Toppers, what's your plan? Hold it for next divi, or take the rise and sell around the divi?

[topbun] 29/4/2024 10:32:55

On the rise! This has got momentum now.
Baldrick1, get in or miss out. 240 by June.

[topbun] 26/4/2024 06:46:28

We’re looking at a major rebound today, 240 and beyond

[2wild] 25/4/2024 17:13:19

That's 3 x closing record highs on the bounce. Despite USA down again. Added at 199p. Yielding nearly 10%. Probably will be with another annual dividend Increased this year, like every year since listing.

[baldrick1] 25/4/2024 16:47:15

Total collapse from the support level.. could revisit 190p-194p.

cjac39 - good to hear from you and that all is ok. Ifound your comments on AV Health of interest and inspiring. AV is still my favorite in the sector particularly with AB's somewhat improved management team which seems to be firing on all cylinders!

I still dip in from time to time but its not for me discussions of investing for the divi around ex d and share price comments which seem to become endless. I thought results overall were solid and the share price has been disappointing albeit along with others post exdivi. cap gen is v decent from WP; average from AM and good from anns so I dont doubt any cap gen targets they throw out. liquidity was maybe an issue with debt repmts but the prufund swap is a way out of this + they have decent headroom on S2. Given their low nb volumes its not obvious why they are running at > 200% S2 margin.

So overall divi looks solid but the share price prospects, and I guess the analysts views, will hinge mainly on sorting out MNG AM which apparently they are experts at!

[rongetsrich] 24/4/2024 15:44:55

I’m out today, Paul. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.
If it isn’t to plan then MNG are cheap enough to get in early with that same money. Always have a plan and a backup plan!

[sjl301] 24/4/2024 15:12:02

Hopefully the weakness holds until the divi gets paid.

[skinny] 24/4/2024 12:25:34

Very low (comparatively) volume (so far) today.

[jsg123] 24/4/2024 12:22:01

Poor performance the last month really, 15% down and ftse all time high. Strange

[lab305] 24/4/2024 12:14:56

Poor performance today considering the Ftse100. They should start buybacks in earnest.

[baldrick1] 23/4/2024 16:11:54

202p support level.

[rongetsrich] 23/4/2024 09:07:08

I think cjac can and does disappear for periods with travel. I don't think he lives and breathes on here when he's appreciating his wealth in a foreign land!

[pete160] 23/4/2024 08:21:25

I too miss cjac's well reasoned insights. Hopefully they've been quieter because they're secretly working on a bid for MNG ? :-)

[ianood] 23/4/2024 07:37:50

Has anybody seen anything of cjac? Must say that I am missing his valuable input and understanding of the insurance market.

[action] 22/4/2024 11:51:06

Will go to 208p to 210p level.

[baldrick1] 22/4/2024 11:27:36

205p resistance.

[jubberjim] 20/4/2024 08:11:57

Circumstances dictate that until dividends start appearing in my account in May/thru June my hands are tied.

Think this fall exacerbated by the decline in Prudential share price(another missed opportunity)? but BATS and Phnx couldn't be ignored at these levels.

Patience required in this topsy turvy market,

Good Luck

[rongetsrich] 19/4/2024 15:46:12

Missing the bottom? Ha, I bet your bag has never been the first one on the carousel! Mine hasn't either, but as long as it's close that's good enough, I reckon.The problem now is the price has zip all to do with fundamentals for the time being... it will present opportunities, that's for sure.

[skinny] 19/4/2024 15:11:51

I'm still looking to add here, but am in no hurry until macro events become clearer / more positive.

If that means missing the bottom - so be it.

[rongetsrich] 19/4/2024 14:45:12

Anyone taking advantage today? I may indulge further next week, but nothing is clear on the MNG or Middle East fronts, so breathing space and time to see what develops. It could be over, with both sides having the last day, or it could be we're about to see the share price really tank.No sign of my confused pal, but he was caught out selling when he was buying then he sold the week before. It's about confidence now, there is money to be made.

[baldrick1] 19/4/2024 10:43:13

Back to 180p shorts list.. cut in interest rates being pushed back.

[helen troy] 18/4/2024 13:14:30

I missed the trading opportunity and am resigned to leaving my holding here for a year. Glad it looks like the divi could be maintained. I see the share price recovering slowly slowly.
