New cruise ship looks just right for the market.
Right size, right quality.
Not everyone wishes to cruise on a huge floating city.

Feeling more optimistic of the business plan here.
Prepared to wait and hold.

Sharebuddy, do us all a favour and try not to crash in the next 12 months.Your no claims bonus is a rising share price

Just took out Saga car insurance (their standard cover) and it was 30% cheaper than the renewal quote from my current insurer and much wider cover. If my case is not exceptional then we could see a big upturn in the insurance revenues which, together with the new cruiseships and holiday emphasis, plus the new savings plan etc should lead to a growth in profits in the medium term

Current FTSE ranking 365. Would not take much to get back in the FTSE 350.

There are some strange people around on here, not just those that pop up occasionally either.

I'm still curious about what you mean by saying you are a 'true Brit'.

Also I think we all have a certain price above or below which we will or won't buy - what is that all about ?

ADVFN and its social and antisocial aspects would make a good project for someone at Uni. to study, particularly as people are much less inhibited when they're anonymous.

Anonymous + money. Doesn't bode well does it ?

Feel more inclined to agree with Peel Hunt’s analysis than buywell’s very limited view, especially when Saga will have the capital value of their 2 brand new cruise ships on their books shortly and debt will be reducing significantly

buywell makes it a point to NEVER invest on anything that has a NEGATIVE tangible value per share

common sense really

[glavey] 25/9/2019 02:32

Has that anything to do with this thread?

[diku] 24/9/2019 21:19

Saga should capitalise on some juicy holiday promos...

[rathlindri] 24/9/2019 15:39

Could Saga benefit from Thomas Cook woes?

[rsivapalan] 24/9/2019 09:23

If there is a clear incentive for opting for saga insurance products, I.e. 3 year fixed premiums or competitively priced annual quotes I don’t think the brand would prevent take up of their services simply for not wanting to be associated to the brand. The key for saga is giving those in that age group a reason to obtain a comparative quote and to come directly which they appear to have hadn’t some progress with recently

I normally associate a recommedation by the Fool site as a kiss of death.

Below, for once they have posted my thoughts, possibly because they read my mind and/or my posts, lol.

They hit the nail about worrying about the 50+ people as not being pigeonholed as in the past as they are more pooter savvy and that has been a fact for a while and this is why the Saga members are getting older. Therefore imo a sell-off o the co would cover some of the loses re those that bought at above one quid and there are many of them.

Has no one wondered why the price of the old boat was not declared? Is it a state secret?

TBH, I don't trust the BoD's unless they dig their hands into their pockets and buy shares work at least 100k at 50p-ish that will show me that they were being open and very honest. Otherwise, I'd like Elliott to push for a split

The new CEO, they need to give in their notice unless Saga is picking one that is out of a job atm.

IMO, Saga was over optimistic re furture and it will be easy for them to blame Brexit and the previous CEO when this one goes, so be careful before you top up!!!!

Unless of course Saga were using their airline. Collapse of Monarch wasn't helpful. I dont think it'll make a big difference either way.

[justiceforthemany] 23/9/2019 11:12

Thomas Cook collapse should help Saga as long as management and the new CEO do their job!

A great opportunity to pick up extra business, particularly as a lot of Thomas Cook's customers would have been aged >50 and will now be looking for another 'trusted' and 'old' brand.

[cautious7] 23/9/2019 11:10

Eliott needs to get their finger out and push for a split.

[diku] 23/9/2019 08:39

The BOD here better not be complacent ...tell the shareholders the whole truth and nothing but the truth on trading...

[cautious7] 23/9/2019 07:54

IMO, Saga may benefit from TCG demise

Think the Thomas cook news will be a factor to take into account never believed the Chinese takeover will come to anything they never do ,and our banks can see more profit by letting it go to the wall.

Not sure how much competition this will remove but it's one less anyway.
