Bottom chart 'fast stochastic'

:-)

You are right HC, it was just a homegrown descriptor of the pattern. Maybe a 'falling wedge pattern' would be more technical.

Rollercoaster Blackpool Pleasure Beach, home run looks familiar :O)

No offense intended s1. I actually thought you had found a new charting pattern and was keen to learn more! Lets hope it's not a 'heart monitor reading'!

just added 6920 still buy which i said i would bargains come to those
that see the future . buy buy buy 10% div on the way

12 month low today - 101.

Yield (if maintained) 8.73%

.

Depends on exposure to Eurozone. Aviva has big exposure to Italy & it's sp suffered as a result. RSA I'm not sure where it's main risks are.

.

Less than a quid.

Hmmm - new 12 month low today 99.60.

Lost interest in the Insurance/Assurance industry when the Banks went belly-up so out of touch with sector now, but is the whole sector going through a trough at the moment? and if so RSA's decline might just be because it is in an unloved sector.. just a thought.

You are probably right Stan it is an unloved sector, maybe the unknown european liabilities also have a bearing on the sector performance.

Quarter 3 2011: Continued strong top line momentum and financial position

Net written premiums of 6.1bn up by 11% with all regions delivering good growth
Rating action and recent deals and acquisitions continue to drive the top line forward
IGD surplus of 1.3bn; coverage remains strong at 2.0 times
Net asset value per share including IAS 19 of 101p compared with 106p at 30 June 20111
Continue to expect to deliver a combined operating ratio (COR) of better than 95% in 2011

Overview

Premium momentum remains strong, with net written premiums for the nine months to 30 September 2011 of 6,132m, an increase of 11% (9% at constant exchange) over the same period in 2010.

International net written premiums of 2,992m up 13% (9% at constant exchange)2
UK net written premiums of 2,318m up 7%2
Emerging Markets net written premiums of 800m up 17% (17% at constant exchange)2
Indian associate net written premiums of 106m up 26% (29% at constant exchange)

Of the group's total portfolio 89% is invested in high quality bonds and cash, just 1% is in eurozone peripheral eurozone sovereign debt.

I hope those bonds remain 'high quality' as I bought some @ <100p before the close.

mnamreh-----sorry for the delay, the figures related to an article by Phil Oakley in the Moneyweek mag. 'The value of RSA's low risk investment portfolio remained steady at 14.4bn.' The 89% and 1% in my earlier post relate to the 14.4bn, in addition he adds that RSA had 1.3bn in surplus capital---twice its regulatory requirement. Good Luck.
