Porsche....Were you a Telford Properties Holder ?..

Thing that always terrified me on aviva was their Italian gov debt exposure Under Sol Ii Italian gov debt amusingly gets a zero risk rating which means no capital needs to be held against it So the Italian annuity trade is super profitable - until of course the Italians follow their Argentinian cousins and default Looking less likely now given that the Germans will have to pick up the tab - buts it's still a huge tail risk

I own Aviva and Lgen....Aviva have been doing a bit better than Lgen at the moment but happy to hold both and accumulate at these prices.

[williamcooper104] 16/10/2020 14:18

Best thing about Aviva are the prefs

'Little or no dividend'!!

Dividend yield on these is very healthy thank you very much over 9%!!

Where else can you get a return like these.

They will return to previous highs, once Brexit and COVID are laid to rest or just lightly bubbling!!

Couldn't agree more

Own about 60k of these, down about 10k, surprised how hard they have been hit, capital destructive cxxp like Aviva with little or no dividend and hopless management who can never move the needle it’s no surprise they are a ftse dog but these should be doing better.

Could well be another if the proposed circuit break lockdown goes ahead.

A date for your diaries...This Monday 19th October Happy Anniversary of Black Monday.... Place your bets...

Sure buy here's the rest of a BOD as to whether they can navigate that and make the most of a potentially poor situation.

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 15/10/2020 09:28

WB SORRY NO

[williamcooper104] 14/10/2020 17:55

Exactly - which is why you are not going to see huge amounts of commercial to resi conventions in prime markets overnight It'll come eventually when current use investment values get whacked - which happens when grey market sub-let rents feed into ERVs (the "market" rents red book valuations use)

CWO ..were you a Telford holder ?

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 13/10/2020 23:27

Yes but they aren't going to are they.

[candid investor] 13/10/2020 21:31

Cut the advertising conkers , what was your general opinion about LGEN

[candid investor] 13/10/2020 21:29

Net curtains..the income comparisons look favourable, unless of course they get sick or lose their job

[thewheeliedealer] 13/10/2020 20:33

Hi all,

My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast a few days ago and part of our discussion includes LGEN and why Insurers look more appealing than the Banks. We also chatted about loads of other Stocks and some Ideas for research, and the outlook for Markets and as usual a fair bit of educational stuff with regards to Investing.

Anyway, if you use Apple, Audioboom, Overcast or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want TPI Podcast 33) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful,

Cheers, WD

Nothing stopping you selling a £100 asset for £30- £50 - you will get buyers

Lord Gnome: re compensation for slave trade...Cant say the trade actually did Liverpool a lot of good in the long run. I would not be surprised to find that the average wage packet of an African American is higher than average pay packet in Liverpool. Wikipedia says: $58,985.00

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 13/10/2020 17:48

If the offices are empty and there's no lease then there's nothing stopping them flipping these, otherwise the rents are being subsidised either way in most instances.

We are lumbered with a generation of political pygmies (apologies to pygmies - other persons of reduced stature are available). None of our current crop has the political nouse or intellectual ability of Tony Benn, Barbara Castle, Margaret Thatcher or Norman Tebbit. Boris wanted to be the Brexit PM and ended up being dealt a rotten hand with Covid. Labour must be so glad they lost the election.
Why the same two parties? I will tell you why. Name the leader of the LibDems? If you can, well done, not many can. Oh, and apparently, the Greens have just committed themselves to paying compensation for Britain's role in the slave trade. What utter woke drivel. That's our problem, there is no alternative.

[williamcooper104] 13/10/2020 15:33

Understand that feeling - but having read the Left Out book on Corbyn - he would have been worse - as hard as that is to imagine :)
