held up well until lunch time, what happened then? Still it closed with little difference, market down a tad too. Good luck with your top up tricky, it will look cheap in a few years time. madrugada, these have had a good run lately. The results were good maybe others were expecting even more. Trump can only blow shares so far. Sentiment can change more than you socks, so buy the dips.
up @ 363 . This has pretty much tracked the index today , trackers etc doing their thing. Bonkers ,commonsense demands that this will be @ or above this sp around the mid April LDR. OK, that ignores the possibility of a shake down when Brexit is declared . But the div should support.
The results are good and normally warrant a share price increase of a few percent but the market has been in a negative mood since Tuesday. HSBC's results seem to have soured sentiment. Companies that reported ok results have seen there share prices fall. Is market sentiment turning?
down because markets are down looking for a 2 percent raise when the FTS goes back up
look good as expected, maybe better than my expectations and the consensus link. Don't think we will be buying any shares cheaper today unless some fat fingered trader makes a mistake. I suppose my mistake was not topping up more but I'm not going to use hindsight to beat myself up Lets see what they have to say at 09.00
19.82p up 8 percent I'll take that, tar very much.
https://www.standardlife.com/dotcom/investor-information/consensus.page Looking good for tomorrow.
Well I'm expecting Approx 19.5p for the year so you are in the ball park. I would be ok with that.
Anyone like to guess this year's final divi amount? I'm going for 13.08pps up 6%.
I think they will have done ok, Brexit is a concern but nothing has happened yet and it might be another year or so before this might get affected. I suppose it will react to the new environment if and when it changes. For me, its the growing divi year on year which I like, I wish more of my shares "plodded" like this one. OK the SP has its ups n downs but add on the dips and you shouldn't go too far wrong. Could be right that its rising because of this weeks announcements and likely to fall back slightly post events. Will be happy if that divi gets bumped again.
that this is rising just prior to the results on the 24th , if good we might be in for a re- rating.
Hopefully a new annual high to chip away at............................
Impressed how many of us were introduced to shares through Standard Life. I agree it is a plodder but it is one of the few shares I always feel you have an inner confidence with. I also used the Scottish Referendum and Brexit to top up which demonstrates the strength and resilience of this share bouncing back from both events fairly quickly. Any drop in the markets of significance now, this is the first place I look for a buy opportunity. Bring on the next 5 years.
Courtier, welcome to the SL BB. I don't believe I have seen a post from you on this BB which, compared to some others, does seem to have some wise old Investors on who post sensible comments. Your approach mirrors mine. I believe it was 2006 when SL de-mutualised and I have invested small-ish amounts since then, the biggest a day or so after that Referendum when the Price dropped like a stone, as it did with every other Share. I don't hold my shares in an ISA but as a stand-alone and for many years now, the Dividends have paid for short stay European breaks. I have said for many years now that SL is a bit of a plodder but it is one of the most reliable plodders in the FTSE 100. So far as what will happen in the next 5 years or so is anyone's guess.
Standard Life got me into owning shares when they originally distributed them to members around 2005. I held them for years and took a good profit, as well s earning strong dividends. I learned how to trade other shares and now hold a portfolio of 10 companies in my shares ISA. Currently SL return about 5% and they must surely be one of the safest investments in the footsie 100. I am using the current lowish price to invest a small sum monthly to get me back into the company that started my investment. This should even out fluctuations in price but at the cost of waiting five years for any real return. Whether I have chosen a good time will depend on what happens in the next five years.

My thoughts exactly when I saw that rating yesterday.....think I'll hold though, just in case Santa does come early!
Broker Deutsche report on this site.....wait for it.......on the 13/12/16......rate SL a hold.....with a target price.....................................................of £23.00/share.....suspect someone has been on the Xmas sherry a bit early
what does the RNS mean to SL anybody no
Is a bit of a speed bump in the road. Dealing with India is always difficult and they change the rules afterwards and back date them, ask Vodafone! Still it looks like the deal will still be pushed. Camboy - a profit is still a profit and probably worth holding even if you didnt want instant profits MAO3 - It has been up and down like this a few times now price-watcher - SL starting with a 4 seems a while away right now but I suppose things can change fast
bought some at 369 as temporary home for cash earlier in the year. Sold today at 375 plus got a dividend. Not massive but beats building soc. Now more to spend towards Christmas.
