Shatter you seem to be correct,let us hope it stays that way.AV will shrug them off I'am sure.
Hi Farmertally.I read an article while looking over Aviva a few weeks ago that indicated that no major hedge funds that specialise shorting companies that are experiencing sp pressure are interested in Aviva at the moment.
I believe Aviva to be now one of a number of excellent companies that fit this category,thus creating a good window as to invest long term with security of regular dividends at favourable rates to ease turbulance in sp and market fluctuations.I added to my AV holding before xd at about 417p.
Aviva is a well run company and have committed to a progressive dividend policy.Nothing is certain in share holding of any company ,Aviva is worth at least a fiver a pop at these uncertain times,Historically worth much more.I have about 30% of my portfolio invested in AV as LT income investment and dip in and out on sp lows.The adding of AV shares I have a target price of 500p.
Brokers are positive at the moment on AV and come into my due diligence before investing in any share,also historic dividend payments during market crisis as from 2008.I understand that these points are only theory but give confidence on holding for growth and long term investment.I have dipped in and out of AV with good results since 2008 market crash and am happy holding long term for excellent divi.
All the Georgey .
Looking at previous and present ho;dings seems maybe a slight increase in holdings.Could have helped sp.Also short positions look positive for sp too.
Can any one else add.
Any news that a General Election is kicked into the very long grass is positive for RMG.Corbs was bleating his usual about re privatisation for utilities and maybe RMG a while back.Any hint of a GE is not good for sp.Into a profit today,have 3 quid target.
All the Georgey.
Fall today due to maybe some fat cats have sold a chunk on the cheap.Off loaded a holding.maybe.
Interesting info.
Is possibility a Corbyn government priced in here.His rhetoric of re privatisation must be weighing on RMG and utility sp's.If this fades it will lift sp's.
ATB.
Yeah,could be a goer,I wiill write to RMG on our thoughts on expansion into food sector,lots of us should put it to them to get it on the board table.Ocado sp has soared after contract wins with more in their pipeline.The dream is on ...RMG sp 7 quid a pop.
All the Georgey.
RMG board need to start thinking outside the box,their own spectrum.They need to get feelers out to sign new contracts as Ocado is doing.Why not move into the food sector in a massive way and shell shock market and others,frighten other van owners such as Ocado to death.Get talking to supermarkets with view to long term delivery contracts or with a view to managing deliveries so as supermarkets can concentrate on core competition problems.
.It would be easy to convert some current RMG vehicles with coolers or add suitable vehicles.It would be terrific to see a Royal Mail van and driver deliver my weekly shop.Even a whisper from management of this would spook markets for RMG positivity. Iceland supermarket will be all ears.
Go on RMG give it a go.
All the Georgey.
Will top up if negative at near close.
ATB. to all.
In at 262p
I,m in.
272p.
Best of luck all.
Divi could be cut,suspended or even wiped off the chalk board.I will be investing on assumption of my due diligence on RMG. So should all.SP usually suffers on divi reductions.
What was the muses of Shakespeare....' All that glitters.....
All the Georgey mate and best of luck to all of us.
Thanks for clarification Derek.Final 30 % sold in 2015,(am I correct on this).If board do not get this right then a divi cut is inevitable.I am buying at end of day if sp in neg'area on presumption of future divi cut and with subsequent sp drop to buy more.
The divi will be the first item reviewed if negative reporting materialises.A divi cut will not be a shock in my risk investment in RMG.A 50% divi shave must be in all research here.
All the Georgey to all riskers.
I am planning to buy a few of these if the sp is still in neg' territory just before close today.Any views on possible divi cut.
Any views on a possible takeover.Public still owns a portion of RMG,can a takeover occur?
Ten percentish yield ,seems a bit shoulder shrugging.
Great couple of days.I have just sold 50% of my Wood Group holdings a couple of minutes ago at good profit (Could not resist).Reporting of ops is encouraging .When merger costs are ironed out WG will be showing good profits if oil price holds up.The savings in running expenditure in both companies combined I think are referred to as ' cost synergies'( 2 together are more efficient than separate).
I have banked some profit because I have not seen any reports about AMEC investigation on fraudulent behaviour.
Maybe sp rise over last 2 days has been affected by leakage of some news from SFO as well as the latest positive reporting.
Any news on SFO investigation ,please post.
All the Georgey.
News from TD direct is that Esure have been in talks with Bain Capital about an outright buyout .This is a possible bid at the moment.I have flogged off half of mr E sure holdings at a good profit,decided to keep in the game here to see what unfolds .
Take in mind that the situation is at possible level when thinking about your moves.
All the Georgey.
Well not much else to do today.Might as well buy another chunk of these babies.Good divi,maybe even a special divi,or even better a TO offer.
All the best to all riskers.
Been looking at this a few weeks now.In a single sentence ,what happened here,sp spiralled from highs historically of over 6 quid,divi seemingly wiped.SP maybe over it.s solum.
Yes jl5006,going the right way indeed long may it last.I topped up this morning ,nice move since.Bought in a few weeks ago,good rise since. These have good divi and could be a take over target.News is E Sure founder is trying to offload his lot .The amount of shares he owns and wants to sell would trigger take over move.E Sure will fly over 3 quid a pop if he finds a buyer. Nice divi return while we wait for a bid or hold long term for income.Share price history, results,divi yield,special divis and a strong maybe bid have drawn me to E Sure. All the Georgey to all in here.Let,s hope E Sure turns out indeed to be an A star sure thing .
Query answer. Google Unaoil / Amec sfo investigation.Some info provided. Nice rise today.See what next week brings.Decent reporting and recent fast ascension of oil price is squeezing this higher.If oil price retreats sp could copy.Let's get SFO out of the closet and move on. Divi due next week.17th 16.64p All the georgey too all oilies everywhere .
