I hold these stock.

DYOH (do your own homework.)

To-day there was a slight drop in price, but number of analysts are giving favourable reports.

What triggered my interest was better than expected results and if I am right looking at charts it shows an inverted head and shoulders. Hopefully a good sign. Also the current rate of Share price growth is about 90% pa over the last 5weeks. This is unlikely to continue indefinitely but SP could hit 850p over next few weeks.

To-day at close, there were some large buys of about 5million shares. 40million approx.

Another trigger for me was the following which should increase earnings.

LONDON (ShareCast) - If the message gets home that Aviva will not bid for Prudential, the stock should rebound strongly, especially if Aviva can sustain its current impressive performance. There is still work to be done but, at 794.5p, the shares are a strong buy says the Independent.

Hmmmm.

Interim Results

Aviva has grown operating earnings per share by 4% and increased the dividend by 10%.

The 10% increase in the interim dividend is our fourth consecutive half-year of double digit dividend growth and further proof of Aviva's progress.

Aviva remains financially strong with a capital surplus of £11 billion. In the first half of 2018, we started a £600 million share buy-back and paid off €500 million of expensive debt.

Someone convince me not to buy here @454.50p

Did you buy? It's cheaper now.

Buy when the fear is at it's maximum (which doesn't seem to be yet)

Bought at 441.5 a few minutes ago for wife's SIPP.

Feel like I'm catching a falling knife but can't resist

I'm still dithering!

It’s just an observation chaps but in the current climate I would joint me on the fence for a while until the markets culm down...if you get my drift 🙂

Well. Just bought some more at 437.5. That's me done. Sit back and collect the dividends for the next 10 years.

It's not very pretty right now. The speed of the fall seems to be accelerating

I'm waiting until near the end of the month--------maybe

I've taken a S/B @440.76.

Little foot note.

Anyone else get 10 bags of sand when they left anywhere?

Indicators on the floor!

May be a hefty bounce when new CEO appointed (up to 4 months)? Market doesn't seem to like or understand why the whizz kid Mark Wilson decided to go.
As others have said above, the possible market downturn has come at a bad time for Aviva.

Yes - 8 days ago (post 381) it was at a double bottom - now 30 odd points lower.
