No worries. I dont think SLA will be a takeover target as its to big a firm and in all honesty, its probably undervalued (but the Board needs to be smart to unlock the value as the individual parts are a lot more valuable). I remember the previous CEO said that if you look at the individual components, the market isn't adding any value for the core asset management business. So any takeover would need to be at a premium.

One point of note is that SLA has been acquiring recently - e.g they took a chunky stake in Tritax who are known for the BigBox Reit.

I'm not to versed in RSA - but some of the recent recovery here is to do with the undervalued aspect. Plus there's a new ceo here who should give the business the kick it needs. I'm personally hopeful for a about 4.50 share price. Anyway, decent dividend here :)

I think it will open at £43 a share :). No analysis - it's just my favourite number!

Phoenix doesn't own SLA - SLA has ownership of a block of Phoenix shares (I think it;s at 25%). The Standard Life brand is owned by SLA and is used by Phoenix under license from SLA. Anyway, do you mean SLA is a takeover target? I wouldn't think it is.
Re. value - you need to remember that SLA and Phoenix are two separate businesses in different sectors: SLA is an asset management business whilst Phoenix is an insurance business. You can't compare the two directly.

They arent in BTC mining yet but recently stated they will be soon. Recent board appointees are crypto experts

I have a similar purchase price. Current dividend levels give a rate of around 5% pa and the dividend is secure here (fantastic track record of payment). Expecting a higher dividend - but would be happy with the same!

The amount of outstanding warrants is tiny - remember seeing that somewhere (around a million at max). Not at all worried.

Where do you get the list of attendees?

Companies grant options for a lot of things. Exercise price is good and positive. Clearly, there's an expectation of enhanced performance (in Share price) going forward. Not worried.

To be honest, he did say that when he talks about Dogecoin, it's for a joke. So what if he trolls on Twitter. lol

My long-term plan is to hold my shares here. I like the company as it is and if things change (e.g. the fundamentals of the business), I will then evaluate my position.

I see Argo as an alternative to holding bitcoin - particularly with the current plan to HODL crypto. I'm extremely bullish Bitcoin - to the point that I never really hold cash that I don't need (or i do, in premium bonds :) ). FIAT currency clearly doesn't work and Covid reiterates that - Govts have printed a lot of cash.

Todays RNS does show Argo is an adaptive company - so positive future

really good conference so far. Michaels put a brilliant case towards why we need to move from FIAT. If CEOs dont listen, their loss

oops - Yeah i meant 474.5 :).
That makes sense if it's Zcash, but they say "BTC Equivalents..." in the update. So i assumed it was already converted...
buy roughly 26 BTC worth of other assets is good!

end of dec had 209 btc in holding
Jan mined 93 and bought 172.5
That total is 480.5

Where does the other 20 come from?

Fantastic result. Wasn't expecting the purchase of additional coins but love that they have bought some. This clearly forces forecasts to be higher - I'm impressed.

it's tomorrow and Thursday.

People sell for a lot of reasons - as an example, i've bought and sold for tax management purposes (wanted to crystalise losses to off-set future gains). Don't worry about what others are doing - focus on what you're doing :).

Lol, not his fault - his pocket money is 60p, so he's hoping the price falls to that level so he can buy in a share. :).

Why do people always try to time the market? It rarely works. You MIGHT get lucky and might time it well, but it's quite unlikely.

If you think the sharewill reach it's high figures again, then just hold on. Makes so much more sense. Otherwise, you're just a trader

and For Info - just remember that the likes of Elon Musk are supportive of BTC. There's a lot of credibility given to BTC over the past 6 months. This week MIGHT be the biggest week for BTC given the upcoming conference. Do you really think it's wise to try and time the market here...?

Not selling me 3m shares. :)

But Musk is one billionaire I love. So down to Earth, even in person. Unlike the prick Jeff Bezos.
