We don't like to get too excited, you want major ups and downs, mergers and demergers then this isn't the share for you, definitely got off at the wrong stop. This is the pretty consistent route, little bit of general growth, reliable dividends, and take a nap at 15:00 bus. Were definitely not going under any low bridges, I don't intend to take a haircut..... Is it nap time yet?

Not sure, looks like a load of big chunky buys this morning, and some sells later in the day... Someone looks to have bought a few chunks, and the price has hiked, and then they took their top slice....

A share buy back, just as the stock market has dipped off the back of a war in Ukraine.... Hmmm - Fortuitous timing, thanks Aviva board, you have been d*ck*ng your shareholders about for several years and now you announce this. Think I would rather had a one off dividend so I can go an invest in a share that isn't a dog, and doesn't have a board sitting behind it who appear over the last 5 years to not have a clue......

Feels like a slight over-reaction. There was relatively strong growth across the board, with the probable exception of the Reed Exhibitions business with was massively impacted by Covid, but which still grew in the 2nd half of 2021 (a strong bounce back). Gut feel is that 2022 will be a much stronger year with the Legal, medical and research business continuing steady growth and Exhibitions continuing to contribute far more to the revenue and profits throughout the year. This is a strong buy for me, all of the fundamentals of a strong business are there, just don't really understand the market reaction....

Looks like CITI group changing to Neutral stance, and the Fed rumours of interest rate hikes. Overblown reaction me thinks, but ho hum.

More concerned with todays drop, which doesn't seem to have a reason that I can see. Very odd - Still digging in to why?

Agree, it's a very boring share in a well managed company that seems to continue to perform. I like boring, I like the dividends, a bit more growth would be nice, but I can live with that. No need for excitement thanks....

US markets are starting to look like a casino. No way that a lot of the stocks can justify their listing prices, just a lot of hype and wind. We know the consequences of this from history. That combined with the significantly under reported financial troubles in China suggests that a fall is coming. Unfortunately with the intertwined nature of the global stock market, that will have far reaching consequences. If this dog of a share can get to 4.40 I am out of this one, the dividends are nice but the lack of growth, and recovery is poor.

Agreed, lots of investors have lost the will to live. Sitting on a very fat loss myself, can't see a recovery as I don't see anyone on the board who could lead it in to the future. Sad state of affairs, and as for LC... well..

Happy days, good to see this finally doing what I expected it to do a couple of months back. Great news, hopefully onwards and upwards, I can see 1.55 of the back of this. Be interesting to see what the US market makes of this later today.

Got to love a cheery start to the week... This is old news, they were talking about this in the 80's....

Well say goodbye to your money then, as it's the boring circles, and research that helps identify winners in the market.

Sympathies, My average is just over 0.381p and I have 550,000 of these tickets, thank god I also invested in SLP at the same time to offset the losses. Still stings, and like yourself, very little faith that LC will turn this around now. Lessons learnt, it does what it says on the tin... Investment funds and risk spreading is the way forwards, it's safe and boring, but better than getting shafted....

God it's lonely on this board. Pleased to see the price rise here, suspect it will top out at around £21.50 - £22.00 just before the summer break, some good news from the CFO recently, so a lot of positives, and the dividend is still a good payout....

Erm 5p actually....

Firstly as a long term holder with a current significant loss, I think this is positive news. Getting out of coal is way overdue, as without the financial backup to develop even clean coal power generation, it's unlikely that anyone is going to JV or put significant funds in to new projects for what is perceived as a dirty fuel. What I would like to see if a credible plan for the new projects, along with a clear view of the Financial model. Sort of feels like the usual LC smoke and mirrors to be honest, so I don't hold out much hope, but the project itself seems to press the right buttons that might encourage some additional funding or JV to actually get it over the line.

Pretty hard to go in any other direction, having said the gravitational pull of LC's lead boots might just drag us down further in to the pit of despair, and a zero net value....

Been an Aviva investor for 9 years, and apart from the reasonable dividends the share price has been a disaster. My average is about 10% over todays price, so if it reaches those heights, I am out of here, and moving on to a broader investment policy, to be honest, I think I am getting out of individual shares and moving to investment trusts wholesale....

Other good dividend shares IMHO - NG (National Grid), REL (RELX group), CBG (Close Brothers Group). Might also suggest that each has a little bit of growth in them as well. As always DYOR but definitely worth a look if it's dividend return you are after. Other alternatives to spread any risk are obviously investment ISAs but you need to spend the time looking for the good ones, as there are some real dogs out there...

Been a while since I bought these at 10p a share, I am loving this level of growth, and all on my 19th Wedding anniversary as well, the missus will be happy! Top sliced this last year, and that's sitting in RR with a healthy profit as well. Did the planets align and I just didn't notice... £2.35 seems reasonable so tend to agree this has an upward trajectory to that point.
