When is the DLG deal due to go through?? |
Good run in the ftse since Mango Mussolini started trashing the US economy. |
looking good here on run to xd |
now the Uk's largest car insurer I think .. it Was Admiral now AV.
I hold both .. seems sensible currently. |
Looking at my chart upper trend line is around 585-595p. I'd be looking to exit a position l bought during Covid around there and keep my ISA position for the growing dividend. |
Commonsense prevails: |
Unfortunately as we’ve left the EU, its no longer easy for over 50, overweight vest people to emigrate to the Costas. |
600p is coming |
Probitas announces 'best ever result' after Aviva acquisitionhttps://www.insurancetimes.co.uk/news/probitas-announces-best-ever-result-after-aviva-acquisition/1454692.article |
The Sunday Times.
"L&G sizes up impact of weight loss drug"
L&G Argues if you're fat and in you're 70's there was no implications from taking the drug. If youve been obèese for 15 to 20 years damage is already done.
Younger policy holders will benefit from taking the drug but they probably live healthier life styles.
Implication was taking weight loss drugs will extend your life and there by policy holders will receive more money. |
When IC say buy it's bad luck. |
If she wants to 'vet' the white males, that's fine by me. In fact i find it quite reassuring that she is attracted to white males. All the same, I hope she isn't putting them through their paces in company time. She is paid to run the company, not to advance her love life. It would also be in breach of good ESG practice. |
Surely in these days of automatic tea and coffee machines we don't really need the numbers of women in the workplace we did years ago? |
Aviva
Investors’ Chronicle
Aviva’s full-year adjusted operating profit, general insurance premiums and wealth division have grown, while it has also had its highest year of bulk-purchase annuity sales. The shares have risen 14% since January, and it has increased the full-year dividend 7%. Aviva’s £2.7bn acquisition of rival Direct Line will help it shift more towards motor and home insurance and away from the capital-intensive life insurance business; “we like the logic of the deal and the outlook for shareholders’ returns”.
Buy (536p). |
The CEO and board can do what they like, as long as the shareholder returns keep coming. Having seen a gain of 18% on my SIPP buy, I have halved the holding as it is looking toppy now. Plus I am well into LGEN and PHNX so too much asset allocated to insurance industry. I can see these latter two rising a bit but not this. |
I'm very disappointed in you, bodhi! I thought you were one of us. Now you've turned all woke, worrying about discrimination in the workplace. I'm with Gekko here. You can have all the "discrimination" you like so long as you deliver on the bottom line, that's what I say. We're supposed to be tough men not crybabies, don't forget. All power to her elbow. |
Agree wholeheartedly with your first para.
A shame you spoiled it with your second - leaves me wondering whether the right prospective senior execs will get the nod. |
Well done Amanda Blanc. Without doubt she is amongst the top 3 CEOs in the FTSE 100. Some insecure men called her woke for insisting on personally vetting ALL senior appointments. I've run a large successful company too and by golly I insisted on approving all such candidates.
BTW there is only one certain, defensible definition of the silly word "woke": "not agreeing with my misguided, inadequate, view of the world" |
Nice start to the day. Pity I sold yesterday:) |
Shocked to see my car insurance policy with QuoteMeHappy drop from £576 to £530. Terrible customer service (try getting hold of them for a windscreen claim) but they seem to be the cheapest. |
