Well I'm sure Bracke will pop in to say it's a temporary rise...

[philo124] 25/5/2016 15:11

Dunno, SL reflecting same sort of rise.

[uppompeii] 24/5/2016 20:59

Was this off the back of Old Mutual?

[philo124] 24/5/2016 18:29

Nice rise.

Cc - also waiting for entry point. Expect the ftse to drop a bit in next month before the vote.But price at mo is looking tempting.What to do ? Maybe buy some tomorrow and start the ball rolling.

What's up with this share price ? Company looks really well set?

[bracke] 11/5/2016 12:14

Decision is nigh.

The share price tested 420 (magenta line), rose to the Median line (middle red line) failed to break up and is heading back to 420. It needs to hold at 420 otherwise a test of the low at 400 is a fair probability.

Watching this one very carefully for an entry point. Can't decide between this and OML.

Curious.A month or so ago after results 495p

[nicksoj] 03/5/2016 09:59

A healthy spike this am. Bodes well for the days ahead.

Nearly 20 years ago I bought 2 pensions, both on identical terms with identical funds invested, 'market-related with-profits'. Both have beaten inflation, but my Aviva pension for 2016-7 will be 31% more than my Prudential pension. 'Nuff said?

Andrew and Steve - both interesting - I have a number of insurance trust funds and find their administration poor. Historically they have ripped off customers taking huge charges out of the premiums and in league with IFA's. Things have changed somewhat in recent years but they are still long winded, the majority poor fund managers and slow learners.

Andrew, I also hold Aviva and am also an insurance customer - I have to say my experience is very different from yours, I've always managed to speak to someone quite quickly and they've been very helpful. Having said that I've never had to make a claim. But their prices are very competitive, and I'm not sure if you know, but as a shareholder you are entitled to discounts on insurance - have a look on their website. They seemed to take me at my word when I told them I held shares - I didn't have to provide any details!

Cheers,
Steve.

I'm long Aviva, but will get out as soon as it's financially worthwhile, because:

I have personal experience of Aviva as a motor insurer and also, through being an attorney for an Alzheimers sufferer, as an equity release provider. In addition, through my business, I have experience of them as a provider of life and pensions and other financial services. In all cases their service and attention to customers is dreadful. Getting through to anyone is a nightmare, and once through, having a meaningful and intelligent conversation is nigh on impossible. Either one is speaking with an automated robot or someone reading from a script that takes no or scant notice of what is said to them.

Any business is conducted at a snail's pace, and they have hoops and other paraphernalia through which one must jump or otherwise engage, before they will do anything at all.

The last business I had such experience with was the Halifax; and my most joyful remembrance of them is telling a 'I won't be spoken to like that' employee that they weren't too big to go bust ... which is just what they did about three months afterwards!!

So: if Aviva don't sharpen up how they deal with customers, personal and business, they will also not prosper for much longer; hence my desire to sell out asap.

Those who disagree with me, please buy the shares, and when the price has gone up sufficiently, I will gladly unload. So come on boys, buy, buy, pleeeese! :)

The following was included in their Final Results published on 10/3...

Final Results -

"In November 2014, the Financial Conduct Authority removed the requirement in the Disclosure and Transparency Rules to publish quarterly interim management statements (IMS). After careful consideration, the Board has determined that Aviva should no longer provide IMS disclosures for 1Q and 3Q, with immediate effect."

7th May last year - can not find for this year.

[nicksoj] 21/4/2016 08:04

Any idea if or when a quarterly update is coming out?

[brianarthur1939] 15/4/2016 09:25

Right, that settles it. I was going to vote for Brexit, but now that Buywell3 is recommending an exit, I shall vote to stay in. Buywell3 is always wrong on everything.

[alphorn] 13/4/2016 16:00

Stability may well attract buyers in the coming months. Savings/pensions have to go somewhere. Closer to £5 would suit me well. ;)

[edmundshaw] 13/4/2016 15:55

The Buywell buy signal was spot on. I bought shortly before he predicted sub £4 (cum div) and now in profit after expenses plus a 14p dividend. :-)

Good day uppompeii

You never know in the current conditions. Any excuse to take the market up or down but that's nothing new. It just seems more blatant these days.

[uppompeii] 13/4/2016 13:21

Yet a long while I hope my friend.
