The price of oil has dropped back in the last two days,with the rise having propelled bgy up this is simply a correction.I sold up at 490 will keep an eye to reenter.Dealing bgy has been one of my best earners this year.

Now 100th company! Is FTSE 100 therefore the inevitable destination? Does anyone know the answer pls?

I got my figures from ADVFN. If you go to the toplists, and then click on market capitalisation, you will get the list of the companies in the order of their market cap. Based on today's closing price, BGY is 101st company.

This must be why the big boys have been sniffing around of late. If you can't beat them, jo...................!DYOR.

According to a report i just read from CSFB, BGY is currently the 93rd biggest UK company, and thus should get promoted to the FTSE 100 along with Cairn energy that will get automatic promotion for being in 89th place.

[rafieh] 25/8/2005 13:43

what's the minimum market cap that BGY needs in order to get a place in the FTSE 100?
My understanding is that its market cap should be higher than the one of the 90th company in the FTSE100. This is currrently Amvescap, with a market cap around 2,96 B.
If that's the case, we need a share price of > 528P for BGY. Is it true, and if yes, can it be achieved?

Deutsche Says Buy British Energy Shares

Thursday, August 18, 2005 4:08:32 AM ET
Dow Jones Newswires



0750 GMT [Dow Jones] LONDON--Deutsche Bank advises picking-up British Energy (BGY.LN) stock whilst it's weak. Changes to winter 2005 electricity prices seen largely irrelevant as 84% of period's electricity is already sold, while 06/07 prices are now above 05/06's. Arguments that oil prices will be stronger for longer are supportive of BE, says Deutsche. Has a buy rating and 500p target. Shares +1.1% at 448p. (SPM)

Thanks for the upgrade info chef!

[okblue] 18/8/2005 15:46

Can you post the full artical for the upgrade

This was yesterdays

JP Morgan upped its target on British Energy shares to 420p from 450p and reiterated its "overweight" stance.

looks like they got the 420 to 450 the wrong way round ?

[xchef] 18/8/2005 13:43

Morgan Stanley has today upgraded this stock from 520 to 550,must be a good sign.

[elsworth] 18/8/2005 10:53

Short...........the chart has been very bullish, can't see this trend pointing upwards non-stop!!

I'm gonna let the chart/trend carry on, but as soon as some negativity sets in........it will be free money on a bear trend.

[grippa] 18/8/2005 08:49

What makes you think it's a short? the chart looks too bullish IMO.

[elsworth] 18/8/2005 07:55

....must be coming VERT close to a point where this stock will be an excellent short.........any shorts looking to enter....what price?????

[grippa] 17/8/2005 15:36

The chart still looks very bullish, especially after recouping all the losses today! IMO
