Bottom chart 'fast stochastic'

If the divi is held, should be OK for a good rise......IMO
update.. only 1p away from your price now Dave.

If it goes to 75p I'll have some myself!

goal, I think 75p will be a target buy price for a lot of people. If it gets to that it may not be there long.

Yes, I think so too.

A penny thats all it is & you can count me in.

Friday is the day sub 75 is here i think,anybody else out buying if they go that way,,topping up as they say..

IM IN (AGAIN) AT 74P SOLD OUT A WHILE BACK AT A PROFIT SO READY FOR ANOTHER SPENDING SPREE

You got a good price there babykitkat.

Its not going may way yet,,74 you did drop lucky kk.

Hello again chaps. Been a while. I see my post no. 93 has come to pass on RSA.
This general malaise pre-election jitters may well be an excellent buying opportunity for RSA at 71-73p. If Labour returned it will rise with market. Quick kill. Anyhow, nice to see thread still active. Must go now. Be lucky and good hunting.
Nam.

Welcome back namreh3, in my opinion it would be better if Conservatives get elected for a market rise.

ref 185
sorry i must have come accross wrong what i meant was i wanted in again @74p not that i got in at 74p but having said all that i should have got in at 75p but like a fool didnt!!

It would have been a good price babykc, but is 76.5p too high a price to pay now?

Results on Thursday (1st qtr) should give a good indication as to how things are developing. Differing views around as usual, some take the stance that good progress has been made whilst others consider that profit will be down a little owing to storm claims in Scandinavia (but that is what insurance is about) we must look at the underlying trend.
Hopefully, perhaps we may be given some indication as to how near we are to a satisfactory solution to the American asbestos problem.

Very good 1st qtr results. Looks like patience may be rewarded.
Good luck holders.

Faith restored! Where to next?

With profits TRIPLED in the 1st qtr and a 24% increase in written premiums I think RSA must now look more interesting to the INVESTOR area, the divi now looks certain to be maintained and possibly increased.
The share price should begin to make some headway over the weeks to the half way results, although I think it likely that profit taking by the traders that have been going in lately for the 'quick buck' could hold it back a little.

Morning rsa holders in at just over 73 before results thank heavans for mobile phones,,result !!

Like most of the others today....struggling!

Tipped strongly in Tempus today. I'm hopeful the broker estimates will start to move bullishly over coming weeks and we might see a long overdue rally.
