I am waiting for 190 SUB to top up b4 divi.

Anyone who judges his entry level by what's posted here deserves all he gets!

Skinny's chart reminds us it's over a decade since this was briefly below £2, and longer term you have to go back nearly 20 years. It won't go much below where it is now. 160 is fantasyland.

Thanks Mitchy

Looking to enter here but unsure when!

[pineapple1] 07/8/2017 13:40

Its not at max pessimisum yet so still further to fall.
Perhaps when peeps start predicting £1 or 50p or even bust we'll know its time to load up. Thats if £1.60 is not hit first if indeed at all....
imho

[supermarky] 07/8/2017 13:33

Yes skinny it's unthinkable this will get back to 400 but let's wait and see.

[mitchy] 07/8/2017 13:25

Gswer' - just google 'customers leaving BG'

anley - "There is False News being posted on this BB"

Haha, anyone who has been on ADVFN for any length of time soon realises that people will post what they are dreaming of, or what they would like to happen, or quite often what they overheard in the pub last night!!!

I sincerely hope the FSA have better things to do than read all the gossip and dream talk on here.

Yes, there are some very knowledgible people who post from time to time, but one has to learn to sort the wheat from the chaff as they say around this farming community haha.

A lot is posted 'tongue in cheek' and I get a laugh, those that seem to be more seriously deluded I generally put on 'Ignore' so I don't see their drivel and it can't effect my blood pressure haha.

anley

And what may that false news be anley?

[anley] 07/8/2017 12:56

There is False New being posted on this BB which is an offence and may be being monitered by the FSA..............

[minerve] 07/8/2017 12:24

personally, I would get rid of all this so-called competition/new entrants. Some of them are nothing more than telephone centres with a bunch of wise-guy directors with no stakeholding in UK energy infrastructure, pension deliverance and so on whatsoever. Which? consumers magazine is the worst trumpeter of this competition because those at which can't think or see beyond next month's pay packet and what iPhone they may want to purchase with it.

[susiebe] 07/8/2017 12:17

But when customers shop around they will see that that there are no savings to be made and best to stick with what they know.A lot of scaremongery going on!!

[tim 3] 07/8/2017 12:12

Agree to me doing it in one go like this is madness puts them in the headlines for all the wrong reasons and encourages their customers to look around for a better deal. Have already seen some of the competition using it as an opportunity to grab their customers.

[gswredland] 07/8/2017 12:11

Mitchy

Could you tell us all where you heard punters were leaving BG in droves please??

[minerve] 07/8/2017 12:03

"but a lot of people will put the blame with the government and its climate change obsession, an obsession not shared by everyone"

We know buffoons don't share that opinion - led by buffoon in chief Trumpton. Afterall, why listen to experts? We should listen to a few wannabee experts whose own careers are suspect and they want to make a name for themselves; prime icons for the masses of half-wit morons in denial or not willing to give the overwhelming scientific evidence the benefit of doubt to be on the safe side.

[mitchy] 07/8/2017 11:52

Imagine where the share price for cna would be if the DOW and ftse weren't at or near all time highs? 160?

[grahamite2] 07/8/2017 11:48

Perhaps, pineapple, but a lot of people will put the blame with the government and its climate change obsession, an obsession not shared by everyone, especially not at £149.

[minerve] 07/8/2017 11:45

"12% bum smack in one go." LOL

[pineapple1] 07/8/2017 11:40

Fancy holding off price increases for afew yrs and then serving up a 12% bum smack in one go.
They certainly know how to play into the hands of those who believe that the energy companies are a cartel crushing the poor little consumer with unneccesary increases.
Conn must be a real pillock....
imho

[susiebe] 07/8/2017 10:12

BG are now on a par with their competitors.They hadnt raised their prices for 4 years unlike the others.So therefore why should customers leave,they wont find energy cheaper elsewhere!Healthy competition good for the industry.

[grahamite2] 07/8/2017 09:52

Portside, you're dead right about the game shows, Pointless and suchlike.

If someone comes on and drives a van or stacks shelves or something, fair enough, you can't expect that much. But you keep getting contestants who are at university or have recently graduated and know nothing at all about their own country's history, literature or politics. It is shocking and depressing.

[gswredland] 07/8/2017 09:51

I am sure they will be leaving. Who wouldn't?
How did you hear this Mitchy? Very curious

[mitchy] 07/8/2017 09:28

I'm hearing that ustomers are exiting BG in droves like rats from a sinking ship. Brokers target of 160p is starting to look more realistic.
