Substitute relentless with reckless

Potentially 10.3% yield at this level, but I still can't get the urge to average down.

Played like a fiddle. Relentlessly.

What a great company this could be. Imagine what someone like Amanda Blanc could do with it. Incredible ineptitude from the board.

Do either of the two men responsible for this calamitous state of affairs
Bird (Albatross) and Flint (Ostrich) actually believe or read what they are saying.

This share will make no progress until both have gone .

There is value here but no progress will be made until they have been handed their cards.

Expect another cut in the dividend but just how much is open to question.

Shareholders are suffering while the inept twosome continue to reward themselves for their errant stupidity

Best of luck everyone

Edit - And already regretting it!!

Just dipped my to in here at 140 and change. Let us see positive share price performance here now.

Mr. Bird = the bird flown away

[spud] 27/3/2024 16:34

When (not if) Bird goes, it's got to be worth 50p on the share price. Mind you, this is the Board who has endorsed buybacks from 400p, so I'm not holding my breath.

Obviously still got the support of the Board otherwise he would be gone - However, the bar must be set limbo low at ABDN.

FWIW :- RBC cuts abrdn price target to 135 (145) pence - 'underperform'

If he was any good he would be ahead of schedule by 18 months. He is not. There is no sign of completion in his own stated timeline. I rest my case, he needs to move aside.

[gaygay3] 25/3/2024 17:16

Just seen a video of Stephen bird on Bloomberg saying when he took the job on the board said it would take 5years to turn this around so he must have about 18months left he thought he could turn it around quicker hope he does but got my doubts

I read in today's paper that Richard Wilson, CEO of Interactive INvestor, has written to Mr Hunt suggesting the malaise of the FTSE-350 is down to the 0.5% stanp duty that must be paid on the purchase of stocks. Such doesn't apply to the shares purchased on the US market and many others, whilst charging, do so at a lower rate than London.

I didn't see any mention from him about witholding tax on US purchased share dividends.

I suppose the extra £5k suggested for investment in the 'British' ISA could be exempt from stamp duty - that would be an encouragement.

When I invest though the 0.5% hardly features in my decision.

The management, fund managers have pillaged this once great company. Stand Life was once an honourable, decently run mutual company, admired by all. Now its a company run by it s managers,fund managers to make as much money for themselves.Shareholders dont count. Why not? Cos the management, greedy fund managers will just move on to other similar companies. When this was a mutual, it had class. Today it s a shambles. It.ll be subsumed soon enough, and the current bod, managers with all their free shares will ride off into the sunset with millions. Bldy awful company.

[pander45] 24/3/2024 22:21

I'm still working out the maths on this dire share price. I think it's unfathomable.

[jubberjim] 24/3/2024 08:41

Can t work out the maths on post 2950

Price is 529 wish it was 629

Still early days wishful thinking?

[pj84] 22/3/2024 23:42

Spud completely agree, imagine it being kept and deployed now.
