The opportunity to buy a conservatively run company which has consistently increased its divi over the past couple of decades and easily has the means to continue to do so going forward at a price (244) where yield is c.9.80%, in your mind becomes a reason to sell?

Fair enough Jubbers, I guess we all have our own style of investing. I continue to hold and have been adding to my position as CSN has not rallied along with some of my other financial stocks and I can't see any obvious reason for the share price weakness. With a market cap of £380m, a positive set of results announced in March 2024 and a dividend yield of 9.5% I see no reason to sell. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if these get bought out......PHNX perhaps.

wllm :)

You panic too much Jubbers, dealing costs must hit your profits. You only bought into CSN on Friday, what changed over the weekend?
There will always be some reason one can find to sell shares, but, if you are so jittery perhaps the stockmarket is not for you.

wllm :)

I don't see the election result moving the dial here.

The factor depressing the csn SP, and most companies in the financial sector, is the risk from bonds, and the mayhem in valuations and risk/reward of swaps and bond derivatives caused by sharp rises in interest rates after a decade and a half of very negative interest rates . The bond/ interest rate chickens have to come home to roost unless central banks go into sharp reverse on interest rates, and the derivative market is so huge that it is impossible to know how far the shock waves will travel amongst banks and companies in the financial sector with large direct and derivative holdings of 'risk free' government bonds.

If the dam breaks CSN and the whole sector is way over valued and will face huge losses and share price falls. If it does not, they are way undervalued and will continue to pay huge dividends, though their SPs will probably not rise significantly until the bond risk ceases to be (or rather ceases to be perceived as) a concern.

That's how I read it, anyhow.

Its quite true that the sector, as well as CSN, is cheap (or low). I would feel a lot more comfortable if I knew why. My anxiety is that the very sudden change in the inerest rate environment may have caught companies on the hop. I am very surprised there have been so few casualties, and wonder if they are yet to come, if interest rates stay 'higher for longer'.

As to low prices being a cause to rejoice, I agree, provided one is confident that a company is indeed strong (with no unseen sand in the works) and merely dragged down with the sector. As one who donkey's years ago bought his holding in L%G at under £1, and 70% of his holding in CSN at 179, i have cause to celebrate opportunities to buy low! With trading in and out and dividends, both those holdings are now 'free', but that is not to say i would not take a hit if the wheels were to fall off. i hope you are right about Phoenix, as I recently stated a position there.

I hope for the best, but it does no harm to take a look over one's shoulder to see if there is a bloke with a cosh coming up behind. The problem with financial stocks though is that it is too dark for the ordinary Joe like me to see until it is too late!

One has to wonder if you are in the market for the right reasons if a low share price on a solid company gives you the heebie-jeebies.

pete, unless there is something very nasty in the works, that doubling up should serve you well, even if the share price stays at present levels.

If it goes over about 290 though, I would start thinking about selling your top up with a view to repurchase circca 265/270.

Trading a range has served me well with CSN, but the 265/295 range has broken down at present and it remains to be sen whether and at what figures it re-establishes. Happily, my last sale was at 307 and my subsequent repurchases at an average of about 255. Roll on the div this month.

I think the fall in the share price probably has 2 related causes, first that no one really knows yet what the impact of a sudden reversal of a decade of negative after inflation interest rates will be on its investments (the remarkable feature is how few casualties such a sea change has caused so far), and secondly the CEO has no real track record yet but looks as though he may be more 'adventurous' than his predecessor.

Any lurking anxiety that the wheels could fall off is particularly bad for the share price of any financial business, because disaster can strike suddenly and catastrophically.

I have nio reason to think that CSN is vulnerable, but nor have I any reason to fear for Legal and Gen, a much bigger outfit, with an apparently very strong balance sheet, highly profitable, and with an share price which has also languished for years as the dividend has steadily risen.

The share price weakness has been going on so long that I don't think it can be put down to a big seller in the background.

If CSN is sound, this a very extended buying opportunity. If not, its a sell at pretty much any price. I have a significant personal interest in it being the former!

If the dividend is increased in ine with the historic trend, the lsat few months have provided a great entry point.

Fingers crossed, as I am currently heavier CSN than I have ever been before. In fact my net price is up to 25p per share after trading and dividends!

CSN has done me very well over the years, taking the dividends and trading the range. I do hope that continues and the next dividend gets me back down to (nearly) net zero cost - with no allowance for inflation of course.

The disconnect between rising dividend and flat or falling share price range is a complete mystery to me.

Hello all.
I see a few handles on here that I recognise.

Was pointed here by a post from DBADVN on the general insurance and assurance thread (no EPIC title - but that's another story).

I hold LGEN and PHNX in a SIPP and ABDN in certificate form from floatation day.

I was hoping to pick up some vibes about this stock (never looked at it recently) and reading the last few posts on here I have jumped in with a £5k purchase. £2.6015 gor me 1910 shares.

Now, just recently I've bought and sold (twice) £5k of ABDN and made £250 then £240. Not a huge amount but enough to keep me happy. This over a month.

I'm guessing that the next ex-div is early April - payment in May. Please correct me if I'm wrong.


Strikes me that if the share price rises sufficiently before then I can sell at a profit and if not, add CSN to my divi payers long-term.
