thanks salver - do you have a link you could post?

26th nov is the current estimated reporting date so i would imagine they would be very happy if this coincided with that but its so material they would have to report it the minute they signed an SPA.

does anyone know anything about change of control in France and how long that takes? for a UK insurance company its minimum 3-6months particularly a larger acqn with private equity involved

The headline reads Aviva France- La Macif,Generali et Cvc en embuscade face a Allianz et Athora.- which roughly translates as La Macif,Generaliand Cvc face off in an ambush againstAllianz and Athora

News in the French press about the imminent takeover of Aviva France ( Les Echos) it seems a few other combatants have entered the fray - should be an announcement in a week or two- couldn’t understand the article fully with my dodgy O level French!

agreed spud, this is an exemplary board.

[spud] 24/10/2020 11:06

Let's keep things civil chaps. spud

[watfordhornet] 23/10/2020 23:39

Totally agree - has anyone ever met a serious investor that decides to post during day. I have not and been in these boards for 10 years

[eurofox] 23/10/2020 22:26

I have been convinced that this is a cash depository for some time. Just be sure you do not have too much out when key upside news arrives.

[cjac39] 23/10/2020 21:48

Que - what the f does that mean?

Agreed spud such an easy trade - it’s rare I think to have something so cheap but asset backed that you can be confident adding on dips that it’s basically risk free

[spud] 23/10/2020 18:48

Yes. At this level you can store your cash and withdraw with impunity. As Monty would say, it's like an ATM with interest and an occasional dividend!spud

Well done, I like the liquidity it brings

[pvi1] 23/10/2020 17:04

My best performing stock. 70k profit trading this since March

I think Hsbc is the best of the bank plays,most of the business in the far east, so less covid impact and if expected a Joe Biden election win it should boast chinese American relations and give HSBC a boast.

Well pleased with switch from Aviva to lgen working out so far
Nothing yet to tempt me backninto this sadly underperforming company
Have stsrted watching Lloyds just on back of Barclays results looks to me like it has been oversold to date will watch for now

[linton5] 23/10/2020 15:14

A take out of this company is the only solution there’s no doubt about it haha good Covid weekend all. Run free

[leedslad001] 23/10/2020 15:07

Very poor performance my worst holding

[1robbob] 23/10/2020 14:38

I would not be at all surprised if the Q3 update is earlier than the indicated 26th Nov
Perhaps after he L&G Capital Market Event on 12th November?

[linton5] 23/10/2020 14:37

I do find it fascinating how poor this stock performs considering news releases last few years,were will it all end

[hhhold2] 23/10/2020 14:23

I loved all this uncertainty from a selfish POV, I got another top up below 278 & if they drop this again I think 1 more top up will do me,

I've been waiting for this opportunity & although I didn't get to buy in the 210p range I am in long term now thx MM's you have done it again. lol.

we even get a discount to what AB payed for hers,

ok you can let this rip now,

putting the chart on full timeline makes this share look pretty good entry & a PE of 5 is a bonus.

guess for the divi

16p final
8p interim
6p special

Our sink is probably overflowing

[cjac39] 23/10/2020 12:53

i think a bit like wba has suggested that this year all financials will be filling their reserves and provisions and kitchen sinking everything they can to enjoy the benefits over the coming years....

What the BARC results show is that if there is financial strength, shareholders can look past the short-term dividend drought

[spud] 23/10/2020 08:53

From BARCThe Board recognises the importance of capital returns to shareholders and will provide an update on its policy and dividends at FY20 results.spud

[eurofox] 23/10/2020 08:34

financials benefitting from not bad results from BARC
