Aviva declared a final dividend for the year ending December 31 2013 of 9.4p per share on its ordinary shares. It has now been announced that it will be paid on 16 May 2014 to shareholders on the record on 4 April 2014.

You've lost me ! Shares generally drop by the value of the divi ? Scarey stuff. g.l.

5000 x 9.4p = £470.00 or if you go with the drip it will be roughly another 100 shares..

Very strange trading today ? Virtually no volume and a low of 48p all the way up to 57p ?

God nooooo !!! i would hate to have seen a bad rns... QRM didn't top up and this is dropping like a stone again....more fertilizer needed..

Phc reported today. Encouraging results...

Not a bad rns...

Schuuuuh. It seems to be working....

we will be able to buy more shares with the divi :-)

to be writing this one off ! We have have had no news but the company is only approaching 3 months old in this guise. Contracts and due diligence don't happen overnight with the organisations that Rm2 are hoping to do business with...I suspect in a years time we will be kicking ourselves that we didn't load up at this price. Nothing has changed with the fundamentals and the reasons i bought Rm2. G.l. all shareholders !!

Exactly my point.. in the first instance people didn't even know they could shop around ? How is the average "joe" going to invest his lump sum for the rest of his god given ? The government will snaffle 20% of the lump sum when more than 25% is cashed... hmmmmm.. nice earner....its going to end in tears..

Someone paid 13.5p first thing this morning. Never a good thing to buy early on a slow moving share like this..

Time for a pint and a game of bingo !!!

This is a minefield ! Obviously quite a difference in pensions so each is going to have to look at theirs very closely when the time comes. Government index linked pensions will be hard to beat. I can understand people taking the full lump sum when the pension pot is small but how many of us should be put in charge of a large sum which is possibly need to fund a retirement for 25-30 years.... Invest in property ! If this was on the go 7 or 8 years ago and pensions lump sums were invested in property, in certain areas, there would be quite a deficit. I know bank managers who lost their shirts on the stock market after the crash so how is the individual with no experince going to fare? Buy into life insurance companies ! Perhaps pop down to your local friendly financial adviser and let him load up on commission. Winners and losers :-)

Ease the burden on the 13 million people with defined contribution pension schemes by removing the cap on the amount they can take out of their pension pot. Anyone who takes more than a quarter of their pension tax free will no longer face the current "punitive" 55% tax rate. They will instead be taxed at the normal marginal rates.

From **************: Tuesday 18th March 2014------Quoram (QRM), the investment company, saw its shares fall by 0.025p to 0.14p after announcing results for the six months to December 2013. Net assets fell from 0.33p to 0.25p per share over the period after the firm posted an operating loss of 795,000 pounds. This was mainly a result of declines in the carrying value of quoted investments including AIM listed Wessex Exploration and Plant Health Care. The decline in the value of Wessex largely offset an additional 1.88 million pounds raised in March 2013.

Would agree with that..

Not convinced that we have reached bottom yet but couldn't resist averaging down this morning.... 'a fool and his money' :-)

"NO"..... a real punt in the dark... they seem to be terrified of making an investment with the remaining 1.8 million. They could have averaged down on Phc but for an "investment company" to have only made one investment in 9 months beggars belief ? Imo this company perhaps appears to be someones plaything and is not being taken seriously....

169k buy... may stop the rot..
