Its allready gone higher then I thought it would.
Its really down to the individual to decide whether to sell or not, I figure theres plenty of time to buy again later before march results and I would think the market will fall again in general

However long term trends for the ftse show it is undervalued, taking a 16 year average has the market far above where it is now. The shorter term trend is of course downwards.

Anything specific to the insurance sector Im really not sure. I guess the recent results really have given sl a good reputation even though they showed a decline, compared to other companies they have the cash and a good hedge in operation

The negative from this would be its a more volatile share. Sharp rises can make falls more likely from what Ive seen.

Maybe someone is buying up the shares and we wont know till later, originally I thought SL might be taken over after floating

I am sure everyone may know this but I thought I would just post it incase as I have spoken to them today - dividend due on 28 November (0.0407per share)

Apologies if this has been mentioned in the thread but I have not looked through all of it - what was the price per share when the free ones were allocated in 2006?
Many thanks

I think it was 230p (not 100% certain).

I remember it being that price too.

I think they are already at a peak but insurers gained in america due to capital requirement changes? So who knows, good luck


Their ex div date is mid march I think so Im estimating a fall before then but maybe all their troubles are behind them. If the 2006 price was correct then I guess we have to remember market as a whole is priced much lower then that peak


Time for another boring (big) chart
