"You draw far too much attention to yourself , Mr Underhill"

[underhill2] 10/8/2017 12:12

Chinese Investor - I'm sure you will be able to cope !

[chinese investor] 10/8/2017 12:10

I can cope with the decreasing share price but....
....your posts are making me suicidal !

[underhill2] 10/8/2017 12:04

Chinese Investor - 420p soon !Hope you are not suffering too much

[chinese investor] 10/8/2017 10:04

Probably !

[underhill2] 10/8/2017 10:04

Chinese Investor - 430p soon !

[chinese investor] 10/8/2017 08:27

Good Start !

I think the share price will go higher after August as SL have not paid a heavy price for Aberdeen. I believe SL have got a good deal out of this.

The divi will continue to be good so I will continue to hold.

[chinese investor] 09/8/2017 17:07

I am worried about Trump and North Korea - hopefully it will be resolved shortly.

Still holding for the dividend.

[underhill2] 09/8/2017 17:03

If it was 330p tomorrow Chinese Investor will collapse !

[pudsey bear] 09/8/2017 16:17

I expected the price to drop after the merger, not before it. But there you go.
PS
I would sooner read 440 tomorrow than 330 tomorrow! ;)

Hear hear!

Chinese Investor - Could not agree more than with the previous poster. Share prices go up and down. Sometimes for no obvious reason. You need to take a medium/ Long term view of your investment and not comment daily whether a target price has or has not been met. For example saying 440p soon means nothing unless you are trading shares on a daily basis.

[pierre oreilly] 09/8/2017 13:31

Chin, why not try to not get too excited when the price goes up, and not too worried when it goes down? It'll go up and down anyhow.

[chinese investor] 09/8/2017 13:23

This is starting to be slightly worrying.

Standard Life had its "add" rating reaffirmed by Numis Securities at £4.65.

[chinese investor] 08/8/2017 17:29

First half operating profit before tax rose 6% to £362m with underlying cash generation up 1% to £256m.

The interim dividend rose 8.2% to 7p per share.

The shares fell 1.6% following the announcement.

First Half Results

Assets Under Administration (AUA) finished the first half up 1% at £361.9bn, as market movements offset a £3.7bn net outflow.

The net outflow represents increased withdrawals from the giant GARS fund of £5.6bn, where a poor investment result in 2016 continued to weigh on performance. This was partially offset by a 32% increase in net inflows elsewhere in the Institutional and Wholesale business of £1.2bn.

The Workplace and Retail business saw net inflows of £4.2bn, with record inflows into the Wrap and Elevate adviser platforms, where AUA rose 11% to £49.2bn.

Fee based revenue from AUA rose 5% in the quarter, to £836m, and now accounts for 94.5% of total income. Expenses rose 2.7% to £581m, with the cost to income ratio remaining stable at 62%. Standard life is planning to publically list its Indian joint venture, selling up to 5.43 percentage points of its 35% stake.

[pudsey bear] 08/8/2017 14:06

Indeed so.
Price on way back to £4.50 as I type: Bet some folk have made a quick profit today.

[pal44] 08/8/2017 13:20

we need to top 450p first .

[pudsey bear] 08/8/2017 13:19

Also, on a personal note, I sure Keith Skeoch will want to beat the previous top price of £5.05 so he can have bragging rights over the previous C.E.

[chinese investor] 08/8/2017 12:19

I now see 500p as no problem !
