aberdeen asset managemnt this company has fallen from 1.90 per share in may down to 1.34 now. despite having really good broker recommendations, as being a strong buy. Lets hear views and whether or not if you thing they have a good chance of recovery. I have quite a few shares and am wondering whether to stick with or move the money into something else.

I hold these some of these shares. The first time I have bought a share in this type of investment company. I bought because it gave me an exposure to oversea markets I don't know much about.

The degree of share price fall surprise me, but I think you will find that it will recover strongly "if" the Middle East settles down. The rate of growth will be rapid.

In future though I will give this type investment a wider berth and remain invested in ordinary company shares.

lets hope the problems in the middle east settle down quickly. So we can get back to normal unfortunatly I got involved in these share at the high price of 1.88. We seem to be in a falling market at the moment. All my shares are they same. They are falling every day even though, most of them have good broker recommendations.

With the gift of hindsight many wish we had sold out before the drop. The only thing is a few of my holdings have gone up and I would probably have sold those. Unfortunately, I went on holiday for a few days and lower my stop losses in general for a short while, not expecting what has happened.

Personally, I think the major drop is over and if the stocks you hold are in companies with seemingly sound fundamentals it is wiser to hold on and sweat it out.

I think if you have stocks with proven yield and increasing turnover, profit and EPS you should be OK.

I say that with crossed legs.

















I want a pee!

fred1new price seems to be on the way up again. made a mistake on friday and sold 15000 that I bought at 95p for 96p. Lost my bottle after the sharp fall. I am still holding a lot that I bought a 1.50 in may. Lets hope the increase continues. cheers.

fred made a mistake this message was for party gaming. Sorry. aberdeen have gone up slightly today. Lets hope they go up a little every day. I don!t mind the wait, if they are going in the right direction.

I would have thought by now that this company would have started to move upwards, but it seeem to be struggling. I will wait for a little while longer and it may start to happen. this one is looking like it may be a long term venture. All right if you can afford to hang on there.

does anyone know why aberdeen is shooting up this afternoon

since my last message on the 27th july aberdeen asset management have gone up quite a bit. thinking back they dropped to 1.42 and they are now up to 1.57. I have still got quite a way to go as I bought mine back at the beginning of may. I pay 1.88 per share for my shares.

Aberdeen AM trebles full-year profit
MoneyAM
Aberdeen Asset Management said its full-year underlying pretax profit more than trebled.

This reflects the successful integration of the Deutsche Asset Management businesses and the record new business that it won during the year.

For the year to September 30th, pretax profit before exceptional items and amortisation of intangibles rose to 79.0m from 24.8m in the same period last year. Turnover almost doubled to 302.1m from 156.1m a year ago.

Analysts had expected a full-year profit before charges and one-off items of 78.9m on revenue of 307m, according to a consensus forecast supplied by the company.

The company is recommending a final dividend of 2.4p, making a total payment for the year of 4.4p, an increase of 46.7% on the total payment for 2005.

With 'excellent' growth opportunities in all divisions and post-integration synergies, the investment management firm said it looks forward to the future with confidence.

You lucky people ....

" SHARE WHISPER: Aberdeen Asset Management (word that an undisclosed bidder is working on an offer at 240p a share) "
press today.

Had a great run from Aug last year. Support @ 220.0, trading statement 23rd March. Worth a punt (SB) Initial target 240.0 stop 219.0. In @ 230.4

270.0 next stop? Interims 03/05 Interim ex-divi 09/05.

Above 270.0 stop to 265.0

J P Morgan note:
"Aberdeen remains top pick.
With Q1 completed we have marked to market for market levels and fund performance at the end of the period. Compared with our last Update note (24/2/12) estimates are generally little changed for most of the stocks, and indeed the average PER multiple is also little changed. Since the start of the year we have materially increased estimates for Aberdeen, which remains our top pick in the sector, but have once again reduced our Man Group estimates.
The sector has modestly re-rated in the year to date, but at ~10x for 2013E is not expensively rated compared with history. Arguably the clouded picture for market returns and funds flow will constrain any further multiple expansion, requiring outperformance relative to the sector to come from self-help."

I like this stock Harry, stopped out last week on the spreads. Buy order (spreads) left @ 272.60 see what happens, difficult to pick a target all time highs, so if triggered will try and get stop to entry as soon as.

Probably being greedy, indicators are good not overbought on RSI, stop to 265.0 again it's a teaser :O)

Stop to 278.0 to lock in + 5

Stop to 278.0 to lock in + 5

Stop to 283.0 to lock in + 10
