how can this shyte go down there was only buying today no selling - mm's again all this needs to be regulated we're being ripped off again by these sharks/.

[eric gardener] 15/12/2010 21:57

where is it?

[skyship] 12/12/2010 18:40

There are 4 AVIVA prefs – all cumulative but irredeemable. For some reason, presumably associated with institutional buying or selling at any point in time, the 4 prefs offer anomalous pricing opportunities. I've taken advantage in the past; and will continue to do so.

Here is the current pricing. No guessing where the anomaly is in this case:

# AV.A 8.75% - 113-116.5p – Yld on the offer share price = 7.51%
# AV.B 8.375% - 107.5-110.0p – Yld on the offer share price = 7.61%
# GACA 8.875% - 106.5-110.5p – Yld on the offer share price = 8.03%
# GACB 7.875% - 101.5-106.0p – Yld on the offer share price = 7.43%

If you want a boring share join me in WKP! That one's deadly dull!

[eric gardener] 28/11/2010 21:06

yes skyship you're right, very sensible. I own these and I intend to own them for years to come but they're boring.

[skyship] 28/11/2010 15:38

Eric - you may not be this way again; but I'm minded to respond nevertheless:

For me boring is a welcome epithet - especially when it yields 8%!

If the share price stultifies but the 8%pa keeps on rolling in, then for me GACA represents a valuable asset for a corner of my SIPP. Being retired, managing my SIPP for the major part of our income and drawing down 7%pa - then to paraphrase McCawber:

# Income 8% - expenditure 7% = Happiness
# Income 6% - expenditure 7% = Misery

I get my thrills and occasional spills elsewhere in the Markets; but am happy to hold stocks such as GACA & BBYB. Strangely even these slow moving prefs do provide occasional trading opportunities, when the share price goes anomalous for no reason other than a brain-dead institution clearing the decks. I had two such trades this year - one in AV.B; the other in BBYB.

[skyship] 23/11/2010 15:45

Good pair of earplugs and a spare bed?

[pyemckay] 23/11/2010 15:37

good start to the new year with AV.A and GACA paying early in the new year... baby due on the 2nd Jan. wonder where i'll spend it? lol..

[skyship] 23/11/2010 14:38

Topped up with a few @ 111.49p today. Yld = 7.96% versus 7.59% for AV.A - yet perversely someone buying those in size today!

[marben100] 10/11/2010 17:26

Eric, they're 8.875% prefs, so that means 8.875p per share per annum. Hence the half yearly payout is 4.4375p per share, with the next payment made on 1st Jan 2011.

Cheers,

Mark

[skyship] 10/11/2010 17:18

14 trades today. Other than one very small sale they totalled 160k bt @ mainly 112p. Yield @ 112p = 7.9%.
