Hope it keeps going up as Friends life tracking it and with 24.1p final divi from Friends this looks like a match made in heaven!!! Lets hope so!!! I'm buying into friends life for the divi and then get Aviva shares.
Looks like its on an upward trajectory and with the divi being restored this year and a stronger more focussed business model and management team then future looks bright IMO.
feel like a lone voice in the wilderness here!!! Very happy with where this one looks like its going and would be surprised if not a target, as was ASW, by private equity at over £9.
One would think its a good time to buy as will get it cheap will little resistance?? If Khotin has lots of $ then he can do it as i assume he has but if in roubles then maybe not so good. Hard to know. Just wish they would get on with it so we can all move on.
Price down again and the spread is high at 7%. Will the divi be maintained at current levels??? If so then worth a punt and if it recovers then should be fine but a high divi% always worries me as difficult to maintain.
excellent commentary as usual. I am in Afren and agree that it is a better bet than exi but still hope that we will get a half decent price in the end whenever that may be. tempted to dip in at a low level at this price as how much lower can it go????????
