Increased divi and still plenty of upside to pre CV19 share price What is not to like here. There is a constant flow of retiring public sector workers and emergency service workers retiring, and STJ associate Advisors are given pretty much exclusive access to 999 service pre- retirement courses. A lot of senior and middle management positions invest on the back this on retirement so there is a constant flow of lump sum investors for the foreseeable.

Back above 800 tomorrow? Dow still gaining. Divi increased. Nice to be a holder. 1100 by June?

[dexdringle] 16/3/2020 16:29

Opened at £7.80, then fell to £6.20 and is closing at around £7.50. What a roller coaster!

890p printed.

Cheers dexdringle, have reduced position here at past highs , good timing, but reinvested else where and been hit just as hard by the past days carnage. Still happy to hold here , despite an6 time lag , so long as fum keep growing.

[dexdringle] 27/2/2020 15:48

Damn. Pulled the trigger on my buy yesterday too soon. Should have waited.....

[its the oxman] 27/2/2020 08:39

Fum now a whopping 117bn, at first glance results look decent enough, div up as well.

[quepassa] 27/2/2020 05:17

let's see what today's full year results bring

[dexdringle] 26/2/2020 19:33

...back in at £10.75. Will be back out at £11.50 (hopefully).

[quepassa] 14/2/2020 16:06

Innocent typo by me and I have corrected my prior message to reference Money Marketing in both instances.

[dexdringle] 14/2/2020 15:57

Money Week I like. Money Marketing less so. Looking for a re-entry here at £10.50 (ish) so needs a pretty big dip for me to be back in. Now that I've sold they'll probably go to £13.....

[quepassa] 14/2/2020 15:15

I have always found Money Marketing to be well written, well researched and well regarded. Interestng to hear a different point of view - although Money Marketing do nonetheless say they have had actual sight of the specific documents which they detail in their article. ALL IMO. DYOR. QP

"QuePassa 13 Feb '20 - 15:07 - 226 of 226 SJP declined to comment" ….probably because the article is an incoherent load of total b*llocks and is so ridiculous that it didn't even warrant a response. I say that as someone who sold all of their SJP shares last week and no longer has a vested interest.

[quepassa] 13/2/2020 15:07

" SJP declined to comment" read article in Money Marketing below: hXXps://www.moneymarketing.co.uk/analysis/under-the-bonnet-of-an-sjp-acquisition/ ALL IMO. DYOR. QP

Telling a story. Sending a message. 5 year share price performance.Comparison. Round figures. St. Jimmy's 900p to 1200p. + 33% AFH Wealth 150p to 420p + 180%

[growthpotential] 31/1/2020 18:19

AFH is good but no harm in holding STJ too. People need financial advice and STJ deliver

[quepassa] 28/1/2020 15:14

Re last post. Yesterday via RNS. Highly regarded growth specialist fund manager, Slater Investments increased their already sizeable stake of 10.65% in AFH Wealth management by another 1.5% to a massive 12.17%. Wake up and smell the coffee. ALL IMO. DYOR. QP

Stellar results yesterday from the new kids on the block, AFH Wealth Management (ticker AFHP). For sector followers, the AFHP CEO and Chairman statements make fascinating reading. Their six year track record since joining AIM in terms of revenue growth, reliable shareholder dividend increases and enormous surges in FUM is truly astonishing. AFHP point the way perhaps for the future of mass affluent wealth management in the UK with their low-cost fee model and increasing product digitisation, whilst still honoring the need for a personal approach. Some brokers like Liberum still see c 40% near-term UPSIDE to the current AFHP share price. hXXps://www.afhwm.co.uk/ hXXps://www.afhwm.co.uk/investor-relations/ ALL IMO. DYOR. QP

Credit Suisse issue broker note today and DOWNGRADE to UNDERPERFORM and REDUCE Target Price (from 940p) to 900p

[dexdringle] 08/1/2020 08:52

Blimey, that's a bit sporty. I'll be out as soon as they go above £12 again (assuming they do)…..

[quepassa] 07/1/2020 08:31

Today. JPM Caz issue broker note and REITERATE OVERWEIGHT recommendation with INCREASE/UPGRADE in PRICE TARGET (from 1179p) to 1260p

[dexdringle] 29/11/2019 12:08

yes, that's bound to have some sort of effect. Mind you, I can't remember the last time a broker called something right. I have shares in Condor Gold (don't ask). Last year when they were 44p a broker (NUMIS) issued a ‘buy’ note with a price target £1.30. I was holding from 60p and sitting on a 25% loss at that point so I thought 'great'. Condor Gold are now 19p a share…… Re SJP I think we are more likely to see £10 again here than £12. But I think we will see £11 again in the meantime. I also expect a big announcement in early 2020 about a re-positioning of the business, a change to the charging structure (and to the contracts with the franchise advisers) and a free kitten with every policy sold. Okay, maybe not the kitten part.

goldman sachs broker note today. the likely reason for the fall after a great run?

[dexdringle] 28/11/2019 09:05

Don't worry - normally when I call something it does the opposite ! The law of averages says I'll get the odd one right. Not sure where it will go from here. I have a feeling that down again might be more likely than up (ignoring a Brexit bounce effect if the Tories get a majority)
