Re: NEW ARTICLE: Is Aberdeen Asset prime... HardboyThanks for the response.Guess I will follow my normal philosophy and do nothing. The combined business seems like it can pay out 5% plus in dividends with growth possible from savings and cross sellingDeep

Re: NEW ARTICLE: Is Aberdeen Asset prime... Any theory would be guesswork, but it strikes me that the combined group must be worth more than the sum of its parts; and I have been surprised that since the merger was announced, the share price has not reacted very much at all. As the merger is approaching I think markets are waking up to the idea and realising both entities should be worth a bit more.

Re: NEW ARTICLE: Is Aberdeen Asset prime... HardboyTotally agree with your comments.Does beg the question - why the 15% increase in SP since the beginning of 2017? Any thoughts welcome.deep

He's basing his whole future predictions on the share price movements. The fact that it is merging in 2 months times and so will be a different business never gets a mention.

Re: Job losses from Aberdeen Asset and Stand... It will always happen with a big merger like this - one of the attractions being savings of overhead services; but for the major part I am sure there will be a large proportion which are voluntary; and the terms will be generous.Mind you, looking for a job in an independent bankrupt Scotland may not be much fun.

A less bad than last time report Looks to me as if the only upside in this report is that a few investors are believing the story coming from the Trump administration that he will "Make America Great Again".

Re: Fat cats keeping noses in the Unfortunately the five year charts don't look good for quite a number of well known shares - take a look at big oil, resources, energy, tesco et al.Human nature dictates that an owner of these shares five years ago seeing the SP halve in price will be unlikely to benefit from the inevitable recovery, either selling at a loss or recovering losses for a long period of time. The hardest concept for me is selling a share when it is on a downward trend, particularly if it is showing an increasing book loss. I saw Aberdeen as a recovery opportunity but bought in for the first time a few months ago. Long term holders will be looking at this share the same way I view Royal Mail.I am looking for £3 in the near future and we have already been there. Iff you are looking for £5 twill be a long wait.
