Thanks Hyden.
It will be interesting to hear of their plans concerning the scandinavian insurance co they bought in the firesale from icelandic bank.Todays rise might indicate good news tomorrow

Decided I liked the look of this upward trend so I`m in for a few.
Must be worth it for the dividend alone.
Held them in the past for a profit,hope the same happens again.
In those days you could get over 6% on your savings with "Icesave".
This beats that hands down, plus your capital will be returned with no hassle in the event you sell.
Maybe not all of it, or maybe more of it.
Good hunting all.

It seems that forecasts are quite different depending on where and when you look. The share price is certainly on an upward trend so the market thinks it is doing well.

Found this:



But it's only a brief mention. However results are due Friday so maybe that's the reason for the rise? Yield is quite attractive and the payout date is only some 6 weeks after announcement so it's bound to attract some interest.

My info was that the forecast was for 17.28p for the FY09 making a current yield of 10.4% or 13.5% at my buying price.

Current broker forecasts are for a FY divi of around 16p but uncovered by earnings of just under that.
That doesn't really matter, of course, because eps are a poor guide to underlying performance in this case.

It's possible the share price is being helped by merger activity in the life assurance sector.

Agreed. Chesnara was a great investment for those of us who invested 6m or so ago. Nice solid company.

A rising share price is nice, particularly after locking in the yield at lower levels!

The recent price movement looks like a chart breakout, if you follow these things. And a 12 month high.

I wish the rest of my portfolio was doing as well.

Agreed. Understandably the directors simply want the party to continue.In fairness they have shown restraint when others have been rash so we are well positioned . Operationally they have subcontracted the operational side out, which seems sensible.Going forward we will see how cheap the new business is. I suspect unexpected operational challenges lie ahead(no particular intuition here just the fact that thats the way business is) but there could also be some exceptional pluses as well. On balance their reputation to date means I'll stay put .At 145p these shares do not seem overpriced and what I like is that the embedded value is calculated regularly so you kind of know where you are at all times.

I agree 100%...

but the signs are there that management are beginning to fret that
as a pure run off Chesnara earnings will peak - hence the willingness
to look at active ongoing cash flow business. I just didnt know it
was that close

Sounds like you know something! The only small doubt I have about the new book of business they have bought is that it is a live book of business rather than a closed book. This presumably will be more difficult to manage and will take them into operational and geographical areas that they have less or zero experience . It seems they got the business at a good price but the risk of the business overall has increased and that is a negative.
BTW I am a holder

Thanks for that, Hyden.

Andy Brough is always interesting (he's on Bloomberg a lot), but I think he's wrong in implying that Chesnara's dozen employees are busy administering closed book policies. In fact, just about all CSN's work is outsourced.

Anyway, it's good to have CSN get a mention!

IMS pretty predictable - Collins Stewart says BUY with 165p target.
