Aviva Share Price (AV.)

I didn’t say the dividend was irrelevant I said you can’t keep adding it on to the share price to make yourselves feel better.

The SP is £4.64 not over £5 cos you add in a load of historical dividends.

Shatter, Ignore him. I think the dividend still remains relevant to shareholders who were holders before it went ex-dividend, at least until 23 May when the money is in the bank, for comparison purposes pre and post dividend. That said, I think it's reasonable to conclude (this time) that selling before it went ex-dividend and buying back after might have been the wisest choice (particularly if you'd managed to sell at c495p in early April and bought back at c455p on 16 April)

Jim800. Not quite sure what you mean, but the Divi to me is quite substantial. You are obviously in a different league.

How long do you intend including the dividend? It’s gone - let it go. The share price is exactly what is it today.

If you want to talk about total returns over time then fine but the share price is what it is.

Thankfully finished in Scotland with its Feu superior system
