I took a large position (10's thousands)... unfortunately at 66p..well underwatet...mentally had written them off.....flicker of hope today....long may it rise

Page 6 of the earning transcript call ..Du Plessis on record as saying the board intends to hold the dividend at 15.4p for 2 financial years due to increase investment plans......could be worse....makes it harder ( not impossible) to row back from.....happy with that....topping up next week Transcript worth a read (64 pages on iPad)

Thank god they didn't. Cut the dividend....Wed be a penny stock :)

I think the market will be reassured. The retained dividend, smaller pension deficit with an agreed plan ( when rates rise this will accelerate the deficit reduction) and profit up.......the worst is behind us.....slow climb north from here :)

I like your version better :) Just surprised at the timing of the sells.... No adverse article in the press ref sale... I see a bright future here but things like this dent my optimism

RNS showing 3 large director sells- Come 132k, Hanifan 89 k and Hodges 89k to cover statutory withholding liabilities for Tax....really in mid May? Just before results and ex dividend date? All received under the long term incentive plan so no requirement to sell. I am long here....but a smells a rat!

Needed a little diversification in my portfolio so bought in today at a reasonable price...not cheap. Having looked at books this looks like a boring slow burner of a share....I do like them:)

Enormous volume of boys after close. Fingers xed for results

Clearly the news over the weekend of a judicial review of by pension liabilities indicates the figures may not be great. There is alot of talk about dividend being cut. I think if they decide to cut ( I'm optimistic it will stay intact) I doubt it will be by much. Higher interest rates will arrive and will reduce the debt quicker than bt can increase contributions ( and the rate rises don't need to great). Gav has nailed himself to give and will have received the II phone calls already pressing the need for dividend to remain untouched. I'm here for long term...I think 3 yrs from now we will all be saying what an amazing entry point today's share price was... It will all work out....just don't have a time line

Nailed on :) Currently up 0.75% in states ADR

Fully agree...this will turn but not quickly...enjoy the dividend :)

Sorry fat finger mistake ...we were +0.6% up currently -0.15% on ADR.....either way market not spooked in the slightest.... I use market watch for adr. Ta

Currently trading up -6% in the states.....not too rattled over there..

All shares move up and down. To put a time frame on it is just a guess.... Peter Lynch ..famous fund manager is quoted as saying he rarely makes money in week 3 or 4 of owning a share, and usually not in month 3 or 4.....but by year 3 or 4 of ownership he has a handsome reward. Point 2... if the slater income fund sees fit to have ITV as the 8 th largest holding (>3%) I sleep easy......a very well run fund. Clearly if ITV disappoint I assume your selling up? Each to their own....that is the beauty of shares.....I'm here for 3-4 years, collecting and reinvesting until I think the value is excessive....I'm confident

I am long here and really hope for a reversal of fortune... The pressing concern for me is the diluted eps of 6p per share in the last update. With a 12 p dividend that means CNA is paying out 12p but receiving in eps 6p... Clearly not sustainable for long.....next results v important to show diluted eps growth ( ignore adjusted eps of 12 p as is too easy for a company to exclude one of write downs etc)

Clearly the pension position not improved. Bought in long here at 2.39...... bit nervous bout the dividend....I thought it was pretty safe.....reading the financial press it looks 50/50 for a cut

Signing off now for a sunny Weekend :)

Doubled holding today to 400 .... To be fair I considered BAT bye P/E here seems cheap.....read the Feb interview between CEO and credit suisse...she stated money to cover the dividend was not a concern....reassuring

This is the wrong share if you want excitement....but steady progress I will take :)

Hi Tomglan, Fully agree with you. My ethical dilemma was mainly they cost nearly £10 per packet....bloody rip off :)
