Agreed. I would go back in at £25.

Always like to see a director buy. It's not a huge amount given they already own 5.5m shares but it's a positive sign nonetheless.

I noticed that too. Clearly some sort of error with their graph/data. It happens quite frequently with them, but not usually to that extent, especially around closing time.

Was K3 not included in the IC top 100?

Pretty sure there was a thread on this a couple of months ago. Very likely to be a scam, brokers don't usuallyring shareholders out of the blue.

Another big fall today. Presumably due to the 'sell' note from Deutsche Bank. Their target price is now 500p.

The trading update says BEZ is still on target for a loss ratio in the mid 90s despite the catastrophe claims in Q3. GWP will be well over £4bn for the year, so FY21 profits should be over £250m. This is still underpriced.

The results aren't that bad at all.

What is crazy is that the share price is the same now as it was in June 2020. I'm back in.

Worth noting that Hiscox have their interims on the 3rd Nov and Lancashire Holdings on the 4th.

I suspect that HSX will have done well. We know from their recent RNS that LHE's results will be affected by large cat losses and losses in South Africa.

AllAtSea: broker ratings usually have a one year time frame.

I think all f the recent drop is due to covid worries. Intercontinental is not a useful comparison because it is so internationally focused, it makes most of its profits from the Far East and the US. It has actually stayed profitable throughout the pandemic.

The interim results for WTB on Tuesday will no doubt be a trigger for further movement in the SP.

I also think the results will be pretty good. They should show that BEZ are on target for an annual profit of around £250m to £280m, which by my reckoning makes the current p/e just 9.

Nice rise today. Hopefully we can see £27 again soon, I think the recent pull back was overdone.

3rd Q results due 3/11/21.

Doubt those figures are right looking at the share price! Remember LSE are just guessing which transactions are sales and which are buys. They don't actually hold this data ( and frequently get it wrong).

You can add Boohoo to that list.

Quantuma have just been appointed as the administrators for Derby County F.C. Could be a nice little earner... they apparently billed Bolton Wanderers around £1.5m for handling their administration a couple of years ago.

What would be the cost implications for ASC of switching to the FTSE be? Surely it would bring more stability to SP.

Would the increased red tape make it counter productive? Would the extra stamp duty payable stop people trading the share?

The only piece of connected news i can see today is the very small (0.1%)increase in spending by consumers at restaurants. Given its the 1st monthly increase since the pandemic began 17 months ago maybe some are seeing it as a big moment in the recovery.

Part of the reason for the drop today is the introduction of the lifetime cap on care costs of £86,000. The thinking is it might attract more competition as more Insurers enter the marketplace. Not sure it warrants a 2.4% drop in my view.

I also bought back in last week at 285p. BOO did very well for me this time last year so hoping for a repeat performance.
