L&G is now even further down than AV.

yes, it was an attempt at levity, but I can understand if you don't appreciate it

what id you expect of cAmanda Blank

topped up at 271.998

... well that has caught a few more out, so easy

Hi Chris,

Agree that management need to get a grip on operational matters where the outcome is as you have experienced. The interesting thing is that I have, in the last 4 months, renewed to products and added to new products with Aviva through both on-line and a mix of on-line/agent transactions and it has all gone really well. I am also a user of Barclays Smart Investor platform and although it was a total shambles at the outset, it has been a very effective platform since it settled down and certainly now earns them good fees that are worth it for what is delivered.

Interesting ... 5,687,000 shares transacted at 287.7p at 13.01.42 pm

Looks as if everything that is being sold is being accumulated

Agreed that much more dividend realism is needed and in the climate going forward any thing in excess of 5% is a sign of a business that doesn't know how to best manage its assets. If rebased to about 5% I am a very happy investor at these prices because it is still an excellent return for an A rated firm with a strong balance sheet and shows that at last we have a management team prepared to actively manage its assets for the best long term outcomes which may need to happen in a low growth environment in which products, productivity and competitiveness are all.

... more stop-losses to knock out yet

...and again, do margin traders (apart from shorts) ever make any money on AV.?

Are we at a turning point for value over growth?

oh dear, margin traders stuffed again

how are those who jumped ship to DLG doing?

The VWAP high of the day was at the end of the day and the closing balancing trade was just a tad above that, which was a very satisfactory outcome. Plenty of dry powder to buy into any over-reaction to the downward pressure of the ex-div event.

Many of you get taken to the cleaners because greed allows you to be taken to the cleaners ... rinse and repeat, and the more you bleat the easier it is.

It strikes me that lower ongoing dividend yields in the short term could actually be good for the share price, because if less of an unsustainable dividend is being "frittered away" on shareholders with unrealistic expectations, the likelihood of being able to rotate some of the debt into lower interest debt increases, making for better long term profitability and hence higher share prices without then further sacrificing the already re-based dividend yield. Paradoxical or what?

I stand by my statement. You guys have totally unrealistic dividend expectations (for this and certainly for banks) going forward. These days anything that is A rated at more than 2-3% yield is a pipe-dream.
We will see who is right, and I,m not just talking about Aviva - this is how the whole of FTSE will go.
