Aviva Share Discussion Threads

I think AV are trying to dump the broker channel
and move everyone onto Direct. That way they
can selectively fix the more or less crooked price
comparison sites and the mug punter wont know the
difference.

Well now I can see why the high premium Phil, Aviva obviously have a good Gloucester petrolhead risk assessment algorithm :-)

Seriously, your personal experience is not very objective evidence. It is like me not investing in, say, Morrisons just because I wouldn't set foot in one unless it was the only food shop within 50 miles. Although, to undermine my own argument, I probably wouldn't...

Small adjustment this morning; remain net long Aviva. Boring may be good at the moment?

[philo124] 26/11/2016 20:57

Good. Obviously you don't live in Gloucester or drive a V8.

Well my last quote from Aviva was competitive out of 3 quotes. My existing insurer almost matched it (within a couple of quid) so I stayed with them for simplicity. But I don't think the individual experience of either of us tells us much to be honest; rather a narrow statistical sample...

I looked at reviews of different insurers not so long ago. The truth seems that the majority of reviews were by people feeling ripped off for price in the case of pretty much every insurer, and wanted to make a noise, or people giving personal experiences of settlements which varied widely from glowing to furious, and weren't much use except for a few small insurers which looked a bit dodgy, or in marginal cases of claim legitimacy (e.g. does your house insurance cover you if a plane falls in it? or part of a plane?).

Through my broker.

Every insurer tries to up the premium to take advantage of the lazier/busier/naiver customers. Normally they cave in pretty fast if you ask for a better deal though, that was a bit surprising. How did you ask?

[philo124] 25/11/2016 10:27

Just dumped Aviva motor policy after they tried on a 10% increase in premium with a £700 excess. They wouldn't budge so renewed with someone else at lower cost than last year and £450 Excess. As for Home Insurance, forget it if you live in Gloucestershire,
Aviva assume that all resident's homes flood.
Will be dumping their shares.

[edmundshaw] 23/11/2016 14:37

Perhaps just increase the excesses? Yes, it is just another tax, but may encourage a small number to "self-insure" (ie just take the risk) a bit more.

[alphorn] 23/11/2016 14:16

A small nip from the increase in insurance premium tax although it will be paid by the insured person.

[bracke] 14/11/2016 10:52

Indeed they do uppompeii.

[uppompeii] 11/11/2016 22:25

C'mon bracke...those 10p's add up my friend.

Prenvest

The lines mark support/resistance/trend/price action. I would not want to invest or trade without chart analysis. I appreciate others use other methods. Each to his own.

[prenvest] 11/11/2016 17:33

Yes, the red lines are parallel with each other and the pink lines are parallel with each other. I just don't get why they are where the are though, except that the red lines look equidistant from each other.Is it possible to use this information to make any money.

[bracke] 11/11/2016 13:55

I have no problem with posters making high, low or any calls as long as they give reasoning. No reasoning means it's just a guess or a hope.

The chart below shows the share price between support and resistance lines a decision is required. The chart is self-explanatory, I think.

Anymore jewels of wisdom buywell , although don't ask me to explain how the markets are responding today totally baffled .Glad I didn't cut and run yesterday

[buywell3] 02/11/2016 05:39

Sub 400p again

[alphorn] 18/10/2016 23:31

I note the government's reversal on the cashing in of annuities.

What will that do to Aviva?

Probably positive as it keeps cash in the business.

[uppompeii] 06/10/2016 10:04

Nice to bag that..
