Nice end to the week here ; but as we drift towards a coalition government (in one form or another )I see more instability ahead , the challenge is to profit from it .
If the polls tend towards a labour /snp pact , the share price is likely to go down . If it heads towards Tory/Lib Dem then probably will go up . Tory/ UKIP would probably cause market chaos in the short term. Lib/Lab pact then all bets are off?

Do I see an election coming ? Though to be fair , OFGEM could have delayed the announcement to the week before the general election rather than budget day.

SSE TO PAY GBP100,000 TO ENERGY ACTION SCOTLAND OVER CONSTRAINT PAYMENTS

-- Ofgem's action sends strong message that generators must not overcharge for helping balance electricity supply with demand

-- SSE's payment is first under Ofgem's transmission constraint rules
-- GBP100,000 payment ensures SSE didn't gain financially

Well spotted ! Hope so.

wad- you meant 1488p I trust.

[wad collector] 10/3/2015 19:13

Not wishing to start a bid rumour but.....

I thought we were doing that already, red. The way the share price is headed the government could pick up all the assets on the cheap.

bounty

The government can run utilities as off balance sheet assets, the shareholders providing the finance.

[bountyhunter] 10/3/2015 13:43

In my view re-nationalisation of nationalised utilities would be too expensive at the current time given the national debt ...unless we wish to end up like Greece...
(not that I'm saying it was a good idea in the first place! :-)

[wad collector] 10/3/2015 13:37

Picked up some more at 1488. The retail side is a political football , but the supply side is too important and too vulnerable for the next Government to mess with. Unless they renationalise , they risk scaring off investment in our crumbling electicity generation and supply infrastructure.

Looks like I was in good company with my 1519p buy . Not 100,000 shares though!

[ignoble] 06/3/2015 09:11

If anyone ...

[philo124] 05/3/2015 21:41

Plenty of time imo in the week when it's uncertain whose going to be able to form a majority government.

[wad collector] 05/3/2015 11:31

Beginning to look like buy time again. Volatility is to be expected between now and election day I guess ; with a serious share price plunge if Labour look like getting in either themselves or a liblab pact . Oh no ,they are a party for Business I had forgotten...

[wad collector] 02/3/2015 13:45

That would be the same post that you put on the UU and SVT BBs.
Am I right in thinking it was a rheteorical question?

Currently a SSE Shareholder.Can anyone explain the Dividend yield of Infinis Energy(INFI)at over 9% for 2015 ?

[philo124] 24/2/2015 16:36

Apparently it's to do with Ofgen comments/report.

[skinny] 24/2/2015 16:01

The RNSs are notification of stabilisation on £1.2bn of Sterling and Euro Hybrid Capital securities (debt) - so not quite sure why the price rise?

edit :- although the all time high has just gone on the FTSE.

[philo124] 24/2/2015 15:56

Quite a rise . don't understand today's Rns's so will enquire.

[lord gnome] 24/2/2015 15:23

What's put the wind into these sails today? More please.

[lord gnome] 19/2/2015 16:57

Thanks Skinny. All we need now is a 'Sell' and we have game set and match!

Centrica's results at the root of today's weakness I think ; took my limit buy at 1521 thanks someone.
There will be more turbulence ahead of the election I suspect.

[thuja2] 18/2/2015 20:13

They seem to use these utilities as political footballs as they do the NHS,

[wad collector] 16/2/2015 13:18

1521 and I will have some more.
