Talk to the aviva cos the lgen aint listening ;)

Wise words from you:
If you can’t tell your missus or partner what you’ve done then you are probably over leveraged and if you boast down the pub (not appropriate now) then your kidding yourself. Things can turn very quickly with biotechs look at the charts of IMM, MTFB, ITX to name but a few. There are many more losers than winners .
Congratulations from taking early retirement through aims.
I think you are a smart investor and more than welcome to carry on posting on here,who knows I might try to keep more up to date lol.

Thank you for making me smile.
You come into the cave and shoot a pre 6am tip that jumps +50% steadily over the day,what an entrance like Clint Eastwood in a Spagetti Western.
A fine example of money not sleeping,Im not easily impressed but tip my hat on this occasion.
Sng is high risk high reward, at current price could be a billion pound company,a twenty bagger on current 50m current valuation and you could bet a "a few dollars more" that Trump is watching it.

So investors pay their money and take their choice it could be the chosen one but likewise there are probably another 15 companies around the world at a similar stage.
This is probably one of uks leading contenders for a corona vaccine though and Uk/Ireland science and technology is up there amongst the best in the world still.
It could end up being a pump and dump or if its the grand national winner a millionaire maker for some investors.
For me personally Ive stated over the years 5 % of portfolio max on this type,but a very nice tip.
Congratulations on your insurance strategy seems to be working out nicely.
Tbh Ive been off the boil investment wise recently,too many other things to focus on,if I had been focused then I would have had a punt on Friday morning at 8am.
and an"everythings going to be fine perspective"

I think the shops might be totally out of alcohol in three days,might be a good time to sell my whisky collection soon lol.

Ive got total faith he knows what hes on about and oil will go down to between 10 to 15 dollars a barrel.
When your trying to sell qtys people dont want prices will be driven right down.
They specialise in chart analysis like you guys,some are extremely rich.

Totally agree travel restrictions and quarantine should have been brought in weeks ago.Given exams cancelled whats going to happen to the kids taking them?Oils down to 20 getting closer to 11,Will pick up to 24 then carry on dropping according to Lithuanian friend.

If a ship starts to sink Im ususally the first rat to jump off,but Ive see this situation before in the last financial crash and insurance companies do recover,if anything demand for their products will be even higher later.

Sticks at 2/3 value of Aviva shares,its all relative to eps.
I dont care what price they dip to I will stay holding through this.
Besides actuaries have every situation taken into account.

For such a detailed,researched article and useful tips for any additional investments.

Stocks falling the fastest,will also be the ones that recover the quickest when everything goes back to normal.
Switching from a stock thats down 50% to one down 20% ,ok lets do the maths eg original sp 1.00 down to 50p switch to one down 20% it then recovers in say six months so your then left with 50p+20% =60p instead of a pound by holding onto original stock.
Insurance companies are run by astute actuaries that factor in all eventualities,the last crash was a bigger threat because of the damage to bonds.
Financial companies were forced to increase their safety buffers to prevent it turning into a crisis again.
Maybe people will become more aware/concerned about their own mortality after this situation in which case a trip to the insurers might well be the case be it for life cover or sickness cover.
No surrender for me,the mayhs above explains why and I wont be swayed into switching into covid related products although new money into these products might not do any harm or others such as cussons,tesco,unilever or even wincanton with the lower fuel costs.

I dont think shell,lloyds or lgen will struggle for survival over an opec tiff or a flu virus.

Whys that then?

1)hop on eurotunnel and fill up rucksack with carex hand sanitizer cos euros dont hand wash according to friend in spain and plenty in stock on shelves out there-profit mark up 900%
2)Sit tight
3)Panic sell and regret later.
4) buy more
lloyds now at 33p and 10% dividend
rdsb around 1050p 14% dividend
lgen about 170p 10% dividend

Wise words from Optimus.
My own thoughts are it takes funds about two years to recover from a full blown crash.
At present we are only half way there and whether the markets recover now or drop another 30% is anybodys guess,alot depends on how quickly the covid business settles down.
As for investment strategy I'm just sitting tight and holding,any dividend from lgen on final ex will be reinvested into saga shares which I see as potentially a five bagger in the long run,forecast earnings in two years 8 pence a share with dividend just over 3 pence.
Current sp around 15p,of course there must be high risks(not quite sure where apart from covid disruption
but Im guessing there must be) and dyor.
Second cruise ship up and ready in a year and first was 80% booked up before being suspended as a precaution of covid.
Profit levels within a 20% variance of 100m forecast for each of next 3 years.
Pe ratio just 2,its sitting on 33m cash with another 37m coming from 2 disposals in first half of year and has an unused 100m credit facility available.

90% into lgen and 10% into saga.

Sold aviva today,up 6.5%,was spooked out of it.
Why are other insurers climbing up 11% and aviva just 6.5%,even saga was up 11%.

Anybody thinking of adding/topping up with 13% dividend yielder?

Post from 8 days ago predicted oil price crash.
I spoke to lithuanian friend again this week,congratulated him on his groups timely forecast and asked him what his groups current thoughts were.
His response was that oil could potentially now go down to 11 dollars a barrel before going back up to 100 dollars a barrel.
My thoughts are that the current aim of Saudi and Russia is to kill off the smaller companies over the next 12 months,and then to delibrately under supply the market later

Money never sleeps(lol).
Opt-Last time I held cine I cashed out at just below two pounds.
Personally if you bought at 46p and they are currently 66p I would be hitting the sell button as a nice short term profit and reinvest in something else.
Cavers-The tipster comp is a comp and we are all big boys so if anyone chooses to buy and loses money from entries please dont cry about it afterwards.
Its nice to see the cave so active currently,all posters are welcome, a troll free zone currently and everyone is respecting differing opinions.
Investment thoughts-Currently just in Aviva purely for future retirement income at about 9% yield.

ftse should go up on that news

Nice article,welcome to the cave.
