30/8/2018 12:43	propertyman: In view of the general uncertainty in shares, current for the time being, the results look rather appealing. The share price hasn't moved much over the past few months and that shows the business is fairly stable. I know I am investing for income and remain fairly happy about today's statement.

30/8/2018 07:20	speedsgh: 3% increase in interim dividend offset by 3% fall in EcV means that the share price will probably at best trade sideways for the foreseeable future excepting the emergence of any unscheduled acquisition news. That is of course applying logic to the situation which in the case of the stock market is often a pointless exercise! Read Full Thread Follow Reply
26/7/2018 18:53	jonwig: Quiet lately, but we're one of IC's tips of the week. Conclusion: At 146 per cent, the group’s Solvency II ratio – of funds held over the regulatory minimum – is below that of its closest peer, Phoenix (PHNX). However, it is comfortable enough to allow the group to continue making acquisitions. Analysts at Panmure Gordon are forecasting an economic value – which includes future profit expectations from long-term policies – of 496p a share at December 2018. That followed a 3 per cent upgrade to forecasts after a strong 2017 performance. That leaves the shares trading at 0.8 times forecast economic value. Given management’s solid track record of raising the dividend – with Panmure Gordon forecasting a dividend of 20.7p a share this year, equivalent to a 5.4 per cent yield at the current share price – we think this discount is unwarranted. Buy. Last IC View: Buy, 384.5p, 4 Apr 2018 Read Full Thread Follow Reply

29/3/2018 11:05	chairman20: Look at the discount in the share price as a significant buffer in case of any substantial investment markets decline. Nothing in the stock market is ever safe but CSN is an investment that allows me to sleep easy! And I like the management style - not doing anything incautious. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
23/11/2017 14:21	speedsgh: PHNX share price is still holding steady so this fall is currently looking specific to CSN. Maybe news leaking re Countrywide Assured investigation but they did state in the interims that they did not expect the outcome of the investigation to have a material impact... "The investigation into how Countrywide Assured disclosed exit fees to customers, initially announced on 3 March 2016, is ongoing. We have provided the FCA with all information requested. Discussions are ongoing and given the narrow scope of the investigation we retain our opinion that the outcome from the investigation should not have a material impact on the company."

22/11/2017 12:29	speedsgh: CSN directors rarely buy in the open market but previous buys by the former CEO (Graham Kettleborough), though not very large, were pretty good indicators of when he thought the share price was oversold. Remains to be seen if the current CEO (John Deane) is as astute with his timing as his predecessor, if indeed he ever gets round to buying any shares!

02/9/2017 08:06	maddox: Hi Guys, Reading the runes..... The dividend yield is already generous and forecast increases are pretty mediocre, particularly so in view of the obvious cash accumulation. What is also crystal clear is that management have an alternative use for that cash - further acquisitions. This comes through as the primary business objective loud and clear. It is from acquisition, consolidation and cash extraction that we can expect to see share price progress. This strategy comes with a measure of uncertainty as to attractive targets being available, pricing and execution risk. In the meantime, we have that very attractive current yield to compensate us. So, nice yield and capital growth on offer - gets my vote. Regards, Maddox Read Full Thread Follow Reply
15/12/2016 12:38	jonwig: JoA - thanks for your response. I expect my views to be challenged - you only invest successfully if you avoid mistakes, so I'm happy to have mine pointed out. The only factually incorrect thing you say is that I support CSN management. I'll leave that to the end. I have two brokers, one advisory, and I've discussed the way things work with him, though not CSN. The admin costs for rights offers are very high, with a fixed cost element. 3% is typical, and for a small AIM rescue issue I've seen figures around 10%. (Can't cite, sorry.) Think prospectus, underwriting, admin of take-up, sale of surplus and payment back. A non-pre-emptive placing is cheapest: fund managers expect a phone call and know in advance how many shares they are willing to take. The top three own 26m shares between them, and I expect the next ten down would cover it. A private investor with 100,000 might get a call if his name was on the register. It's all sorted by lunchtime. Why that particular structure of the fundraising? As I said, they wanted to raise more than the rules permit, hence the open offer (cheaper than a rights issue). Why not raise more debt? I think that's simple - an insurance company has minimum capital requirements and the higher the gearing, the greater the requirement as a proportion of equity. hence the riskier the shares, and the CSN boss said he wanted CSN to be the safest company in a portfolio. I'm sure the company actuary and the FD looked very closely at the balance of funding here. Why not less debt, and more shares? Well, as I said, the share price was pretty droopy at the time of the issue. They were probably warned against it. So we can agree to differ on the structure of the issue. What I don't accept is that I'm a supporter of management. I'm simply being realistic about the way the City works and the underlying rules. For what it's worth, I think city fees are far too high, but I don't think that will change in my lifetime. The government are desperate to retain City jobs (think of all the tax) and won't dream of acting, though Corbyn might! If every IPO and fundraising were made to the whole public or shareholder base, charges would be higher, and these frictional costs would be reflected in higher charges for all of us.
