"The bank (Barclays) said 'overweight' rated Aviva offers the most diversified UK insurance business, with strong management and an attractive total capital return."

Clunge

He negs on the Sareum BB as well and poss. many others

..... you cunning farsighted persons bought 43k shares just before the close yesterday!!!???

...in freedom of speech, greatly under threat nowadays and I know there is much frustration about various aspects of the company, its stagnating/falling SP, "jam tomorrow" etc etc. but c'mon Chaps, hacking chunks off each other, especially behind the protection of anonymity, achieves absolutely nothing.

We're all in the same boat and reasoned, even very pointed, criticism is useful and constructive-pure mudslinging achieves the exact opposite.

While sharing the discontent with Parker's performance to date, including his urbane assurances at Q&A and AGM, we need to be careful what we wish for. IF he chose to throw up £58kpa and move on to pastures new, however unlikely, would it not send the wrong message to the market and depress the present woeful SP even further?

Just MHO

Forward it to Petrofac IR Dept.!!!!

Contradict themselves.

First they say phasing out anything to do with weapons then few paras later:-

"Aviva is a significant investor in UK defence companies, with £600m invested in the sector’s equities, and we have no intention of changing this.”

Which?

"naked shorting" is illegal per EU regs legacy but there have been calls for it to be reinstated. However due to loopholes in the regs and paper/electronic trading systems it still happens.

Well researched post Brighty, but having opportunities is one thing: having a go-getting BoD is another completely.

We have had many years of always the bridesmaid never the bride. Let's hope we get to the altar with 1801/737 before too long and before the grim reaper starts to take more than a passing interest ( as he did with one of our number just recently "An unwelcome hug from the Grim Reaper" was the wording I think)

"I loathe derivative products generally firstly because they are too complicated for an average human being to understand....."

The Headline on the cover of one of the last editions of a banking journal of about 40 years ago read

"Derivatives-does anyone know the real risks" or similar.

Plus ca change!!

... to add to the progress chart.

Share price?? zzzzzzzzzzzz/snore

"Aviva" perhaps and sorry to hear your house insurance "has goning through the roof" This prescriptive text is all very well but.......

"Meanwhile 737 is apparently being considered by Pharma for Combo trialling"

"Apparently"? From where did you obtain this and with whom is the trialling to take place?

Point well taken Guitarsolo.

I suppose what I was trying to say rather clumsily was, it is a dangerous game when companies partially owned by the man in the street, either directly or indirectly via pension fund investments, assume that they can start meddling in politics, an action which may well be ultra vires their M&AA and, in a roundabout way be a vehicle whereby the BoD can peddle their own personal opinions under the guise of company policy.

"I have sent an email to IR"

Best of luck Dark_Knight-don't hold your breath. I have tried in the past-all ignored-so much for "Investor Relations"

Sure is and unfortunately big companies are getting badly infected, witness the NatWest/Coutts/Farage debacle in which Alison Rose chose to break what used to be the most sacrosanct of all banking rules, absolute strict confidentiality when

making what must rank as the most astonishing decision in banking history, canning a customer because you don't agree with his views on contemporary society.

Let's just hope Blanc and the BoD restrict themselves to the occasional pop at the government: refusing to insure certain

persons because of their opinions, while appearing to be beyond the pale, might also appear feasible under this present social regime where anything seems possible eg removing books from libraries because they "offend" a minuscule section of the population.

Stick to your last Amanda.

Very philanthropic I'm sure but making endless snide comments does NOT help.

Ok-point taken. Presumably then you have sold your complete holding, always assuming you had one of course, in which case why are you still posting every day and overplaying the tough market trader part?

"It's OVER for PFC"

Enlighten us with your expertise please-list valid reasons why you make such a sweeping statement.

Me too Bobbler-long may you continue same!✌
