Today's Trading update "Pre Year-End Trading Update" is effectively a profit warning. Looks ugly.
Here is the link to the update.

I find insurance company reporting pretty opaque at the best of times but agree with Ramridge that it seems to amount to a profit warning. Market certainly thinks so.

I thought so, managed to get out at 715p by selling early. I read the the book; http://www.stockopedia.com/books/profit-warnings/
This announcement contains inside information.
Odd remark at the end of the RNS. It's not any more - surely the main point of all RNSs is to make inside information public?
It's insurance, they will suffer larger losses some years, it's the nature of underwriting, I sold out a few weeks ago as shares did not seem to be going anywhere now I'm tempted to buy back in.
It's a good idea to set up alerts in shares you hold so you can see them before the market opens, most are released at 7am.
Canaccord and RBC notes worth a read, clears up one or two points. Not too sure if able to print part or whole here.
