Good news for the P&L Account, bad news for Stockmarket sentiment

Could the prospects of interest rates decreases potentially now coming later in the year than first suggested, be negatively impacting financial stocks today?

[smurfy2001] 11/4/2024 15:35

Always does terrible after XD.

[digitaria] 11/4/2024 13:12

Topped up on the xd dip. Brings AV to about 4% of portfolio.

[cyberian] 11/4/2024 12:32

Citi will be mopping-up a few stragglers I guess at attractive prices today and maybe tomorrow which should not hurt sentiment too unduly.

[tuftymatt] 11/4/2024 10:39

Yeah this and two others I hold went ex divi today and all are giving great long term top up prices.

Sure if we knew what was going to happen we would have sold and got back in today without locking in the divi but we didn't so we move on and wait for the next run towards 500

Good luck all 👍🏻

Villarich I was asking what was your comment getting at.

[netcurtains] 11/4/2024 10:00

I bought the ex-div too early…. Should have waited until lunch at least or tomorrow

[engelbert1969] 11/4/2024 09:41

As a long term investor I love a disproportionate drop xd.

[villarich] 11/4/2024 09:30

Are you asking me what the intention was of a comment you wrote?

I think you’re looking for something that isn’t there."

Was that comment about the alternative way to collect the dividend ?

[yump] 11/4/2024 08:55

Perhaps the scale of the drop will also be driven by whatever profit people are sitting on from the run up from 380p area. If they trade some rather than just being income investors. Or if the run up had already started to run out.

460p also just happens to be on the previous resistance before it broke out.

[villarich] 11/4/2024 08:53

I think you're looking for something that isn't there. If this wasn't an XD day and the share price was down 0.6% then no one would be batting an eye lid

[fenners66] 11/4/2024 08:47

So xd for 22.3p today and down by 25.4p so far.

Following on from the discussion on M&G where as uppompeii has said it fell by much more than the dividend
it looks like another way to skin the dividend cat - selling and rebuying...

[netcurtains] 11/4/2024 08:42

ex-div hoping...

I have just bought a few....
probably a mistake...
but you have to be in it to win it!!!

[uppompeii] 11/4/2024 07:59

I managed to time the dip quite well yesterday so am currently about 3p up and now looking forward to a lower than XD fall today!What are the chances? M&G has been clobbered post divi, and it's rarely worked for me before.

[1robbob] 10/4/2024 11:18

Citi seem to buy circa 1.2m shares a day regardless of the market circumstances

Do take account that L&G do not go xd until 25th April
So there could be some divi switching between AV xd and LGEN cumd, especially
as L&G are still at a 1.25%+ yield premium

[cyberian] 10/4/2024 08:52

rob...I guess after the expected fall tomorrow when we go XD, Citi will still have plenty of ammunition to continue to buy-back more shares as your recent post suggest. Hopefully this will provide some support to the share price going forward along with the completion of the AIG acquisition which appears to be well received by the market. Further growth prospects in ones key markets with cross selling opportunities is a big positive.

[skinny] 09/4/2024 07:50

Aviva plc ("Aviva") today announces that, following receipt of all necessary approvals, it has completed the acquisition of AIG Life Limited ("AIG Life UK") from Corebridge Financial, Inc, a quoted subsidiary of American International Group, Inc ("AIG"), for consideration of £453m.

The acquisition of AIG Life UK was first announced on 25 September 2023.

Bed and Isa. Just before x div

[pete160] 08/4/2024 20:49

Hot money coming in for the ex divi on the 11th?

[whatsup32] 08/4/2024 18:20

20 million shares traded today. Seems like Av buying back around 1.2m per day

Daily average pre results was around 4 million so who is buying the rest , we seem to be having very high turnovers

[1robbob] 08/4/2024 09:02

You need to save in the US because they don’t believe in looking after the poor or even in the basic civilised behaviour of the state looking after peoples’ basic needs as humans on the planet.

They're certainly not as soft a touch as the UK Welfare state that's for sure but you clearly haven't heard of Medicare/MedicAid for example, or the fact that illegals are given spending money, free accommodation etc etc. Or the fact California is pushing a minimum wage of $20 for menial jobs(Result - job losses obviously)

But there is certainly more of a graft ethic in US than there is here.
