Conversely a fairly tight spread now. Was 120-121 earlier today. Picked up a handful at mid price for a tax free yield of about 6.8% in the ISA, maybe should have resisted looking for lower given increasing yields, Brexit, Trump, etc., etc. but couldn't hold out ;-)

[cwa1] 15/5/2018 07:30

Yes, very wide spread. Nice to see the dividend hitting the books today though :-)

[holts] 14/5/2018 12:34

Still no narrowing of spread 133 138.5 online .

Despite Avivas calming the market its clearly still way out of kilter. They want 137.2 ti buy or 132 to sell.Not seen that sort of spread since the Bank of Ireland was being restructured with forcefull bond haircuts.Clearly the market is some way from normal.

XD today, pay day 15/5.

The market makers have run riot in this. Jeez they were buying the Aviva at 105 and selling them at 1.34 on the day the panic set in. Disgusting pigs !

[holts] 23/3/2018 11:02

Yes , but I am greedy , and at least relieved by todays aviva rns

[holts] 23/3/2018 08:58

MMs taking the p this morning , topped up last night 1.369 , this morning at open wouldnt even quote for 100 , now they want sell 1.36 and buy 1.43 spread is ridiculous

[holts] 22/3/2018 17:29

Can buy at 1.369

[my retirement fund] 22/3/2018 17:17

Yes lets hope someone in a higher position does something about that otherwise the entire country and its finacial community look set to be visiting hell in a handcart.

[holts] 22/3/2018 13:37

Seems so , but still annoying to have the paper profit screwed by Aviva .

[my retirement fund] 20/3/2018 14:39

Unless I am mistaken these look about one of the safest preference shares available.

[my retirement fund] 09/11/2017 16:49

Market makers hiking the offer somewhat in time for next weeks dividend payment. I guess they know a lot of holders reinvest on auto pilot.Not me though, I shall be scoring a few grams of charlie and renting a couple of call girls for a allnighter in one of the Knightsbridge Radisons.(Not that my partner will be any the wiser)

[my retirement fund] 02/9/2017 13:51

Just been one leg up aftet anouther, init.

[cwa1] 06/10/2016 07:13

XD today, pay day 15/11.

[holts] 09/8/2016 10:24

That's one thing self trade are actually good for , income turns up on the due day , would really annoy me if they were taking that long to credit it .

[my retirement fund] 26/5/2016 12:10

iWeb still not paid out the dividend into my ISA yet !!!

[cwa1] 18/5/2016 12:09

16/5. In both my accounts FWIW.

[my retirement fund] 18/5/2016 11:23

Incidentally would you happen to have the latest dividend paydate to hand as not yet reviewed mine

[my retirement fund] 18/5/2016 11:21

Not a huge trade but seems to have caught market a little short. I note the Irish sovereign debt was upgraded again this week. 10 year gilt yield almost zero now!

[cwa1] 18/5/2016 10:43

Someone's keen judging by that 12,547 trade at 132p, well above advertised spread even although it is a late reported trade.

[my retirement fund] 06/11/2015 13:36

They seem to have prefered to sooner pile into ERO1 at 6.5% and lose 50% of their money in the process upon some fraudulent Indian outfit I guess, than an honest 6.5% income from a long boring forgotten safe as houses perpetual with government backing is well erm simply far too safe and boring for them I guess?

[deadly] 06/11/2015 13:08

Now 124p=6.55% yield.

Don't know that there is any risk with these so why don't people flock to buy?

[cwa1] 08/10/2015 07:10

Morning All

XD today, pay day 16/11 if it saves anyone hunting it down!
