They down 3.2% in North America, and the debt level still at 2.8x. Reading previous statements the debt was forecast 2/2.5x. I’m not an accountant but it’s quite clear is North America going to make money.

Goldman’s bought 2.3 million shares today,why, maybe they feel that the shareprice won’t be at this level much longer. Maybe the fall in inflation and Reeves showing an iron fist on spending, will be a catalyst for the ftse.

One would dearly hope so.

They haven’t got to grips with North America, if you read the trading statement, they are paying more overtime, trying to retain customers, paying lots more overhead.

Ransom needs to go, it’s obvious, the large nett worth individuals want him gone in the states,and I dare say a lot of the large institutions. There was no endorsement from Ransom regarding Trians appointment.

So, the large investors will be either selling down or averaging down, my view averaging down it’s a tried and tested mechanism in this type of scenario. Bring on the new broom and shake the business up.

My view large share holders are manipulating it lower to average down.

I’m not expecting too much from the trading update on sales growth. What I’m hoping for is a remark along the lines of a stateside listing . This would increase the PE. Ransom needs to go, a new broom is needed and rather sharpish, that will drive the share price up in my opinion.

Walk away from the index here rather sharpish.

Yes, hopefully there is a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. We don’t want to end up the next Venezuela.

My view the cash consideration stated in the RNS ( outgoing) comes straight off the share price

There is a lot of Money short the ftse. My view increased since Labour came in. Pointless debating why Prudential isn’t achieving short term price targets, those won’t happen until the great elite install confidence ! Until then it will languish along with most of the index.

It appears obvious , and should do even to the Johnny come quicklies ! Some people shouldn’t buy shares.

My strategy with Prudential is put the shares in the drawer and forget about them. Ill review the strategy next year. I do wish investors traders well, trying to make returns in these markets, where the odds are stacked against them, is to say the least a challenge, good luck.

This time next year Del !

Well the share price hasn’t tanked. Personally, I wouldn’t bet against the Chinese sorting out their issues. Regardless of what all the analysts say they are forecast 5%growth, against the Americans at just over 2% next year.

Good luck to all holders and traders, I hope you all get rewarded.

Hi, if your asking myself why I think shares will be worth more money next year, my view is I’m confident that the company will make progress on its ambitions as stated by the CEO, it’s that simple, I’m believing what he’s saying.

So, a group of analysts were unhappy with the conference call on stimulus, big deal, who cares, they are analysts, they don’t run businesses, they seem to have too much scope and opinion, most of it is nonsense, if they were all that smart they would be running companies.

Putting them to one side, it’s super important we get cheaper central money, and some confidence from those in charge. Starmer s negative tone, in my opinion has led to the increase in short activity across equities on the U.K. market. It’s vitally important that pension companies at the budget get the right tone from the chancellor on investment.

I think good news is coming down the pipe, that will lead to an increase in confidence and that will increase the share price. All the best, cheers.

My view is still the same, Chinese GDP 5%, cheaper interest rates globally, share buybacks at historic lows, a confident CEO, stimulus.

I’m still a believer shares purchased now will be worth more money next year.

Something to think about.

I read something in The Times at the weekend. They were quoting an exodus of money from the London Stock market, one would assume because of a Labour government. Also, I read a couple of weeks ago that the insurance sector has been suffering a rather large short attack.

The driver for the share price will be when Reeves injects some positivity, The times also mentioned that private investment is essential for growth in the U.K. I’m betting now that the budget will be business friendly, what other choice does Labour have, they have to get the large pension companies on side with decent investment plans, as they have the money.

If you apply a logical assessment, it appears obvious, what could possibly go wrong !

Something to think about.

Shareholders should try not to get distracted with looking at the daily share price. The trend is on the up, it’s well known nothing goes up in a straight line. Prudential are one of those old school investment companies, they are in the game for the long term. The recent guidance by the CEO regarding growth seems encouraging.

I’m still of the opinion shares purchased now will be worth more money next year. Bailey was out this morning hinting that he needs to be more aggressive with rate reductions, so that’s on the cards, and of course will be good for Prudential. Switch off and review next year, that’s what historically share buying used to be about.

Something to think about.

Carlyle chap on CNBC reiterating Teppers statement last week. China is only going one way and that’s up. They like the stimulus, the fed rate cuts and they don’t see oil consumption spiking, making for a stable market into next year.

Why sell now. Something to think about.

I of course don’t want investors to lose their shirt, but the track history isn’t great, is it. I dare say that the masses on here have discussed the share price negatives, but it’s just a club here, all going in the same direction.

Funnily enough when I lasted checked we don’t live in a dictatorship, I thought it was a democracy. New investors might be puffed in here on a promise reading all the ‘ramping’ posts, you know how I’ll informed the masses are !

So, hopefully the eco zealots won’t have their way, and you can all slap each other on the back, a I’ll informed and rather ill rational poster tends to be a poor one.

As always something to think about.

Good luck.

I’ve been informed that the Falkland Islands has its own Supreme Court, so what’s stopping the eco zealots lodging a claim for say the protection of ‘The Penguin and the beauty of the surroundings’. As far as I can see, it can happen at any time.

Regardless of the responses, having been a investor, the recent ruling in the Supreme Court is a big concern. Legal challenges can go on for a prolonged period of time.

With a declining oil price, maybe investors are better off buying say Exxon or even BP.

My view the share price is building momentum for a pop to the upside. The Bank of England will be reducing rates, maybe Starmer and Reeves will lay-off the negative rhetoric, and not do anything too stupid in the budget to deter investment. If so we may be pleasantly surprised.

Something to think about.

David Tepper speaking on CNBC last evening states buy everything to do with China. I think the share price will inevitably take a ride up, why sell now.
