19/5/2017 19:57	Positive statement. Company firing on all cylinders. Profit numbers for Asia and the States very encouraging. Surprised at the muted response in the share price but Prudential has had a good run of late so a pause at this stage is to be expected.	churchill2	Read Full Thread Reply
17/5/2017 15:42	If all fails, the divi is actually paid on Friday. So we shall have banked something before the weekend. :)	vacendak	Read Full Thread Reply
17/5/2017 15:12	Tomorrow is the Annual General Meeting. Hopefully shareholders will be updated on current trading year to date. A lot wlll depend on whether the rapid rate of growth in Asia has been maintained. Other factors include improvement in the situation experienced by Jackson in the States last year. Also in the UK some progress may have been made regarding the large provision made to cover the cost of the review and redress of annuity sales practices. There is a fair amount of optimism built into the current share price so we need a positive statement. Fingers crossed.	churchill2	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2017 09:33	Now that's a jump! Could PRU be on its way at last for that fabled £20 a share predicted years ago? I have yet to look at the report freshly posted today, but I guess it reads well.	vacendak	Read Full Thread Reply

09/3/2017 19:38	Based on the Aviva results I am expecting good results. We shall see early next week. Perhaps Mr Parker will get his wallet out again tomorrow.	churchill2	Read Full Thread Reply
06/3/2017 08:50	The M&G funds performance had been pretty dismal over the past few years, so they could only improve... and they have. :) They have escaped the "dog award" from the FT this year: Https://www.ft.com/content/0eac4920-e941-11e6-893c-082c54a7f539 ‘Spot the Dog’ report names worst-performing funds "However, M&G has escaped this edition of Tilney’s report with three of its large funds — M&G Recovery, M&G Global Basics and M&G Global Dividend — improving their performance considerably since July." PRU remains a good investment though, and yes, there could be a special dividend. The sale of PCA Life Insurance Co. Ltd had already been responsible for a nice jump back in November and there could be some money left to distribute indeed.	vacendak	Read Full Thread Reply
04/3/2017 09:33	Figures due Tuesday week the 14th. I should imagine they will make good reading. Funds under management with both Eastsping and MG reflecting the strength in Stock Markets around the world. Also security backing for our liabilities and solvency should be signficantly improved and the possibility of a further special dividend. No doubt there will be a fly in the ointment possibly Jackson in the States but the share price seems to be anticipating further progress.	churchill2	Read Full Thread Reply
03/3/2017 15:36	How I love Pru, 2nd Friday I've gambled & filled my wallet, mind you, I track all day, though, as an 88year old lay about, nothing to do. I used the winnings of ARM & bless them. Have a nice day.	l.parker	Read Full Thread Reply

18/11/2016 12:14	I also hold. Prospects for growth look decent. Yield is ok. Certainly worse places to be. Emerging market exposure still not really in favour but its time will come again.	its the oxman	Read Full Thread Reply
16/11/2016 10:02	@StPalm Thanks for dropping by! Weird how some threads are lively and others very quiet. Especially PRU, a lot of small investors are holding, it is a big whale in the FTSE, it trades a lot, etc. Yet no talk. I hold PRU by default, when younger and less knowledgeable I suffered a bout of herd behaviour during the dotcom era and switched a bit of my savings on Egg.com into Egg shares at IPO. To say that Egg was no Facebook/Google is an understatement. The few hundreds in Egg became fewer hundreds. Prudential had floated Egg, Egg sold itself to Citigroup, which in turn offloaded it back to Prudential. I chose the PRU shares instead of the cash (big losses) and became a PRU holder by default. Then I counted the investment as pure loss and forgot about it, shedding a sarcastic tear at the odd couple of PRU shares bought from the divi being reinvested. Ten years or so later, when updating addresses after moving to a new house, I actually looked at my holdings and realised that PRU had gone from 400p to 1,400p. While I agree that it has not done much the past few years beyond staying in the 1,200-1,500p bracket, my effective yield is slightly higher than the ADY of 2.67% currently stated. I added a bit more at around 1,400p last year. The Chinese expansion is indeed subject to risk. Communists have their own interpretation of the rule of law, but the strategy remains sound: The emerging middle class will need financial products. They are doing well in South East Asia as a whole. In fact reading about the company in the news shows that it is in effect more and more of an Asian company listed in the UK. I know one should not be sentimental about stocks, but PRU remains a boring and safe part of my portfolio. That being said, I was considering taking my profits a few weeks ago because of the sleepiness issue... Glad I did not!	vacendak	Read Full Thread Reply
14/11/2016 15:17	I've just sold into the rally, who knows where they gonna go. Divi isn't good enough for me to hang on, holding l&g where divi is better, also aviva where I think the share price more likely to rise. Pru I think is being held back by uncertainty in China. G.L though vacendak, cld see you were lonely on here so thought I'd add my 50p worth inflation! Used to b 5p!!	stpalm	Read Full Thread Reply
10/11/2016 09:50	Sale of business in Korea: http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail/PRU/13030807.html This must have been a good deal. PRU is jumping by more than 6% at the moment.	vacendak	Read Full Thread Reply
25/8/2016 08:57	Ex-date today: 12.93 per share, up 0.6p from the same interim last year. As usual, steady as she goes. Now if that share price could go back up a bit for good instead of hovering at £13-£14, that would be slightly more exciting.	vacendak	Read Full Thread Reply
17/8/2016 10:52	dk37 Hello there, feeling lonely around here. Nobody seems to talk about PRU, which is odd as it seems to be traded every few seconds at times. About the GS guidelines, I am with you there; not much trust in them but it costs nothing to hope. The bad news are mostly from M&G, their funds are performing poorly. "M&G and Aberdeen howlers top the ‘Spot the Dog’ funds" said the FT in a July 29th article. I guess this is what is holding down PRU. That and the bane of low interest rates for life insurance and pension management.	vacendak	Read Full Thread Reply

14/7/2016 10:36	Getting battered like most financials at the moment. Still holding, hoping still to sell at the £20 a share that was expected not so long ago. Holding PRU is meant to be safe and boring after all.	vacendak	Read Full Thread Reply

15/4/2016 11:30	Read Panmure's note on Prudential (PRU), out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research-tree.com/companies/uk/life_insurance/prudential_plc … “Following the 2015 year end results we are cutting our operating earnings forecasts for 2016/17 by 8% and 10% respectively. Although our new EPS forecasts are lower than 2015, it is worth highlighting the latter benefitted from c£400m of one-off UK ‘management actions’. Excluding this positive impact we are forecasting further continued progress in 2016 over 2015. The 10p/share special dividend announced in February was in line with our view that Pru is overcapitalised and has excess capital to return to shareholders. Although the share price has been under pressure this year reflecting lower investment markets and others have cut their target prices we maintain…̶1;	thomasthetank1	Read Full Thread Reply
