So has the BoD.
I have asked 3 times how much these much trumpeted non-exec. appointments are going to cost us.
I have not even received an acknowledgement. The folk up at Pampisford display an arrogance towards us shareholders which is unbelievable
Cynical?? You're damned right I am-like many others I am fed up to the rear molars with the total absence of communication skills of these people.Company Directors??? What a joke.
I hope those of you who attend the AGM make it clear to the BoD (if they deign to attend of course!) that us SI's are really p....d off at present.

Once again testosterone fuelled posturing by the so-called world leaders drops us all in the do do.Apart from our own dear PM of course-not sure how she is fuelled (or should that be "fooled"?)

"Poor rise"??
We seem to be in free fall at present-back to where we were just before Christmas 2017.

Dear, dear Sierra-down another 5% today to a new 52 week low, but who knows, there's always tomorrow (and tomorrow and tomorrow.................................) for both companies.

I emailed them and asked. All I got was a load of waffle about
" Unfortunately, there has been a sharp fall in global stock markets in the last quarter with the FTSE 100 down around 8% for the year to date"

"The UK Insurance sector has come under particular pressure,"

".... we remain on track to deliver our Full Year 2018 targets"

"The departure of Mark Wilson was not associated with any issues with regard to the underlying trading on the business"

. " The search for a successor has commenced and is expected to be completed within the next three months. Mark Wilson will remain with the group until April 2019 and will assist with the planned and orderly transition."

etcetc.

In response to them I said:-
"Thank you for your comprehensive response.
However it does nothing to justify Aviva's appalling performance when compared with your major competitors in the shape of Legal & General and Prudential over the last 10 years:
L&G Nov 2008 68.6p
Nov 2018 245.3p +257%

Prudential Nov 2008 322p
Nov 2018 1,575p +389%

Aviva Nov 2008 380.5
Nov 2018 415.2 +9%

I think the figures speak for themselves unless, of course, you can quote extremely extenuating circumstances."

To date I have not received a response.

Ignorance the above figures-down another 2% this morning.

They announce something positive and their sp goes down nearly 4%.
I give up.

"Unfortunately we are stuck within a time when the MMs don't seem to factor any of the future prospects of the company into the share price."
Maybe because they are a bit more savvy than we are?

Mmm Sounds positive but market not impressed.

Yep-looking for the crock of gold at the end, which, as we all know is a myth.

Good question!!! Also why has the SP not reacted accordingly or are the MM's still munching their bagels?
What does this company have to do to produce a worthwhile boost in the SP?

Now 6675 to sell-lowest for 2 years-how much lower whilst we continue to hang on and on and on and on...........

Quite right Alto-I seem to forget things very easily nowadays!

Good thinking Alto 1 but I do think it would be a bit obvious if AQR suddenly made a significant move just before
the SFO made an announcement. However worth keeping a watch as you say.
As for a shorter feeling bad about dragging a good company down, I have very mixed feelings!!!!!!!!!

News from the SFO??
Their hatchet job on Rolls Royce took 4 years.
Don't forget they're 9 'til 5 Civil Servants trying to justify their pampered lifestyle, index-linked pensions etc. so there is no way they are going to rush around on the PFC investigation (or any other for that matter).
Cynical?? After years of dealing with those in the Public Sector I can assure you "pragmatic" is more appropriate.

" ......just wondering if choosing December 18th was tactical as many will have finished work by then ?"

Spot on!! All minds on the "Festive Season" so no chance of an AGM beset by awkward questions from pissed off shareholders

Investor confidence? Mmmm-a concept I seem to remember from the dim and distant past but now a fond memory especially of a company which can't even be bothered to answer or even acknowledge legitimate investor queries.
Before someone jumps down my throat, I KNOW they are busy people but even small companies have someone to field
communications

Moving about a bit-now said to be down 4% , but whatever the case now .0067 to sell

Sorry-am I missing something?
We're down 13% this morning (ignore the figures above-they're rubbish)
PYC is up 25%.
Plse. explain the correlation

"....although I suspect the big funds would have an early tip off if this were imminent. Just like they did before the SFO case was announced!"

Quite so-that was scandalous and smacked heavily of a leak from some oik in the SFO to one of his chums after one too many sherbets
