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.

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."

Limit Buy left @ 466.0

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.

Tuesday tips round-up: Iron ore miners, Aberdeen Asset Management

Tue 02 December 2014 09:27 | A A A
No recommendation
No news or research item is a personal recommendation to deal. Hargreaves Lansdown may not share ShareCast's (powered by Digital Look) views.

Iron ore miners may be facing much the same dilemma as OPEC is, when trying to force high-cost producers out of the market. Although plummeting crude prices may force some smaller tight oil producers to stop producing for a time, the well infrastructure and technology, once developed, will remain. Indeed, creditors who take over bust shale operators and wish to maximise their cash recovery may not be dissuaded by the price falls.

Similarly, the big miners who keep shovelling iron ore out of the ground may see only limited success in forcing smaller competitors out. Even if an operation is shut, as African Minerals decided to do on Monday with one mine, the infrastructure will continue to be in place should prices revive, writes the Financial Times's Lex column.

Things seem to be looking up for Aberdeen Asset Management. The firm's decision to acquire Scottish Widows Investment Partnership (SWIP) in April seems to have been well-timed. It may help to rebalance the business towards UK equities. As well, the emerging markets in which it has 25% of its assets invested should benefit from the decline in oil prices, the company's chief executive believes. In particular, an improved economic performance may help to staunch the outflows from assets invested in those markets during the year to September.

To take note of, as regards possible risks, Aberdeen has accumulated an 8% stake in Standard Chartered, which is equivalent to a large bet that a much-feared rights issue will not materialise. Most significantly, come spring the fund manager will have a surplus of cash on its balance sheet relative to regulatory requirements. Hence, some sort of share buy-back would seem to be on the cards.

Trading on 13 times' this year's profits the stock is "worth a buy" for the long-term prospects, says The Times's Tempus.

hmmmmmmm a share Buy Back .......I like those not sh-ty special premiums where the MMs mark it down just like a normal divi, cheating so and sos.
