Take some comfort from the fact that over the last week Aviva is down 0.57%

The competition has registered falls ranging from 3.58% to 6.09%

Interesting comment on their website:-

"Our underwriting appetite is industry agnostic....."

I wonder who dreamed up that one?

...and what happens!!!! SP goes down by nearly 5%!!

"Hopefully we get confirmation of publication next week"

From whom? It won't warrant a RNS and Sareum's Investor Relations ain't renowned for their alacrity.

By the by why does such a piddling company need two firms of solicitors with associated retaining fees?

Buyers now exceed sellers so many seem to be ignoring the base reason for today's fall

Folk still piling in though. Also we have fared much better than L&G and Phoenix but slightly worse than the Pru.

At this price historic yield of over 7% but will it be maintained in the upcoming Final.??

Yep-no positive news for nearly 7 months-BoD continue to rake it in and LTH's continue to suck on hind tit as our American Cousins put it so colourfully. T'was ever thus but now getting extremely tedious.

I continue to wonder what Parker ACTUALLY does for the three days a week/£100k pa he is supposed to devote to the company. He is not involved with the techno side, that is down to Tim et al, so what is he doing????? One would hope knocking on doors for deals (in between going on jollies. San Francisco this month isn't it?)

Much is said of "shareholder value" by the BoD but having just looked quickly at figures for fundraising, of whatever ilk, (and it was a quick shufti so maybe open to question by better minds than mine) nearly 55 million new shares have been issued since August 2023. OK some issued to HNWI investors but big chunks due to two disastrous forays into the finance market

As at 3.8 23 70,072,000 shares in issue worth £63.24million

As at 31.12.24 124,930,00 shares in issue worth £30.61 million.

AND all this against a background of receipt of "good news"

If one of you Gurus can tell me this is progress then I will be happy to listen and be educated.

Happy New Year to all Sareumites-may 2025 see us banging in orders for a new luxury rowing boat ( I gave up the idea of a yacht years ago!)

Agreed. 737 has always been a sideshow in the hands of incompetents so no point in blaming Parker et al. They MUST now focus on us being taken out completely-licensing can only further the pain

... because some meddling Aussie journalist started digging for dirt on Petrofac over 7 years ago resulting on the SFO getting their claws into us

I wonder who paid him/her

With you all the way Colbalt-too much dreaming about telephone numbers on this BB and not enough pragmatism.

IMHO Parker is all p... and w..d and his adventures into the finance market this year have been a disaster.

TM et al are getting on in years and I fear their large shareholdings would allow them to accept a p..s por offer and still walk away with big smiles on their faces.

We shall see- I may be totally wrong and I hope that 2025 will see a big turn in our fortunes but am not holding my breath.

GLA

Shareholder since Jan 2015-haven't received anything

Yes, have a Good One all Sareumites and let's hope that 2025 sees us welcoming a sharp upturn in our fortunes

Our old friends Peel Hunt?? If that is what they are saying then they must be right. I mean, look at how we benefitted from their intervention/wisdom.

Point taken but it don't change the fact that a big fat divi earner has just taken on board a can of worms which the pundits are saying they may have difficulty digesting even just "ITwise", a problem that has plagued the insurance sector with its history of mergers etc for many years. Just hope they have some antacid tablets to hand.

".....and they got a very easy ride considering what's happened to the SP."

They always do, year after year!!

Oh very erudite-did it take you long to dream it up

You mean like Peel Hunt did??

Zilch as usual.

SP down 1% at the open, continuing its slide since dear Amanda went on her ego trip and 10% since August. How much further I wonder? Seems the great divi aspect is losing its shine
