DfF.... it might be that the Banks's directors are reluctant to put their personal money in as they know that banks are built on smoke and hope. Not my words but something I heard one of the Goldman Sachs senior executives say on a Bloomberg interview .
Similar idea when youlisten to analysts from the top investment coys rant how great ABC plc and how fast it's going to grow in the next quarter. Then you see the disclaimers that the anal-yst has no investment in that coy directly orindirectly. To quote that horrible american expression.. go figure, do the math. Urgg
I'm just confused.....
Dont understand why there were no significant purchases by the directors. They need to put their money where their mouth is! If they dont have faith should we ???
I believe this share will do very very well in the next 3 years!
Even £17 is possible in the next 3 years. Buy this share and forget about it for 3 years
Since my last post on 29th October,this share has risen by 90p. Please take my advice and buy before it's too late .By this time next year ,Brexit will be history,the economy will be recovering and hopefully Covid will be fading.
Profits at STAN will be on an improving trend and dividends will definitely be restored. DYOR
A good franchise, now looking more attractive with a Biden win, maybe someone's thinking they can do more with it than current mgt, unusual trading recently, can't rule out some stake building..
I bought and never traded this share - it has been terrible to me. ?? Perhaps there will come a time when Banks will pay you to own their shares. But it always teaches me that shares go down ( on road really down in this case) as well as up, ?? I’m out when this recovers anything. Terrible share, terrible ?
Appears to be confirming exactly what I said on Oct 14th
well, you look as tho you missed the great bottoming here lol
extraordinary discount to book given solid (if not wildly exciting) franchise across second tier emerging markets that no competitor is likely to bother to enter aggressively (why would they bother??)
Answer. Yes Yes Yes and quite a significant loss but towards the end of next year a return to more profitable trading and a resumption of the dividend.
What makes you so sure? Are you expecting a loss in Q3 earnings?
SumoverHistories:. Answer No. See my note 30July :Next year YES around Spring
Steady share price increases here over the past 7 trading days. Can this get back to 430 or maybe even 460 prior to earnings on 29th October?
nice play in my view
banks have been hammered
to ridiculous price to books
& STAN has literal geographic moats
scattered across the emerging markets
tp £10 (in a few years lol)
Of the three you quote it would be GSK for me from an investment point of view but
I have always had a soft spot for AZN
P.s. Unilever are very cheap !
Ha, ha, Sedaka, Yes after a rush to the head I will probably stay put . As you say next year should be better. The one company that is very undervalued at the moment is GSK.
Which is my major holding and the split will happen soon which will give shareholders a foot in two good companies.
Seaking1 If you intend to sell at a steep loss I would suggest that it may be beneficial to do it before the next results unless you are preparing for some kind of Hari Kari exercise.
I shall be maintaining my holding even with Brexit , Covid19,Trump/ sanctions,China ,Hongkong, Putin,Kim the little rocket man,no dividend or buybacks this year and anything else that will cause grief.
2021 will be much better for this share and anyway Unilever and AstraZeneca are hardly cheap . Furthermore I want you to stay on this board as noone else,apart from BruceJamieson whose views are well known on other boards,hardly ever appears here.
One way or another I will be offloading I think at a steep loss or small loss after the next results. That’s assuming I can get into a blue chip at a low sp, Unilever,gsk, AstraZeneca etc.
I see the Hsbc board less enthusiastic about China's view on hi now
The sp for this company is becoming in my view ridiculous. I will just have to stick and hope for the best. The reasoning behind my thinking is when you consider the last results and the geographical area in which they operate then I find it hard to understand why the sp is where it is. On a brighter note with the weakness in the sp maybe there may be sharks now circulating around Standard, meaning Chinese banks. Just thinking , so no abuse please.
Exactly and this is not what the community wants.
Surely the interest of Shareholders and Communities in which they operate is the prime consideration of a BOD. The correct decision has been made whatever one thinks of China and the CCP
What about the treaty that is not simply politics. Prefer to have lost the war to Nazi Germany?
I fully support the stance taken by HSBC and Standard Chartered. Imv politics should play no part in the decision of their best interests for the Shareholders and the Communities in which they operate as long as it within the Laws of that Country
