Very much still in this one. I think it's got some more to come. Also, there is the Gocompare holding, which it suspect might be sold at some point. That could produce a special dividend?

Halifax not even recognising the name yet. Best gear up for Monday then!

Is it possible for the general public to buy ahead of Monday? · Conditional dealings will commence on the London Stock Exchange at 8.00 a.m. today under the ticker PLND · Admission to the premium listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange and the commencement of unconditional dealings in the Shares are expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 17 March 2014

Great results in a tough market. Decent yield, and the best bit is that the reserves are still incredibly strong. Loads more buys than sales, don't understand why this isn't flying?

Within the industry these are very good numbers. Great record of year in year growth and consistent dividend are what makes this share one of the best to have owned over the last ten years. The direct players seem to be able to outperform the traditional market on a pretty consistent basis. Worth watching esure as well, which has also risen today, presumably on these results, ahead of its own which are due next week.

Anyone any views on why the drop now?

New CEO now in and seems to have a clear view on what needs doing. Great contract win with Rated People. Things are looking up.

Steady upwards movement at the moment. Results due in less than a month and I suspect a few of the II's are topping up. After the disappointment of the dividend announcement last August, I'd expect peter Wood to try to put that right. I'm in for the medium to long term at least.

Another upgrade. Let's hope these translate into upward price movement.

Bit if profit-taking perhaps? House building takes a bit of time, so the best is probably yet to come.

Another broker reiterating the 'buy' message. Some very positive sentiment now for this share. A good report in March and this could really take off. http://www.stockmarketwire.com/article/4742600/FLASH-HSBC-reiterates-overweight-on-esure-Group-target-raised-from-300p-to-318p.html
