Well done on your draper sale.
I bought at just under 500 and after your post sold at just under 540 so thanks for putting back on the radar!

Special ex today took it down to 265p.

Ive posted thoughts on saga board:
05:43I think what Saga is doing now,reducing their debt is the best thing long term for the company.
Insurance is highly competitive,differentiating by doing three year deals sounds like a good idea to keep up revenues and it puts a moat with the competition.
The promise of 50% eps as dividend,clarified by Karv and in notes of rns prem results 4th April.
Estimated profit figure for this year in same rns between 105 to120 million,an eps of at least 7p at even lower at 90 million profit would give a dividend of 3.5p over 10% at current levels.
Add another 30million with cruise ships fully running in two years 4.6p dividend about 14%.
Personally I can see profit levels at around 170m in two years my opinion only so a dividend of 6p.
Dont forget profit figures are net figures,gross figures are much higher giving this even greater potential as an overseas takeover target.
My own position is just under 10000 shares bought between 42 to 37p.

But by doing what they've done the companies found an efficient/faster way to reduce debt and lower tax liability.
Maybe a five year plan with dividend gradually being stepped back upto 6 p.
Maybe Ashley will fancy a couple of cruise liners who knows?!?

How much did the cruise ships cost each?
What are the estimated annual profit revenues from them?
I take it the 380m debt is the leftover cost of the two ships?

An email to author of article,hopefully she will correct it.

Factually incorrect as actual purchase was 25707 shares by director,but the sentiments still there!

Nice pick up for Aviva on Tuesday if its linked to Trump visit he can come again lol.
Im keeping an eye on any further drops on Cineworld,buy target range 260-270p

Put aviva dividend into saga at a smidge under 42p a share.

Working nights in a warehouse,with only 2 shell garages as food outlets after 11pm within a four mile radius thats my smart revenue going in there lol.

Just a bit of friendly banter and fun playing devils advocate.
I am actually in favour of alot of green energy sources but cannot agree with payments for wind farms to stop when grid is full,these companies probably make more than enough profit anyway.
Genuinely sorry to hear about your parents alzheimers.
China to sell 2m electric cars next year,costing consumers just 6 thousand dollars each,the other 12 thousand paid by Chinese government,would be great to have similar offers in this country.
Did have a look at tesla powerwalls but way to expensive imo.
Time will make it and similar products cheaper.

Nobodys disputing that car fumes within an enclosed space can be dangerous.
Just out of interest in your utopian co2 free world,on cold dark windless wintry days where would the power come from to supply domestic ,industrial and electric car users?
If you could have a battery unit to store 8000kw then maybe it would be feasable what what are the enviromental costs of building this storage,plus solar panelling and wind farms?
Speaking of elderly people dying as your previous link highlighted,what about the elderly dying of hypothermia because they cannot afford the electricity prices artificially inflated by the payments made to wind farms not in use when the grid has an over supply?

You never know saga and pfc might have bottomed out now or have I been breathing too much co2?

I wont be touching,up 17%.
With heavy debts is the share price really going the right way?!?

I like warmer winters :)
Theyre too fecking cold in this country.

Maybe 5% of an income portfolio in each of tw/psn.
