ah! i get ya.

This is a chart of Bermuda-based (London listed) reinsurance firm Alea (ALEA) and this is a link to the discussion thread detailing its demise.

Why mention it here? Because the Chief Financial Officer and boss of its Bermuda operation has jumped ship and is joining Amlin. Could this have a kiss-of-death effect on Amlin share price?

Some snippets from yesterday:

Amlin Bermuda Ltd., a new Bermuda reinsurer established by London insurer Amlin on December 1, has named Stuart MacKellar as managing director.
Mr.MacKellar, who is currently chief financial officer of Alea Bermuda Ltd., said he will join Amlin once Bermuda immigration approval is in hand. Trained as a chartered accountant with BDO Stoy Hayward, Mr.MacKellar moved to Bermuda in 1995 as a senior auditor with KPMG Peat Marwick, Moore Stephens & Butterfield. He joined Alea in 1999 and from 2004 has been CFO and head of the Bermuda operations of Alea (Bermuda) Ltd and Alea Group Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd.

and at Alea: "...The group's Bermuda office, which has up to ten staff, is to remain open while the operations are in run off, according to the company. Stuart MacKellar, who heads the Bermuda operation, is leaving to join new Bermuda reinsurer Amlin. His departure has not been announced by Alea, and there is no word on whether his position will be filled..."

provisional katrina net loss estimate of £110m in otherwise powerful interim results today

Bill yeah you could be right AML chugging up nicely after backtest of previous resistance now support.

[303hound] 09/3/2005 18:18

I'm in @ 153.88 and think that a yield of 5.44% is too generous so expect improvement to nearer 200 in the nearish future...best wishes

Agree however there there was little growth, the dividend/cash return aspect is the key positive point, I took profits today from £1.42p feeling that a drift down is on the cards. Will buy again if it reaches around the £1.40p level.

Any thoughts?

[303hound] 08/3/2005 18:14

What's with these 100 share buys all day long ?

Regards

JW.

[303hound] 01/2/2005 18:06

aml seems suprisingly volatile with very low turnover...results in march should improve the situation

[brandon] 01/2/2005 14:25

This stock seems to have broken out of its trading range and could go higher if it holds its gains today. Anyone in agreement.

[303hound] 21/1/2005 18:22

do we have to wait for finals 9th march?...in between fluctuations may give other opportunities though I thhink they ought to be worth quite a bit more

[brandon] 21/1/2005 09:57

Anyone know what is happening with this stock? Just keeps bouncing around.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[303hound] 04/1/2005 17:52

finals 9/3/05 you might be wise to wait, shall certainly top up at 140

[eastbourne1982] 02/1/2005 18:49

Very much got my eye on these, looking to buy around £1.40p if that support holds with a 3-6 week target of £1.55p, I will just have to wait and see what develops over the next few days. Also another interesting element, look at previous rise at the start of the year for AML over the last couple of years. Current price £1.415p.

ITS TIME TO START VOTING! HTD POSTER OF THE YEAR 2004. CATEGORY: 'MOST ENTERTAINING POSTER OF 2004' THE POLL WILL BE OPEN FOR 48 HOURS. THE HIGHEST SCORING 3 WILL GO THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINAL IN DECEMBER.

[303hound] 19/11/2004 18:22

I have always found insurance calculations totally incomprehensible, however I bought a few because aml made profits which it didn't mind paying out as dividends...so many directors seem to think they are running a welfare state for themselves and employees with no concern for the poor shareholders...in facr if more british coy directors paid out more in dividends the share prices would rise which would be very helpful in reducing deficits on pension funds and incidently lift the moral of poor shareholders like me.

Paddyfool sorry not sure the point youre making

[paddyfool] 18/11/2004 21:33

You need to ask yourself how come the 2002 and 2003 estimates so conveniently off set this years hurricane losses.

[ursus] 18/11/2004 18:25

hmm - maybe the rumour that RSA is in play should be a rumour that AML is in play.

[ursus] 15/11/2004 17:30

strong synd forecasts today - improvements in 2002 and 2003 estimates to offset this yr's hurricane losses (which only reduce the 2004 profit, in all probability). i suspect many of the other ilv's will find similar reserves to release....

[303hound] 07/9/2004 18:05

how refreshing to find a company where the managers having produced very successful results remember shareholders with a decent dividend and a firm promise for the future...so rare in these days of "buybacks" which to my mind are pure theory...what is needed is a return to decent dividends much of which will then be used to buy more shares and put LSE back to real prosperity...AML directors think their shares are worth much more and so do I...many congratulations Amlin Directors
