The market reacted to weak data on German paper prices.

In terms of the SP, WE profits were lower and the market is reacting
to a global slowdown. The industry is cyclical.

Reasons to be cheerful..? - it's a quality company that longer term will
hopefully continue to trade well. Peak to trough cyclical earnings for
the sector tend to be very marked - this is not a pharma stick or water utility!.

Luck with your holding.

Under 39 may be available.

If you are looking at levels significantly lower than that,
at what stage may a bidder pounce...?.

May not at all is one of the answers, however let's see.

You could have sold a % in the open market over the summer surely?.

Over £49 was available for a time.

In January 2016 the Aviva share price was over £5 a share.

It began falling in the weeks leading up to the referendum and then plunged
and it's never recovered.

Now if you want to look at it differently that's fair enough.

In terms of the EU, I will tell you what I think, I think the EU is an easy target
for people's frustrations and disappointments in life. An easy target for
repressed anger and discontentment.

And once we have left and those people don't feel any better, there will be another scapegoat.

Instead of taking responsibility at improving their own lives, it's so much easier to blame someone/something else, but never themselves.

I hold a small amount of these.

Multiple economies slowing down not helping sentiment.

The next update will be interesting.

Where we are is on the edge of a UK recession with the Aviva share price
having been decimated.

So yes, deal with it.

Any further price weakness may be an opportunity imv,
unless you think we are about to enter a wider equity bear market.

And I'm not known for my optimism!.

Alliance news confirmed it so assume it's correct.
You need a buyer for a seller yes!.

Is one I follow - don't buy any individual stock unless you can live with it
trading 50% below your buy price. In other words you need to be
able to live with large volatility. Otherwise stick to trackers, trusts etc -
Which can still be volatile obviously.

It's looking less likely we will break yesterday's lows today's, so any further
buys may need to wait.

Would be surprised if this week's wider stock market volatility has run its course,
however let's see.

PRU is about 1.5% of what I have invested atm, however would be prepared to go to
around 11% as a max.

Investment Trust comprise the majority of my investments atm. The only problem with
that is having indirect holdings in some companies that I would not consider buying directly,
which is why I will usually only buy an IT on a fat NAV discount and where gearing is modest.

Earning around £30 million during her tenure perhaps not!.

As mentioned last week - new CEO, new Chair, new dividend policy, strategic
review on NGP, focus on debt reduction.

That process is now well underway with Alison's departure and expect the rest
to follow within 2 years max, or more likely 12 months. All IMV only as always.

Longer term very nice upside. We may have to navigate another recession firstly.

As Hong Kong represents a large chunk of revenue, if anything I'm surprised
PRU has held up as well - without the upcoming demerger may have been
well under £13.

I'm not sure do LSE allow article links any longer, but the Bloomberg article
can be found on a quick search.

In a nutshell, he's extremely bearish on the outlook for HK, anticipating a severe downturn.

400k is a single stock ? - you are either very rich or a risk taker.

That's a major reduction in holding from one of PRU's main shareholders
if I've read that RNS correctly.

This has been a long time coming.

Small amount @ 1352, again above my intended buy price.

Hopefully a few more opportunities over the coming week or two.

Watched the recent AV. Results conference call and the CEO is
an impressive presenter, if nothing else!.
Aviva has been a serial disappointer under multiple CEO's,
will this time be any different ..? May be.

Big upside if they can realise value arguably.

You could list multiple reasons for an individual stock to rise or fall
on a daily basis.

The best way to view PRU (for those who take notice of the daily price)
is that it should outperform on risk on market sentiment and in very general
terms also outperform during an equity bull market (with bouts of volatility)-
and the reverse to the above also applies.

Or just ignore the daily noise and hold long term, is probably the far
more relaxing strategy.

This is well above my preferred buy price of under £13,
so just a small buy only.

Around £13.40 approx will have a small amount more, if available -
You can't always get what you want etc!.

You sound bored and as if you have very little going on in your life -
take your frustrations out on someone else - filtered.
