I'm a buyer too. Also L&G.

[carl79] 11/7/2016 19:33

im a buyer...all in my ISA and I look forward to nice dividends for years to come whilst interest rates remain next to non existent

Or the brave buy a few...

Hence it not moving todayAt first glance, general insurance giant Aviva (LSE: AV) may appear too good to be true to stock chasers. With earnings expected to double in 2016, the FTSE 100 (INDEXFTSE: UKX) stock currently trades on a P/E rating of 8.7 times, well below the benchmark of 10 times that's considered exceptionally cheap.And City forecasts of a 23.6p-per-share dividend yields a staggering 5.8%, a figure that mashes the big-cap average of 3.5% by some distance.But the result of last month's Brexit decision has forced me to reconsider my previously-bullish view of the firm. The full impact of the referendum is likely to take years to be felt. But the result on Aviva's asset management arm is already being seen -- the company was one of several financial firms to halt redemptions at its property fund last week.And while Aviva's extensive international exposure should take the sting out of weakness at its insurance division, the company still sources a sizeable chunk of its profits here in the UK, leaving it in severe peril should a recession occur. I reckon investors should give Aviva short shrift for the time being.

Not sure why insurers have fallen so far and failed to recover given overall market level remains healthy. Have prospects for Aviva fallen that far? What am I missing?

There is no such thing as specific reasoning in these markets...for a start the chart is not looking good....No Advice Intended....you do what suits you...

[edmundshaw] 08/7/2016 15:15

Retested again? What, from 2011, 2011 and 2013?

Surely ancient history with the new CEO Mark Wilson (from 2013) and new focused business profile. Do you have a specific reasoning?

[diku] 08/7/2016 13:53

Think that 300p could get retested again over the coming weeks...

[mj19] 08/7/2016 09:42

Even after positive news this share can't stay up.... Frustrating bought in at 3.62

[edmundshaw] 07/7/2016 22:42

Sounds reasonable Carl. Good luck.

[carl79] 07/7/2016 15:52

Shorters targeted AV recently - more greed than panic there - some of them are very good at what they do...but their actions cause the regular folk to panic and of course probably hit a few unsuspecting people's limit orders in the process...their released stock is then picked up on the cheap as the shorters close, profit made...

I topped up here and in Glencore...if I make short term losses, I will lose little sleep. These are in my ISA and I expect many years of profit and dividends.

[spacecake] 06/7/2016 21:42

I just don't get why the panic sellers are here, its very strange, it must be robot computers - can't be humans.

[philo124] 06/7/2016 16:14

Topped Up.

[nicksoj] 06/7/2016 16:11

An incredible bargain. Not quite as good as brexit Friday but should pay for my trip to LyonPanic sellers.... aaaaarrrggghhhhh!

[cyberian] 06/7/2016 11:02

Agree Dr. Biotech...just shows how negative the market can get with the recent hiccup on uncertainties over property values etc. However, customers need insurance and their pensions managed so life trudges on albeit at an uncertain pace. Like LGEN and a few others in the sector the management teams appear very strong and astute so I think that the market will start to regain some confidence over coming months. It would be probably helped if Mrs. May is given the keys to No.10 asap, and she will be seen as a much needed steady hand. Good luck here although a bit more invested in lgen for my sins at present. Finally have to say that the AV. company outline given this morning was quite reassuring in most respects but may take a little time to sink in...the analysts always trying to cover their backxxxx as usual, and therefore tend to over-react.

[chesty1] 06/7/2016 11:01

I hold sl. And watch AV. Both of these are a solid long term hold, market is just scaring folks out for cheap stock. Both have great divis and will ride this out.Be lucky to all.

[dr biotech] 06/7/2016 10:49

Whatever they said this morning it didn't do a lot for sentiment. Think we will be laid low here for sometime until it becomes clearer what Brexit actually means.

Once a run starts it is difficult to stop.

[chesty1] 05/7/2016 13:49

Aviva has announced it has done the same today... No reason for the sell off though just protecting everyone.

[uppompeii] 05/7/2016 09:09

Think it's down to SL. putting the brake on their property funds.
