stop moaning the lot of you. There is no manipulation - you are free to buy and sell at the prevailing market rate which, by my calculation, is extremely low. I've loaded up on AIB. €2.67 is a pittance for this.... will continue buying on the lower side.... why would I buy at €5.67? sometime interest rates will start to rise. I am long term (10 years). So so cheap for the largest lender in Ireland....

cheaper and cheaper she goes and ex dividend coming... waiting

Allatsea... you would never guess you made any money with all the moaning on here.

Moving in a narrow range of £10-£11.50 for months now.... not much movement upwards or downwards. I'm holding on here - but not sure of the long-term prospects of this...

Dividendchaser - difference of opinion. This is a solid company worth £6 per share +. I love it when it goes down, because (a) I am in no rush to sell (5 year plan and all that) and (b) means I can top up on a solid dividend paying share....
My target for next purchase £4 or even better if below...

dividendchaser - couldnt give a jot what you think of me.... I'm heavily invested across the market... look at these things long term!

Pat 2014 - Irrelevant. UK leaving and that is that... new Government and massive spending plans might shake everything up!

People are far too negative on banks! Investing more in RBS shares - thoroughly undervalued and unappreciated!

Richard 365054... I do see both sides and I do fully appreciate your points of view. I'm not so blind that I cannot see other's arguments. Without doubt the strain on public sector services has been there for all to see as has the pressure on housing and other aspects of people's lives. There is a lot I DO NOT LIKE ABOUT THE EU, believe me, and I fully accept the DEMOCRATIC wishes of the people. I hope I am not right in thinking that this decade will see growth rates well short of the last one and the one before that, who knows. But 2020 certainly has been a bad start for British quoted companies. The economy should be accelerating at 4-5% per annum following the crash and it has stalled!

I don't think the Bank of England understand anything about the MODERN economy at all. The relationship between inflation and interest rates is probably now close to 'ZERO'. We have 1.3% inflation (as of this month) and 0.75% interest rates. Cutting interest rates will do 'ZERO' to raise prices. Lower interest rates have benefited those with property (and more so those who have large properties) and increased capital accumulation. Their propensity to consume more is practically 'zero'. We now have for some time negative bond yields with banks saving people's money and paying for the priviledge. There is something quite dramatic happening across the globe and I can't put my finger on it, but Central Banks need to look outside of interest rates as the basis for stimulating the economy. Not sure Keynesian mass Government spending is the solution either. How do you stimulate an economy where people are ultra pessimistic?

i am hoping for a drop too!

Sirlearie - the performance of the bank and the performance of the share price have long diverged... the share price performance has damn all to do with the performance of the bank - lets remember that when the share price was 90+ pence, this bank was making little money. Now its making billions and the share price has dropped. The cause - is very clearly the most appalling decision of the electorate to leave a large trading bloc and to go it alone in the world. BREXIT - and I accept we are leaving - is the principle and probably sole cause of the poor performance. I have £100k of shares in Lloyds and there is not a chance I will be selling sub 60 pence. People haven't yet caught up to the fact that banks are built on much more solid conditions today than at any time in the past. STRONG BUY

Davielad - the lovely rules of this Board means people temper their inner thoughts and views so as not to offend people.... I wish people would stop whining that the company is failing.... that is a complete load of tosh! €3 billion profit last year is NOT FAILING! The market doesn't like sensible company leaders who are not reckless.... they don't like the massive spare capital of £12 billion.... or the fact its paying down its debt quicker than most other companies. Shareholders dont like that the profitable Asian unit is being held on to.... Those are all the things I like about Aviva.... the dividend is terrible (28 pence and growing)

Boring or charismatic - it makes little odds to the share price.... profit is the bottom line and that has performed well over last five years...

Caddy - really - you might believe your own negativity. If you invested £10,000 in Aviva in 2012, your dividends would be £4,500. That's an exit value of £14,500 in those 8 years.... Isn't it terrible! lol

If it goes sub £4.00 - I am investing another £30k.

Caddy - I think you have a disproportionately negative view. You bought 8 years ago at £4.11 and have received £1.84 in dividends. The share price is roughly £4.11, so you have made a profit of 45% in that time. What are you complaining about? What bank account has paid anything like 45% in those 8 years.... This company isn't failing - how can you say anything remotely of the nature. True, the share price hasn't reacted to the billions of profit this company makes, but a dividend growth of 45% is NOT FAILING! Remember dividends are only paid if it makes a profit, which it has over the last 8 years... so take a depression glasses off your forehead and start looking at the reality! Failure is defined as a company making a loss or massive loss....

Severely undervalued now. I get access to my share account within the next few weeks and I have substantial dividends built up, so I know where my money is going to be invested.... this is just too cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEEMS to be large movement upwards today... anything a foot?

I don't think this is a Debenhams or Carillion. It has a compelling and increasingly good offering that attracts a lot of people... the malaise is macro-economic to be honest - the increase in the living wage no helping the bottom line... Even if it goes under (which I doubt), it will leave a massive hole in the market for card products that someone will have to fill...
