I think you mean resistance at 250p & buying signal if / when share price goes through 266p !!!

[ialwayswinatmonopoly] 02/9/2014 15:08

Phew! - The price has finally smashed through the resistance of 250p. A strong buying signal will be triggered if / when the share price goes past 266p (DB formation, with a target price of 300p)

Thanks for your explicit detail,much appreciated

The large transaction of shares mid-day is not a 'sell' - The software on ADVFN shows as a sell as it is identified and categorised automatically, based on the transaction price compared to the bid/offer prices at the time. If the transaction price is closer to the 'buy' then it will be recorded as a 'buy' and visa versa. This is normally accurate but with a few exceptions. One of those exceptions is when the market is very active and the price is bouncing around and the other is when the size of the transaction is extraordinarily large and the order has to be filled over a period of time or manually negotiated.

The main reason, in my opinion for the recent hike is just the natural and healthy behaviour of the stock market. Trading was very thin when it made it's way from 268p to 236p and there aren't a lot of trades for the market makers to 'match' as trading pressures push the price back up. You will see on occasions today that the share price 'gapped' i.e., jumped up without any trades been transacted - this happens in shares where there is large price fluctuations over a short space of time (i.e., what has happened with BEZ over the last couple of weeks).

From what I can see, the share price behaviour of BEZ is behaving very characteristically and if this continues it should hit circa 268p within the next few weeks. If the price 'bangs it's head' at this price then it will be bound by a rectangular formation of between 268p & 236p. A break through either of these prices will determine the next, long term direction of the share.

Bought in after results looks like the share price is now moving after stagnating for so long

[edmundshaw] 22/7/2014 13:54

Nice shift in investment returns, long awaited, and long may it continue!

[tthh] 22/7/2014 10:29

Break above 280p??????????????????????

[edmundshaw] 22/7/2014 10:29

Quite good I'd say fenners

[fenners66] 22/7/2014 10:16

Bought some a few weeks ago for potential yield.
Nice to see increased profit and confidence in increased dividends, I note the capital position remains under review, what chance another special dividend with the finals?

[deadly] 22/7/2014 09:53

Strong results, recent weakness has been overdone.

"Beazley performed well in the first half of the year, in a market that has become steadily more challenging. As we celebrate the tenth anniversary of our US operations, it is encouraging that we are currently seeing many of our best growth opportunities from our US based underwriters. At the same time we continue to attract talented underwriters to join Beazley on both sides of the Atlantic."

Q1 IMS statement to be released on the 8th May

[edmundshaw] 11/3/2014 15:37

Well, we now have that 22p dividend for free! Or, put another way, add back the dividend to today's price of 267p and you get a new high of 289p.

:-)

Better still. A standard divi of 9.3p in 2014 and yet another special of say 8p would indicate an share price of 288p on a 6% yield basis - 5% would push the share price to 346p. Worth adding to - though I'm already very overweight - at the present share price of 258p. U/W capacity is expanding, but inflation is falling. Holders would not have got a bumper 16p special if the outlook was dicey.

[edmundshaw] 26/2/2014 15:27

The "standard" divi for Beazley is 8.8p. So already nearly 4% without the specials, which are so frequent they are hardly special!

[hooley] 26/2/2014 13:21

Another special this year, but half last year's 16p payout - say 8p. With the standard payment of 7p, then 15p total. Based on a share price of 260p, the prospective yield of 5.8% would pay its way.
