The Divi has already been declared and will be honoured. It would be morally wrong if such was not the case. The whole ethos of the City is founded on the simple premise 'My word is my Bond'. I cannot accept for one minute that the Board would renege on the aforementioned declaration, and shattering their integrity in the process!

So the government can dictate to private companies to do as they're told (or else!). Sounds like a communist state to me.

Absolutely mrcarrick., but then the dust hasn't settled yet. Many companies will see that in the aftermath of this crises, there will never be a better opportunity for merger and acquisition activity. Aviva itself could gobble up some bargains if not subsumed by a larger predator IMO. Consolidation is on the cards in due course.

Not surprised by that since a lot of small oil competitors will go bankrupt leaving the field for the big players. As far as Aviva goes, when the dust settles, there's bound to be an hostile takeover bid with possibly an audacious offer of about £5 per share. Hopefully this would be rejected as seriously undervaluing the company.

What would be the point of that? To pull out of a recession it will have to be consumer led. The last thing the BoE should be doing would be to remove cash flow and strangling the recovery! It sounds a bit like yet more scaremongering to me ,probably by those who failed to get aboard the bus lower down when they had the chance.

No problem. Brokers are a fickle lot. When it nears that TP (of 355p),they'll most likely raise it back to 500p.

Held it's own really well today while L&G slumped over 8% . Makes a nice change!

Another late surge would be welcome!

Splendid end of session surge to finish at 277. Poignant childhood reminder for me of the numerous times I boarded the 277 double decker red London bus. Ironically to take me off of the Isle of Dogs. Am left wondering if this turns out to be a good omen! Lol

Ironic really that far more lives are created in the USA than are lost as a result of Covid-19. Thanks to the resultant panic, abortions have been cancelled as being designated as non urgent treatment. The average daily amount of terminations of pregnancy in the USA alone (for non-medical reasons) was approximately 10,000. That should help put things into perspective.

There are no open short positions according to this platform.

Looks like the retrace is continuing. The yield is only c11% now. Just hope we don't get clobbered with the German measles or something me old china! Lol

Could be knocking on the door of 300p notwithstanding Chinese Coronavirus!

That should be 'hairs' (Typo error).

L&G dropped by almost 5% more than Aviva, Div ,but let's not split chairs!

So that would equate to a yield of over 30%. Highly unlikely IMV. Also, in the interest of balance,Aviva held up very well compared to L&G ,(for those Moaning Minnies who are so keen to unfairly juxtapose the SP's of companies).

Is that a knee-jerk reaction statement or merely a statement of a jerk??

WTF! Nice rise today and guess what? Yes! Aviva increased by 4× the rise of L&G. No acknowledgement of that fact by the usual Moaning Minnie's who like to compare the two.

RBC Capital Markets re-iterate TOP PICK!

You just need to ask yourself one question. Do you feel lucky punk? lol
