears to be sellers when price reaches 600p. Keep for long term.
More likely holders don't like 25m being donated without having a say
Overdone. Free money.
Surprised with the drop as seems like a good report.
Perhaps caught in a move from 'lock down stocks' to 'reopening stocks' but I'm happy to top up personally as get feeling the UK don't appreciate how to value tech stocks.
Looking to hold this long term too so a pull back, especially on good news, is fine for me.
Ahh ok thanks. Yes, They are doing well, if they play their cards well, it should lead to higher short term growth.
Its a whole page focussed on the story of the CEO Ondrej Vleck. He was the company's 6th or 7th employee and is clearly a very clever and motivated guy. I think Avast has a very bright future.
I don’t have Times subscription, but anything good in it?
Good article about Avast in The Times today.
Goldman Sachs initiates British cybersecurity co Avast PLC AVST.L with "buy" and a target price of 600p - highest
among brokerages covering AVS. "Avast set to benefit from increasing work-from-home trends in a heightened cyber risk environment", says GS.
AVST is the "winner" in a cyber-risk world and that market under-appreciates co's opportunity for earnings growth,
says GS, adding that it sees an attractive opportunity ahead of co's first-half results.
I texted Morningstar re absence of Avast and several other companies- see my previous post. I note that this Sunday the Times now had included these companies and Morningstar was no longer supplying the data. I know that CEOs are 'very busy' but I would be somewhat miffed if my company was consistently not listed (as far as I can recollect Avast has been in the top 200 UK shares for several months and yet it is only last weekend that it appears). I suspect that the CEOs read the Gruniad!
I guess there's the adage 'buy on rumour, sell on fact'. Maybe the sp has risen on the expectation of a FTSE 100 move and now it is reality, profit taking is occurring. However, I think we ought to get some improvement as tracker funds start buying up parcels, and maybe they won't start doing that till Fri afternoon (because of the inevitable Friday deflation effect), or Monday.
With the view of joining the FTSE 100, any reason for the 5% decrease over today?

LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - EasyJet and cruise
operator Carnival are set to lose their seat at the top
table of British blue chips after the COVID-19 crisis knocked
the value of their shares to below the threshold of London's
prestigious FTSE 100 index.
Companies which could enter the index include cybersecurity
firm Avast and Ladbrokes and bwin owner GVC,
which many investors thought would suffer greatly from the
crisis with so many sporting events cancelled.

Answer is next month
Can anyone explain why Avast is not listed. Likewise Abcam, TPicap,AJ Bell and Greencoat UK. They are all in the LSE top 200 or is Morningstar somewhat useless?
I just posted an analysis of Avast: https://youtu.be/BoaeUaInw7U
Impressive revenue & net income growth and a great play on the ever increasing popularity of the internet. The only negatives I found was the jump-shot scandal and large shareholdings of original founders. I cant help but think that the recent hysteria surrounding the corona virus can only have been good for Avasts sales.
According to stock challenge AVST is now the top ranked FTSE250 company and sits in automatic promotion spot to FTSE100.
Excellent performance from this great company during these times.
Yes its a quiet board for such a successful company, the recent hiccup with Jumpshot aside. When the Covid-19 started to impact I reviewed my portfolio and put this in the category of "hold and buy more if it falls too much". This I did and today's RNS confirms that this was the right course of action as from a value creation point of view its actually probably going to be a positive as the trend of more people working from home accelerates. In terms of share price growth I'm expecting 20% a year on average for the next 5 years. It won't be a straight line but it would be boring if it was.
