Short Chris? Im 6ft 9 3/4 inch tall.

18st 9lbs........a fine specimen.

Dont take things so serious, just pulling your leg.

Think you know that anyway.

Stop to entry for risk free trade.

Back in long (SB) @ 441.06 tight stop.

Bounced off 200DMA and is attempting to close gap to 450p initial target 460p tight stop.

Gap closed, MACD looks overbought but more scope to upside in RSI. Stop to entry.

Should have a chart in the header here.

Carson contact Ian please and ask if he could do .

Not my call, originator of thread. Anyway what's it got to do with you?

Needs more volume and providing indices don't tank, if it can break 460p and hold above it, next major resistance 500p

Martin Gilbert, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Asset Management commented:

"We have delivered robust performance this year in a more challenging environment, underpinned by our long-term track record and also our transformational acquisition of SWIP, which has diversified the Group. The first half of the year was particularly demanding, as investor sentiment turned sharply against emerging market economies. Recently, however, we have seen those concerns abate and outflows from our Asian and emerging market funds have moderated.

"The integration of SWIP is proceeding on schedule and is already beginning to deliver cost synergies ahead of expectations. The acquisition has also made us a more balanced and diverse business and more easily able to ride out the ebb and flow of investor sentiment in particular asset classes and geographies.

"Markets are likely to remain volatile given the uncertain economic and interest rate environment but our new financial year has started well with our broadened product range attracting interest from a range of clients. We will continue to apply our philosophy of long-term fundamental investing to meet the objectives of our clients."

Joined Carson aka Blue Boy, Lord Carson etc etc here this morning.......

Aberdeen results indicate ‘small positives’ for next year
Aberdeen Asset Management (ADN) has reported good cash generation and dividend growth with a number of ‘small positives’ expected over the coming year.

Peel Hunt analyst Stuart Duncan retained a ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 490p on the shares after final results beat forecasts with profits hitting £490.3 million. The shares rallied 1.7% to 457.5p yesterday on the news.

‘While [the] results were largely as expected, operating cash generation remains strong, underpinning expectations of good dividend growth in the coming years,’ he said. ‘A December 2015 estimate enterprise value/ net operating profit after tax multiple of 11.7x remains attractive, with a yield of over 4%.’

Duncan noted the integration of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership was ‘progressing well and that cost synergies are ahead of expectations’.

‘The new year is reported to have started well, with client interest in the product range,’ he said.
