Tell me about it, must be peak now surely. Pretty hot shares.
Ive still not figured out why they are valued more now then anytime since over a year ago really.
This insurer does better in a crash then normally apparently, they should rename them black swan life, not very standard

They spiked after hours also, 285

Sold the extra ones i bought some time ago for £2.78 still holding quite a few for the long term now - till they get to around £4.00 or so Still confident they will but dunno how long it will take in current climate best wishes to all for a nice Xmas and New Year.

Yea I wish I could afford to layer my sales a bit more but I just dont deal in that big a volume really


SL appears to be maintaining its strong rise today

Risking some of the money on DSG international and Pendragon --- they both at low prices - but who knows its all a gamble

They must be very risky compared to this one, though I dont know either really.

I figured why sl has broken out of its annual price range, better late then never I guess.
Its international sales rose at the same time our currency has fallen 29% or so which makes those sales even more important to the group, even more of a hedge.

Without really checking the balance sheets, thats my theory. Prudential rose a quarter this week


The shares ended as they started which means in trading they have made up their previous after hours spike, 10% growth since friday morning
