And it should cost more

It wasn't just Aviva related preference shares that were affected - they pulled the WHOLE market down

The whole board should resign

[muffster] 30/4/2018 08:15

He should resign. Disgrace.Acted diahonarably, got caught, now made to pay up. No goodwill shown.His whole I'll thought out plan to steal wealth from a minority group has cost aviva 14million plus.

"Following clear legal advice"

Take some responsibility - be a moral leader OR alternatively can we appoint advisors as board members as clearly the current lot are incapable of the role

Good to see Aviva doing the decent thing - buying their re-admission to the human race. Hopefully the market will respond positively.

Indeed! It's been a regular source of disappointment share wise for me for a number of years. Although doing ok since going XD. 10 day MA broke through the 50 on wednesday's rise. It's now looking likely to break through the 200 today. If today's volume is below average I will wit my position today and look to get back in closer to £5 again.

Open letter rightly points the finger at Aviva but doesn't imo praise ELLA - who were the first to come to the market with a common sense honest view

Trust relevant directors here will enjoy their time gardening - should justice prevail

Yes very well thank you uppompeii. I'm still paddling.

[uppompeii] 18/4/2018 13:49

Oh, look, a black swan! Good day bracke, I trust you are well!

[bracke] 18/4/2018 11:27

So negative uppompeii. It doesn't become you.

[uppompeii] 18/4/2018 10:19

Thanks Villarich....though Aviva never fails to disappoint!

Price closed above the 200 day MA which is flattening and about to turn positive, as is the 50 day MA. 10 day MA also about to cross above the 50 day MA.All could indicate a sustained rise given no macro shocks in the market.

[villarich] 12/4/2018 16:05

Price is very close to the 200 MA which is currently a smidge over 510. If we can break above it then that will obviously be a positive thing. If it bounces of and drops I think I'll take my profit for the short term.

[cc2014] 12/4/2018 12:44

Well. This is turning into one of my better trades. Share price equivalent of 527p if you add the dividend back.

It seems on a mission. Long may it continue

[villarich] 12/4/2018 12:10

Some great share price action since this went XD.

[davebowler] 11/4/2018 14:30

The ordinary shares yield more than the prefs at the moment.

[mark1000] 10/4/2018 09:23

Guys I think you are right if its not in the current Arts & Mems it needs to be voted on a lot of Companies do have Arts and Mems allowing buy backs normally up to a defined percentage say 5% a year with you both prefer divis to buy backs how ever buy backs do boost EPS which taking the long view should boost the share price.

[a0148009] 10/4/2018 08:46

Think buyback should be after voted at AGM on 10th May.

[lord gnome] 10/4/2018 07:27

You and me both, Dr B. I've never yet seen a well executed buy back that has actually benefited shareholders or boosted the market price. The market has always been happy to take a company's money.

[dr biotech] 10/4/2018 07:25

Doesn’t it have to be rubber stamped by the shareholders first? I haven’t looked into this specifically but I know it’s been a requirement with other stocks I’ve held. Never really been a fan of buybacks though, I’d rather a special dividend instead.

[mark1000] 10/4/2018 00:57

Had expected the share buy back to start kicking in now we are ex div - anyone with any thoughts on this - it would make sense for them to spread it over a longish time period with regular purchases of shares in sensible volumes.

[villarich] 09/4/2018 09:09

Good article from a div / income perspective. Aviva is a cash cow, and has been since Wilson took the helm

Try this. It's a PI blog. Looks like he's after a high yield portfolio.

Same here and another one Morph7 posted for the same website elsewhere(DLG).
