Monty. I think the Interactive Investor element is probably worth nearer to what they overpaid for it (£1.5b) but yes, providing ABDN can actually demonstrate to the Market that it can get a grip on costs and nail the outflows (which they have made a good start at) then we could very well be cursing the fact we didn't accumulate more at this price range.spud |
I think very good value, ii must be worth 2 billion, stake in Phoniex whats that 550m.Market cap 2.8 billion, Abrdn look cheap to me. |
Just an observation, other companies/timescales are available. |
Of the five companies still shorting this, Black Rock is the biggest at just over 2%. Very surprised that they haven’t started exiting. |
agree good spot great cartoon obviously if we are wrong and i have bought more dog at wrong time, i have told the wife to shoot me |
Excellent call, jonny! Looking good here. |
It was 92% chance of BOE for me 100% now. Income seekers will go for high yielders Abdn and of course Phoenix looks great value, ii the jewel in the crown must be making good money. |
Well it is taking its own sweet time. |
all it says is ftse up, including permadogs like abdn |
Let's not digress TOO far from the subject of ABDN please all.
Thanks |
![](https://images.advfn.com/static/default-user.png) if i can digress onto matters i am professionally acquainted with, to a relatively new regular poster on the bb, it strikes me that there is a collective negative groupthink going on about uk equities in general. which is not surprising given how poorly ftse has performed compared to us indices.
but trump is obviously totally psychopathically narcissistic. perhaps not quite civil war in 10 years in us, but certainly huge civil unrest. especially when he issues an edict allowing a president to serve more than 2 terms. it will come, believe it. i think he is a russian double agent. why else would he often refer to putin as "vladimir"? why else would he try to stage a revolution, which is how i saw the post 2020 election result?
i see trump 2.0 = peak us. money will need to flow to safety out of us, so yes gold, but some will come to any sane market like uk, even if it is run by incompetents. the £ is on a pathway to hell, but so are the $ & euro. i see loads of value all over ftse 350. there is always value in a trading company even if the currency it trades in is bust.
trump has primed the us for a fall, the trigger will be a black swan event that we all know is coming but everyone ignores. possible big one hitting san fran and exposing all the inherent weaknesses inside us, just after he has sent troops into panama and starting vietnam 2.0 |
I don't follow bonds or gilts all I concentrate on are the dividends and the return by virtue of same.
If dividends are maintained at present levels this is a no trainer but do pay attention to its fellow hoodlum phnx as even better yields on offer there just have to wait for investors to rediscover the bottle to enter the fray
Fear is driving this market at present time |
sigmund freud, we're going to see 9000 FTSE 100 this year. FTSE 100 still half the value of S&P 500 and our darling Reeves is doing a fine job lighting the growth fire pit. |
Apologies to all Had missed out 'Investors ' but corrected now. So worry no more. |
Even I'm Confused ! |
Nerves shot to pieces? Are you sure you should be dabbling in the stockmarket Jim? |
ok thanks v m SF and McC
I think maybe 4/02 is finish would explain the Hang Seng barely registering any sell off in line with all the other indices.
Thanks again
Will await states but inclined at such times to do nothing due to lack of liquidity and investors nerves shot to pieces. Good luck |
Last Wednesday was Chinese New Year. Ports and shipping usually affected for 2 weeks. |
the big asia holiday was chinese new year. everyone should be back now, it has mostly finished |
I have a question if any one can help please
I Think the lunar holiday in far east is imminent ?
Does anyone have the exact dates for this year ?
My belief is that it does impact the market thus try to avoid placing any trades during this period
Thanks |
Yup. Im expecting a near 40 point drop tomorrow. The Market has been desperate to pull back for some time now. spud |
Tomorrow market down, talk of tariffs, best to stick to uk domestic stocks which are unaffected Adbrn, Phoenix etc. |
