It's not trying very hard! Day after day, and week after week of underperformance in the share price

BUT still trying to find support at current price

Trump's tariffs look likely to kick in mid December, so they might go lower. Nonetheless, a good entry price.

That's it could not resist any longer and bought, yield 7.20% paid every 13 weeks.

[moneysage] 03/12/2019 14:14

ONJohn - more reason to buy an INTERNATIONAL bank?

[moneysage] 03/12/2019 14:13

monty - 7.15% right now - looking tempting.

545 is less than 7% below current price (560) - seems like a good cushion and reason to start bagging some of these?

Moody's cuts outlook on UK banking system to negative

[montyhedge] 03/12/2019 09:47

One thing though boys, 7.08% yield paid every 13 weeks, I'm tempted, lol.

[montyhedge] 03/12/2019 09:27

545p next level.

Looks as if reality is starting to bite - manufacturing down globally. China might be able to hold things together by spending, but, unless other countries open their purses, we're heading into the big downturn, which has been delayed for far too long.

Time for a clear out and pruning of the weakest.

Great result for HK - unless you're Xi.

Poses a bit of a problem for him, something has to give...

"The International Monetary Fund's chief warned that trade tensions and resulting uncertainties could shave off 0.8% of global gross domestic product by next year. The global economy is in a "synchronized slowdown", Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF, said at the end of a roundtable discussion with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and the heads of five other international organizations in Beijing. Ninety per cent of the world's GDP is slowing compared with last year. In contrast, 75% of the world's GDP was increasing just two years ago, before the start of the US-China trade war, Georgieva said. While a variety of factors have contributed to the slowdown, key among them are the trade tensions and resulting uncertainties, she said. The IMF expects China's economy to grow 6.1% this year and slip below the 6% mark next year. The world's second-largest economy slowed to 6% growth in the third quarter of the year - its slowest pace in almost three decades - under pressure from rising debt and the trade war with the US."

There's a very real risk that Xi will go for broke and totally annex Hong Kong, blaming a breakdown in law and order and risk of life to the community.

Then there's the festering problem (to Xi) of Taiwan: he's been doing his very best to isolate it in diplomatic terms and with the chance that a strongly nationalistic President and VP could soon be elected, he'll either big up on disruption on the island or manufacture an excuse to annex that, too. Big risk with Taiwan having US support, but Xi's image is at stake here, and he's all about image and securing the China Sea.

To weather the storm, lending in China would increase until the storm fizzled out.

Doomsday scenario? It quite likely is, but I'm still staying out.

PRU may be the better longer term bet from that list,
however their share price can be battered on adverse sentiment.
Longer term should do very nicely, if you can live with the volatility.

[dendria] 15/11/2019 11:24

Ones to watch: HSBA, STAN, PRU. Any more?

[montyhedge] 14/11/2019 17:41

Well done, but should have waited you could have bought 50p cheaper if troops move in HK.

[woodhawk] 14/11/2019 11:35

Back in just now at 100p cheaper than I sold my last lot, just over 3 months ago.

Still unwanted, but looking oversold. Bought some more yesterday. The failure of previous CEOs to deliver on assurances is manifest, but they've gone, so one would hope the pessimism would go too. PS I was being literal (about HK streets), not metaphorical.

[gaffer73] 13/11/2019 18:24

Back up tomorrow

Not sure there’s much blood on the street just yet tt but as always don’t try to catch a falling knife!!

I don’t think there’s any way things in HK won’t get worse monty and it could happen very shortly. Something else that halfwit Porschie can blame on Brexit!! 😉
