The announcement with the results will go something along the following lines imho. We will return cash to our shareholders....this year is going great...roe 25-30%

[paddyfool] 16/2/2007 20:42

well its like waking the dead here record results coming 25% plus roe let it be known I told you!

[paddyfool] 09/2/2007 16:03

These guys will post their best results ever. A combination of retaining more risk and a beniign claims environment have left them with a very high ROE. I'm in.

Market reaction to todays statement seems overdone. Prices are up 1% on average which is disappointing but not surprising given the 2006 claims situation. But does it matter so much when premiums written are up 12 % The key thing is what quality is the additional volume I suppose. I hold Amlin Novae and Brit and expect to see all three make ground this year.

Time to get out.

Barclays just announced as having added a few...

UBS (Virt-X: UBSN.VX - news) has issued a note on the UK Insurance shares, in which they have downgraded Hiscox (LSE: HSX.L - news) to neutral from buy, they have initiated coverage of Beazley appending a buy recommendation and says buy Chaucer , Kiln (LSE: KIN.L - news) , Novae and Amlin (LSE: AML.L - news) and reduce Brit Insurance .

Cracking results today.And because of fewer claims, of course.

But will premiums have to soften now?Probably.

[broadwood] 07/11/2006 07:46

Munich Re's figures beating the market by £600m.

You'd think that that would be pretty positive for Amlin when the market opens.

But as usual, looks like recent gains have priced it in.

So, the hurricane season typically ends 30 Nov but went on longer last year.

It looks as though its going to be pretty tame this time around.

Good - and bad, softer premiums next year..

What hurricane? If you mean Paul, it's never been a threat, whatever its strength, as its a west coaster that will only hit uninsured peons.

[broadwood] 24/10/2006 16:05

Catlin also upgraded today.

[broadwood] 24/10/2006 15:11

Do you?

Latest hurricane downgraded from Cat 3 to Cat 1 today - hence the rise.
Expect the chart knew that would happen.

[farnesbarnes] 24/10/2006 12:44

You don't know which way?

[broadwood] 23/10/2006 17:17

So is that up - or down?

Now where's that seaweed.

[farnesbarnes] 20/10/2006 13:50

Shoort term divergences in MACD and RSI. 270 support.

[broadwood] 20/10/2006 07:41

Could be moving higher soon - if hurricane season remains benign.

[broadwood] 12/10/2006 18:04

Fb - I wish, - back in 01 I was standing on the ledge ready to jump!

[farnesbarnes] 12/10/2006 17:16

Broadwood

I bow to your superior trading/investing method. Elder, Murphy and Nison have nothing on you.

[broadwood] 12/10/2006 10:37

ursus - because there's such an army of dedicated souls looking into the rear view mirror, they can,I concede, make a minimal impact.

I've noticed,reading back,some folks aren't even conversant with what this Company does.Relying exclusively on a historical wavy line.

Gawd - they shouldn't even have a cheque book.

But while this run continues, who cares?

[ursus] 12/10/2006 08:34

but the people who buy and sell shares do have memories, and if enough of them who bought say at 280 then watched it down are psychologically conditioned by that experience to sell when it gets back to that level, then you have a resistence level that does mean something.

that said, i'm basically with you on the fundamentals argument, broadwood, but think it unwise to ignore what a sizeable proportion of those who make the price intend to do at particular levels.

[broadwood] 11/10/2006 19:34

raf - Exactly .

Resistance/support levels- they mean absolutely nothing.

Shares don't have memories.

[rafieh] 11/10/2006 19:06

Broadwood,
Are you saying that you only rely on fundamentals and don't care at all about how the chart looks like? Maybe you don't even look at it. Just knowing the current share price and the P/E and other figures would do, and it doesn't matter at all if we are just breaking an important resistance or falling through a support level which has never been breached over the last 10 years.

[broadwood] 11/10/2006 16:27

What a naff response - no more than expected.

Fundamentals is what the Company is doing,what markets it operates in,its margins,debt levels,etc - ad infinitum - not Brokers opinions.

So your chart will protect you from 'crooked accountants' - as if!

[farnesbarnes] 11/10/2006 16:19

As a 'charter' (wtf?), it's fundamentals that I find "larfable". Brokers and analysts, so called industry experts who peddle second hand information based on the gentle massaging and manipulation of potentially crooked accountants and directors.

Your post Broadwood lacks any substance, and technical or fundamental.

Congratulations on getting aboard at 220p - lucky throw of the fundamental dart? I have my own view.
