mentioned as a takeover target in the telegraph

Any clues as to why CGL are so strong today? Not complaining mind you.

[salpara111] 09/10/2010 12:26

Thanks kenny, that would seem to make sense.

I think that I will take a stake here.

From today's Telegraph:

Lloyd's of London insurer Catlin also dipped 16½ to 325p as Morgan Stanley placed 14m shares – around 3.9pc of the company – at 325p. Traders reckon the seller and buyer were long-only instiutions.

Exposure to the Hungarian incident?

[rrogans] 07/10/2010 17:48

Looking at the trades, about £250K's worth around 13:30 seemed to have done the damage, with a bit of a sell off of smaller quantities being triggered by the earlier drop in the price.

Whether that is part of a bigger picture will hopefully become apparent soon. If there was a placing, as referred to above, why would it be required? Acquisition?

[salpara111] 07/10/2010 17:39

Have been watching for a while but am unclear as to the large and sudden drop today....someone somewhere knows something....as ususal the pi will be the last to know.
Will just have to wait and see what pans out but if there is no reason then they have to be a bargain at these levels.

[eater24] 07/10/2010 13:47

why the sudden drop , hungary?

[tarvold] 04/10/2010 03:12

Ch1ck
If you look at the last set of results and take out the impact of the Chilean earthquake the numbers were very good. Holding a share like CGL you just have to hope their isn't another huge natural disaster that they are exposed to!

Article in Money Week was very possitive

[johnny1982] 23/9/2010 10:39

If you click the FINANCIALS button above you will open a page with all this sort of info about the company, including the full dividend history/dates etc

Hi all,

I hold CHU, and looking at Catlin as the yield seems remarkable. Forgive the Q but if I buy in now, do you know when the next divi payment is? I am assuming they are paid half yearly, so February time?

Thanks in advance. Good luck all

[evox] 22/9/2010 12:06

Yes, payday this Friday

[gelp] 21/9/2010 17:33

I'm in for the divi

[ch1ck] 10/9/2010 20:03

In my humble opinion Its not worth taking the chance of selling into this cut back as the shares could reverse very quickly.

I can see these above 400p in a month or so.

[nellie1973] 03/9/2010 18:12

Broker upgrade-BUY

[salpara111] 31/8/2010 09:54

Looks like a buy at least on technical basis.

[ch1ck] 31/8/2010 08:19

Dividend at these levels is worth 8.4 %. I can see some buyers comming in to pick up stock at these levels.

[ch1ck] 31/8/2010 08:12

Picked up some shares at 325p this morning. Hoping for a bounce later in the week
