Saga and Lloyds hit SP parity earlier - chalk and cheese I know but which is the best prospect?

1.4% - don't all rush at once!

Sorry if this was posted last month but was snooping around on yogonet following Morbox post.

Not new news but very exciting. GLA

I'll take 70P !

I don't think SAGA is in a position to buy anything. Top priority should be pay down debt and increase profitability. The extended acquisition trail has led to the downfall of so many companies recently. On the other hand, I'd gladly forego my dividend if they could expand the company in a responsible way using that revenue stream.

Sad to lose another big brand - feel for all the staff (home and abroad), the hotels and affected people.
I think SAGA sp is currently depressed by this event.
Hopefully will move forwards soon. GLA

Break out soon? Opened at 234!!

"Saga Cruises only for Brits"
Idiots at cruise.co.uk did this. Saga signed it off without checking. A ridiculous error to come at a very delicate point of SP recovery. I'm disappointed but think it's just a temporary setback - one we could definitely did't need!!

Likely to drop at ex-div date not payment date :)
Lovely rise and getting a feeling of momentum. 60p could be within days rather than weeks.

"So Goldmans Sachs cuts Lloyd’s to a sell with a target of 47p !
I think this is something to worry about because having been to several meetings with GS they always seem to know what’s round the corner ."
The same Goldman Sachs that said buy Vodaphone at £3 less than 2 yrs ago (bumbled along at £1.20-£1.60 ever since) -
also -
From 2005 to 2007, Goldman issued and underwrote many mortgages and securities that had been backed by residential loans borrowed by consumers with shoddy credit ratings. That helped tip the economy into recession after the housing bubble burst in 2007, leading to a tsunami of foreclosures and delinquencies. That caused billions of dollars in losses for investors. The settlement mentioned mortgage loans that had been originated by Countrywide, Fremont, and others. Countrywide was bought by Bank of America is early 2008. Fremont is no longer in business.

Goldman agreed to pay $2.39 billion in civil penalties, and another $1.8 billion in relief in the form of loan forgiveness and financing for affordable housing. An additional $875 million will be paid in cash to resolve claims from other federal and state entities.

Classy company that Doris would love to cosy up to.........

Before you stop loss at £2, consider the trend and possibility of take over - could easily hit £3 in a short space of time.......

It might well, in good time i.e. when both liners are returning a healthy profit.
Then the SP should steadily rise to £2+.
I will be tempted to sell at every stage from 50p upwards but if things look good I hope to hold long term.
GLA

Still some way short of my 64P break even but last 2 days trend is the most positive for a few weeks. Onwards and upwards.....

Struth, break even..... Would love £3.................

Unlike the Daily Mail and Telegraph that present a balanced view for those capable of self thought....................
Brextreemist vs Remainer IQ (median) has been measured at 83 vs 124. Age (median) 67 vs 38. In a generation the country will be 60:40 for remain.

It would be interesting to know what proportion of false claims originate from Merseyside / West Midlands - and I hope they're building a database of fraudsters to share with the police / insurance companies.

If no-deal isn't already factored into the the current sp we're all f$£%ed. If we leave with a deal / don't leave the sp will fly so maybe you should hedge and buy a tranche now............

30% upside is only 235. That would be a disaster for WMH that has, until recently, been valued £3-4. I'd be okay with £3 but nothing lower.

Has this just begun?
