W,Wise move. I now have 8,000 shares owing me 334p,with Divi,s reinvested.DLG should go to £4 plus in its own time.I wish you all the best with RWS.GC

[woodhawk] 02/5/2018 10:31

I took the opportunity to top up too, Gary. Great divi.

Overreaction from the investors merely to the headline GWP amount, which is caused by the end of the Nationwide and Sainsburys insurance partnerships. Own brands GWPs are growing strongly and are up 2% on Q1 2017. Algo traders at it again.

Purchased more at 360.33 bargain.

The Sky news take on the announcement:-

[woodhawk] 02/5/2018 08:15

This market is getting ridiculous.

[billy5] 02/5/2018 08:12

This drop is stupid. If I didn't have all my investments done and dusted I would be steaming in here!

[mattcookson] 02/5/2018 07:49

CWA1?? Good news is you will find out in 10 mins.

[cwa1] 02/5/2018 07:43

OK, I'll guess at a fall too FWIW.

[longwell] 02/5/2018 07:29

Gonna drop due to snow payouts.
Look for buying opportunities.

Trading Update.

[kulvinder] 26/4/2018 16:47

Did the same a few days ago, increased my holding only to find it dropping, was hoping for £4 around the update.

I suspect the fall in DLG is more a reflection of the Hastings results this morning which said:

'Although Hastings reported a 12pc boost in revenues for the three months to March, investors reacted to the claim increase and its shares plunged 8pc in early trade. They later recovered ground to trade down around 4.7pc at 266p.'

Shame, as I only doubled up on DLG yesterday ready for next week :-(

Gary
You aren't born owning a car.
Some people have to buy one to start.
e.g 16 & 17 year olds. Then they need insurance.

[kulvinder] 26/4/2018 11:48

What I meant was does anyone know the reason for the fall back, as the last company results seem to suggest the business is going to grow further and profits to thus increase.

[garycook] 26/4/2018 11:30

eeza,People still have to Insure their old car,whether they upgrade or not.So your above comment is irrelevent !

[eeza] 26/4/2018 11:20

Car sales have plunged.
Affects insurance.

[deadly] 26/4/2018 10:45

Why should the TU be bad?

[kulvinder] 26/4/2018 10:32

Have people started to be spooked because the trading update has been announced for May 2nd?

[basem1] 23/4/2018 10:11

Nice move this morning. £4 by end of May ??

[germalene] 20/4/2018 12:00

Hey, anyone know why DLG is not showing up in some feeds? For example; on Yahoo Finance and iPhone Stocks app

[sundial1] 19/4/2018 19:50
