The Saga Saga Continues as the Big Insurer Takes Steps to Bump Up Profits

Hello, Share Squeakers. October is a fraught month for me. That’s because I spend too much effort trying to get better insurance deals for my home and car. The trouble is that comparison sites nearly always fail me because my house is rather unusual and sits by the sea. They can’t seem to grasp that because we are on top of a lofty cliff, we can never flood. Any road up, I know from my perambulations around the net that competition among insurers and their brokers is horrendous. And that’s what seems to be troubling Saga (SAGA) just now.

Saga - cruising to a higher share price?

Since I first talked about the stock, Saga (SAGA) shares have been in a very tight range. I have picked up some decent income (the stock yields just over 7%) but - as I am not yet a fully paid-up member of Dividend Munchers United - that does not overly excite me…

Saga Battles On, but I Worry about Possibly Fading Loyalty and Stiff Competition

You know the old updating of Shakespeare's seven ages of man speech. Well, the modern version is just four ages - lager, aga, Saga and ga-ga. Saga (SAGA) being a company which provides services for the getting-on-in-years tribe. This tribe is more numerous than it used to be - and becoming even more plentiful.

Saga: buy 'em even if you are a young 'un

We all like shares that go up a lot but in terms of idea generation I think the biggest fallers list is by far the most interesting.  Near the end of last year I saw that the insurance and travel company Saga (SAGA) shares fell sharply after the company said that its profits would be hurt by a combination of factors including 'a lower level of written to earned benefit and a decline in reserve releases' and investing more into new 'customer acquisitions'.  The net impact was that profits were expected to be 5% lower...but the shares fell over 25%.

Summarising Life, it's Lager, Aga, Saga and Gaga. You Might Buy Into One of them

A less beautiful way of saying it is: ‘Laga, Aga, Saga and Gaga’. The third word is a reference to a company which used to cater for the elderly. As a junior reporter I was once offered a freebie on one Saga (SAGA) tour for their grey-haired members. It was cancelled, sparing my embarrassment.
