I've added Pets at Home to the small charts.

Hope that helps somebody.

Someone is missing a trick here IMO.

12.4p dividend going Xd tomorrow.

The brokers are forecasting £3 per share soon.

That dividend is around 4.6% of the current share price
A great return.

Let us see what happens tomorrow.
A 12p gap first thing then up we go ??????

What a bargain.

What will move the shares nicely, is if/when, it gets in the FTSE100.
I was under the mistaken(?) impression that the quarterly reviews took place on the Wednesday after the first Friday of the month.

That, to me means tomorrow, Friday 12th. But, damn and blast, I read it has already been done, and St James Palace and Barratt Devs are in, Tate & Lyle and AMEC are out.

It's auto inclusion if the company is 90th highest cap, or lower, auto expulsion if its 111th or higher.

Direct Line Group was about 95th.

Direct Line sees flood damage claims of £70-90mln from households
By Julie Crust


Direct Line Insurance (LON:DLG) expects claims totalling about £70 to £90 million from householders as a result of storm damage and severe flooding in the UK, although it said the actual cost will only be known once flood waters have receded.
The preliminary estimate, up to February 22, compares to an expectation in an average year of £80mln in claims from major weather events.

Yeah, for similar reasons I've taken out a s/b @ 269.86 initially with a 7 or 13 month view, depending on mkt conditions. With the special dividend thrown into the mix, the annualized yield was too tempting to ignore for a company seemingly doing very well.

[gorse] 26/2/2014 10:19

Decided to top up in the face of consistent special dividends. So many spin-offs from large companies seem to do well in their first five years ...

[eaaxs06] 26/2/2014 08:10

Looked good figures to me.

Onwards and upwards, let's hope if we can crash through that old high, and on into the 270's

Flood advice for our car insurance customers
Recent floods have left many car owners quite literally and financially submerged. However, if you are a Direct Line car insurance customer you could be covered for some flood-related damage that has occurred...


How much will it cost?

[barry276] 03/1/2014 23:34

Short term yes. long term no.the cost will be passed on in increased premiums 4 me you and anybody else who buys insurance.

regarding the overhang that has moved from the back burner to centre stage. The clock is ticking on that one. personally, I would not welcome a bid at these levels. I am going to keep on collecting the divs. DLG has already rewarded shareholders with 243 million pounds in divs since IPO a mere 14 months ago. Anyway, happy investing and Happy New Year all.

[eaaxs06] 30/12/2013 09:53

Oh, I agree...... very tasty.

[billybankrupt] 30/12/2013 09:39

Agree - pie in the skyBut wouldn't it be nice ,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..........

[eaaxs06] 30/12/2013 09:24

It's that overhang of shares, which have to be sold, that has depressed the market in the past, Barry, so what makes it so different this time, now the share price has risen to higher levels?

This 'guarantee' of A Share Tip of the Year smacks of pie in the sky, and merely wishful thinking on your part

[barry276] 28/12/2013 13:10

DLG could receive a bid in 2014.RBS owns 28.5% has 2 sell by end 2014.this stake could be targeted by a predator.

From Trustnet


Equity analyst Nik Stanojevic (pictured) says income investors should look to Direct Line, which could deliver a stonking headline yield next year from dividend growth of 40 per cent in the pipeline.

"Direct Line could yield 8.9 per cent in 2015 as it cuts costs and can afford to pay out more of its earnings due to its strong and improving capital position," he said.

Shares in the insurer have appreciated 27.77 per cent since flotation in October 2012, according to data from FE Analytics.
