Well analyst concensus is 265 so another 6% to go with a good macro then April divi and another 6% so could give nearly 13% over 4 months. Then 3 months after nother 3% making 16%. V good buy at minute.

Agree with the crap he inherited but he is doing nothing but taxing out of it which will make a bad situation worse. Nobody will invest here. The only way out of this is to cost cut hard amd deliver 100 to 200bn state efficient to decimate the debt. Tbf he teied but it but hes shown hes got no power as the hard left blocked him. Uk is a centre right nation with 50% of the combined vote at last election currently controlled by a hard loony left blockimg starmer hardly anyone voted for this. Its going to go veey badly wrong to the point the uk might lurch very hard right next

They have messed up so badly we need another election. Their manifesto is in tatters, very few voted for any of this. The welfare reforms were blocked by the ultra left who have now shown they rule the country as they control starmer yet the centre right vote at the election in total was over 50% across all parties. If this carries on there will be a breakdown of confidence. We cannot be run by a a party with a set of policies in practice the opposite of what we voted for

Double share price but half the stock. Zero sum change?

We are heading for a 26th Nov budget car crash with all the u turns, uncertainty and a very bloated inefficient state which labour won't tackle head on despite their manifesto promises.

Add in US bubble, market highs not pricing in risk at all, no UK growth and pensions probably losing their attraction due to inheritance tax and likely tax breaks ending, I've followed buffet and locked in my profits and now going to down side risk protection so gone fully into cash for a month or two

I do think a great correction is coming as do some of the US investment gurus

Rather not it's an income stock for me, not a growth stock, with divi reinvested. Id much rather it be yielding 9 to 10% than because high price lower yield. Needs to stay c. 560 to.600.

Given latest gap growth issues, aviva disappointment, budget worries im expecting a correction for my re buy on.dec/jan when the full.statenof our dire economy (with no realistic fix coming from.labour) is exposed

Im.out folks. Just want to protect my downside risk until budget and AI bubble passes. Nothing to do with business at all hich i think is v strong. I will be back once through this uncertainty

Being a high debt business inflation could also be a good thing in eroding the debt if they can maintain top line inflation on income

Some many complexities here

But the reasons for current stubborn inflation are higher costs driven somewhat by tax costs

Must be more to it is need more time. Just in from work but I dont like the rns one bit.

Trying to get my head round the budget risks to L&G. My thoughts so far

1. Taxes on private pensions and lost ability to pass on outside inheritance tax makes it a less attractive investment vehicle resulting in revenue reduction

2. Tax increases pushes up inflation and so interest rates don't drop as currently planned. This reduces share price as double wammy on loan interest plus llhigher interest rates = lower valuation

3. But hiw much of this is offset by an aging population or encouraging younger pension savers if there is a harmonisedv30 % relief.

4. Reaves does some hard decision such as removing unaffordable triple lock which radically reduced future debt requirements of uk and so bond rates drop which increases share price

All in all alot of uncertainty and is it worth waiting in cash till the picture comes ckeaer after the budget

Reason for drop is OBR found another 20bn hole due to productivity gain assumptions not met

When will the clowns running the show realise cutting the 150bn waste is the ONLY way to fix the economy. Any entity carrying waste always dies eventually

Taxing out of this will nit work as it kills the uk even faster. Its destroying the diminushing valuable parts to feed the fat and growing waste. It will only work for a very short time. The pain must be taken by those in fat wastefull non value areas.

How stupid are these leaders

I thought the 70m trackers had bought by now. They can't wait otherwise they arent tracking

There isn't much you can't make a drink tbh

Thg or ingenuity related?

Just hope it stays down here till.i get divi reinvested

Why would they do that? hey would burn their own shorts if they reflected the good update in their target price option

But trackers are compelled to buy as they are comitted to contractual tracking errors

Dividend traders now gone. More great analyst recommendations

Looking v good to the long holders

No.panic here one of best businesses on ftse
