Although, I would be reluctant to buy these shares now that there is a seller with millions of shares who is offloading them and happy to take £1.12. If they drop back to that price, and I think they might, I will consider a purchase.
Must be some nervousness about next Tuesday's results? I'm back in today at €30.50. Fingers crossed.
I sold two large holdings. One lot the day before the results and the second lot on the day of results. I couldn't not take my over £20K profit. Of course I immediately regretted my decision when they headed toward the £5 mark. If I had waited there was another £9k to be had. Lots of people decided to wait until before they went ex-div, knowing that they would fall back on the ex-div date by the dividend amount plus more. This has happened. I have put them back on my radar but only if they drop below £4.40. My plan would be to try and make 20p per share and then get out. At the moment my funds are in Taylor Wimpey and Haleon.....hoping for a 10p profit per share.
Any thoughts on why this share is dead in the water?
Did I read that Haleon bought some of these at £3.08 to be cancelled? I may be wrong but would this not indicate that the share price might hang around at the £3.08 level for some time?
I sold one lot of my shares 13000 on the Wednesday before results at £4.56. I thought it would be a "Buy on Rumour" sell on results type of day. I was wrong......I then sold another lot of 13000 on results day at £4.68.......and a further lot of 11000 at £4.74......I had the feeling that the profit takers would move in and take their profits. I was right. I am not sure how the share will perform in the next week or so and if it will move higher as we get to the ex-dividend date. If it drops back to £4.40 I will buy back in again....but even though the dividend is very tempting, I would probably sell before the ex-div date...as I think the price will fall back after.

Let's see how the market opens.
I am not sure why this share has been struggling over the past week. With results and dividend amount to be announced this Thursday I thought that the price would be a lot stronger. I think everyone is expecting good results. Unless of course investors have been taking their profits after the run up from 420 to 440?. Do we normally see a jump in the share price when the results are announced or is it a buy on rumour and sell on news type of share.
Aviva car insurance here in Dublin €310 for me and €310 for Mrs. Box. Lowest price available from Aviva.
Not much upward movement in the share price today and yesterday as we get closer to the results. I am still hoping to reach £4.60 before the results.....probably sell one of my tranches before the results, just in case they fall back on news.
I see that there is a mention of a short position on this share. How is this affecting it's share price at the moment?
I am hoping for 460's as well as we go toward the results and then a jump. However there is always the old adage. Buy on rumour and sell on news. There could be a sharp exit on the results. Today, the share is a little sluggish....probably the profit takers moving in after a few good days plus the Friday sell off to get the price of a few pints over the weekend. If the dividend declaration is good it may sustain the price towards the ex-div date.
I have two tranches. 25000 thousand shares and 14000 shares. One lot purchased at £3.97 and the second at £4.25. I was tempted to exit and take my profits, pay for this years summer holidays. I think that as we move toward March when results are due and amount of Divi announced we will see a gradual increase in the price. My happy dilemma is.....do I sell before the ex dividend date as the price increases or wait until after, when the share price drops by the amount of the dividend plus the rest.
I have been doing the same with Aviva and Whitbread. My stake is £158k. I buy on lows and exit on highs. I am also watching the share price trend in about 5 other shares at the moment. Barclays is one of them. I have not yet purchased this share though, but if I have cash free I will do so when they drop below £1.40 and exit on £1.50. Happy enough with smaller profits as I go......in my mind.....that's another bill taken care of or holiday flight. Doing this 30 years now and I have simplified this strategy after having two boom/busts in the 30 years of trading.
I have been tracking this share for awhile. I am ready to make a purchase because I think their prospects are good but the share price seems to be falling and I don't understand why? Does anyone else have an insight as to why this is the case.
I have two tranches of Aviva. I bought one tranche last week at 4.23 and sold yesterday at 4.36. As I write they are dropping back and will have a look again if they head back toward the 4.25 mark. Any thoughts on how the weather storms might impact on the share price?
Does anyone see a problem with the container issues in the Red Sea. Could there be stock shortages. I read recently that cost of hiring a container has become very expensive....also the container ships now have to take the long way round....causing delays.
I chickened out. Instead I bought 13k shares in Aviva at £56k. Paid £4.23.....now £4.21......so already showing a loss. I have a larger holding of Aviva. The plan for today's purchase was a quick in and out trade but keep my larger holding. I am not worried and if it doesn't happen it will at some stage before the ex-dividend date. I like JD though. I was bleary eyed yesterday reading back through their various trading statements/research. Lots of buys this morning but also some large sells, so I am not sure if this has bottomed out. The share may be a bit volatile until their March update is out of the way....then it will rocket one way or the other. I don't have the bottle anymore, lost too much money in the past going on gut instinct, now I am more cautious. Pays for the annual holidays.....
I sold Whitbread at £36.90 and made a couple of grand profit. This money is now burning a hole in my pocket. I also have a large holding of Aviva shares. I can sell now and my summer holidays are taken care of from the profits....but....they will rise as we head toward Ex-Div date. I want to get in to JD but I have never bought them before....whereas I have traded Whitbread and Aviva many times and I feel comfortable with them.

Has the purchase of Courir been completed. It looks like a nice little business.
