I’ve bought in last week £1.04, on nothing more than Starmer will lay off the negative vibe, or get run over by a tractor ! preferably the 2nd option and some confidence will return, regardless of the yawn, cost of living crisis and people will spend a bit more of their hard earned.

We live in a live for today society, so this business for me fits the rhetoric very well. I will be averaging down if it gets under £1, as fairly confident of a decent return.

Good luck.

Guys, fair to say the buyback will support the shareprice, this is the 2nd tranche as your aware, then they have a 3rd tranche, I think for 500mil after that.

The business will grind the shareprice slowly up is my view. Patience is required. You may even get a 3% 4% gain day. I follow the UT trades most days there appears a constant seller into the auction, probably sentiment based, probably a fund manager, once the big boys view change, I expect some serious plus days.

It’s an undervalued business. Good luck.

Maybe expect a bit of back and forth between Xi and trump regarding tariffs. As the Chinese premier says no one wins with tariffs. To be fair it was a conversation that was coming, interesting to see how the shareprice will react, my view they will sort a deal, and the world will carry on, and Prudential will increase in shareprice.

I mentioned last week that Lgen were being sold down, another good company, doing nothing wrong, so it just tells me that these 2 giants are just unloved, and the reality of interest from a 3rd party in my view is to be taken seriously.

Goldman’s reckons the S and P won’t return the mega returns going forward, so rotation will come it’s just a question of when, and Prudential is undervalued compared to the overvalued American markets.

Good luck.

I’m not an economist, but more news out of China regarding stimulus, and monetary policy has also benefited the share price, according to CNBC.

As the view is, don’t bet against the Chinese. Their index put on 2.5% overnight .

Why sell now !

The share buyback appears to have put some momentum under the shareprice. It would suggest there is not a lot of free float hanging about, or traders have decided to go and play somewhere else with their short puts, long puts, options, sell calls, or whatever other name

they use to play the share.

BATS announced a similar buyback last year, the stock was out of love and it put on a hell of a run going forward. Why would anyone be selling at these levels is beyond me.

Something to think about.

Traders were taking positions, hoping for some news to support the shareprice acceleration. It just appears that the news wasn’t forthcoming and thus the shareprice will just retrace.

It’s fairly common, especially across aim stocks. Good Luck.

Algos react to the announcement of an RNS statement so I’m informed,before the contents are known. M and G had a downgrade today, so maybe a knock on effect here.

Legal and General were going down the toilet until they issued an update yesterday, which was business as usual and growth opportunities, just goes to show the broker predictions and opinions are a waste of time, as they were all tainted to the down side.

Vested interests with brokers, and 12 year olds writing the remits on their behalf. I’m afraid we live in a society with too much information must of it is nonsense.

Something to think about. As always good luck.

It is something new when the share price is £6.50. It’s worth paying the shareprice and the company some consideration. It seems obvious, some people need an explanation for absolutely everything, me I don’t.

A bid could come from anywhere, look at the action on Direct Line, a couple of companies have been sniffing around, that companies a dog according to the guy who founded it.

You takes your chances and you place your bets, that’s the game !

An intelligent view to take is that Prudential isn’t valued correctly. I take no notice of the broker targets, the trade tariffs, which won’t just be one sided if Trump escalates, the Chinese will of course react.

Dominic Raab was on CNBC this morning, he has dealings with China, this interview was regarding mining, he quoted the Chinese are 20 years in front. The 20 years in front seems to be a common quote, be it transport, economy , ambition, basically everything.

We are where we are with the shareprice, and as I’ve said previously, with falling interest rates if the share isn’t valued correctly by the market, then someone will make a bid. My view also maybe suitors are waiting to see how Trump pans out before their move.

Experienced investors have seen this all before, so the smart money is of course sitting tight, that’s why we are successful.

Good luck.

Hello James, yes I’ve noticed that, maybe they might be attracting a bid, who knows what’s going on. Prudential is clearly one to be reviewed Q1/Q2. I’m not at all worried, I watch CNBC most days, I think the USA is immensely toppy, and as I’ve said previously once you start to see the commentators and guests start to talk their home market down, they start to talk up everything else that is out of favour.

I seen it time and time again, sit tight and of course good luck.

Hello, yes interesting points, Burberry had a bit of coverage on CNBC after the Chinese stimulus news. One reason quoted for the lacklustre performance was that the clothing needs reinventing, if the Chinese were to buy they would be buying Moncler or LV.

Yes of course listen to the wife, they are rarely wrong. Lots of bargains out there. Good luck to investors, there maybe even a Santa rally ! Cheers.

Off topic, I did look at Burberry a few weeks ago. Not knowing too much about the sector, they appear to have lost their way, they don’t appear in the same league as say LV, who seem to withstand economic conditions.

Burberry have also had a change of senior management quoting the RNS statements, so I steered clear, they will probably get a leg up I dare say with the general market, on the talk of less draconian tariffs.

Garonne, perhaps see the share price as a buying opportunity, buy some more and revisit Q1 next year.

Robert Kennedy has the ear of Trump, if anyone is interested, his take on Ukraine is pretty spot on. More information is coming to light if people want to listen. Personally, I think Starmer will resign before his tenure is complete, too many skeletons in the closet, even though he governs by the rule of Law, he has no other qualities that are needed to be a leader.

Interesting times, good luck.

The issue is for the uneducated is that the advance of NATO and of course the disastrous American foreign policy that has put us in this state of affairs. Not so long ago the Russians were invited into London with investment and passports, it is alas Obama’s foreign policy in 2014 that ultimately pushed us to the conclusion we are now.

We have for years been poking the Russian bear, and Putin has been tolerant of the west’s actions and the leaders who have put us into this situation.

We should of just left them alone, but alas the lefties Liberals, love a conflict as long as they are not the ones on the front line losing their lives.

Something to think about.

Too be fair, it gets a bit repetitive posters going on about the share price. Unfortunately, some people in my opinion shouldn’t buy shares, they should just put their money in the bank. Shares should be bought predominantly when the share price is low, I know it sounds obvious, but it clearly isn’t to some people.

It’s fairly common nowadays for people not to take responsibility for their actions, a word of advice, sometimes things are cheap for a reason. Why is Lgen cheap well as alluded to earlier

my view no growth and sovereign debt in the U.K.

What to do here for the posters underwater, well buy as many as possible at these levels and sell into the rise before the dividend next year, and get out and stay out, because things are not getting better anytime soon. Good Luck.

Something to think about.

The share buyback I think announced in June this year was for £500mil, it’s a tranche, so they still have more money to carry on, they the management just need to announce when .

The sums disclosed at the time were for about 8% of the share value from memory maybe that figure has increased due to the lower share price, not sure, to me it’s a good strategy.

I do hope they carry on at these levels as mentioned. I don’t see a deterioration in share price below £6, it’s just been played in my view a couple of times now to that support, on over exaggerated whipped up fears.

Onwards from here. Good luck.

To be fair it’s the outflow of money from the London markets and the advent of managed funds and passive investing, that are having the greater effect.

What’s the solution I here you say, well Rachel Thieves is discussing the very point at Mansion House on what to do with-investment in dearest Blighty.

To a packed house of the elite fund managers who run the U.K.s pensions schemes she has just stood up and finished her maiden speech to a packed audience, the crowd have been waiting

with baited breath on ‘the plan’ and it’s state of the art thinking, to get Blighty moving again.

‘ She has been quoted as saying ‘ I pinch myself everyday I have the dream job, I also pinch quite a lot of other things, wouldn’t you lot all like to know, she said with a twinkle in her eye.

She sat back down and continue drinking.

Goldman’s have upped the buyback amount the last couple of days to over 2.3 million shares a day. They obviously feel the share is cheap.

Something to think about.

The yanks are selling the house builders it’s been the same pattern for what 2 weeks. To be fair the writing was on the wall, with no real reduction in interest rates, no stimulus for house buyers and of course the dare I say it Labour Government with their disastrous housing targets and ‘no real idea’ leadership of government.

I bet a lot of Labour voters are regretting their vote !
