I'm cautious but it's nice to see them do something a bit different for a change.

Great day, not before time up 8.85p on a short week. Roll on 1.50 and 1.60 :-) Have a good weekend chaps

[latics2] 05/1/2018 16:49

Baby steps

Don't suppose many pi's havemuch profit to take but still lets not knock todays performance.

[nortic 007] 05/1/2018 16:37

Strong finish at the end and a good closing auction to finish. Didn't see a great deal of profit taking at the end of the day either.

Credit Suisse said, as markets are being too cautious on the likely effect of government price caps.

As a result of its detailed analysis on price caps, the Swiss bank upgraded Centrica to ‘outperform’ from ‘neutral’

Wow! Spot gas in NE USA 60 times that for when the cold snap ends because they can't get it through pipes quickly enough. Futures $2.87 versus spot $175!

Strong finish today, 1-48p UT, the boss of Centrica bought at these levels & he is a genius, keep holding

the biggest rip off in the uk is PHONE AND INTERNET CHARGES BY FAR
THIS IS WHAT THE GOV SHOULD BE CHASING MY CHARGES ARE FAR MORE THAN MY GAS BY AT LEAST DOUBLE BUT OUR MPS OWN MASSIVE SHARES IN THEM

[portside1] 05/1/2018 14:44

and no parking charges

[portside1] 05/1/2018 14:42

rail charge are still far cheaper than running a car , insurance tax break down cover
fuel servicing , and you have to buy the car and worth very little once you drive it out of show room .its worth around 3 k less

selbourne

but the rail franchises are allowed to hike up the ticket prices

I have been a Conservative-supporter throughout my life but the attitude of this government, notably the PM, towards utilities has been most disappointing. Either you believe in the free market or go back to wholesale nationalisation.

British utilities re-energised after investors make a bet on new gains

[capeview] 05/1/2018 13:05

It's nice to see the increase, but I bet there will be another few ups and downs in the coming weeks or even months. After all, at this price, there is potential profits to be had on those swings.

It's just if you have enough money to be able to do that, otherwise, like a lot on these boards, are either stuck with too big of a booking to risk half or a quarter every so often for a potential increase in holdings.

I'm thinking we'll be heading nearer to 1.50 but back down again for the profit takers.

[selborne_edge] 05/1/2018 12:43

The 'buyers' seem to have ample steam at present and enough to get past 150, if not today, at least on Monday. Whether £2 is a reasonable objective remains to be seen but whilst the new year rally continues, the future, regarding CNA shares, looks a lot brighter.

[jpjohn1] 05/1/2018 10:52

Good day today, people starting to see the value in this company at last

[nortic 007] 05/1/2018 10:39

It's all about sentiment. If that changes they are moon.

BUZZ-Centrica, UU: top gainers on FTSE 100 after CS upgrades https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/buzz-centrica-uu-top-gainers-083958560.html

[nortic 007] 05/1/2018 09:43

Just from a traders perspective I notice that they seem to be getting snapped up on the dips. I'd also expect to see more day traders getting involved.

[warranty] 05/1/2018 09:30

Jpj, I don't have my house on it like you do but I do have a substantial position in CNA at far higher than today's price. I'm entirely comfortable with it as I am averaging down when I can and in the meantime enjoying the dividends. I don't like Portside think the dividend should be cut in lieu of share buybacks. I'm not saying it wouldn't affect the share price but there are many pensions and pensioners who can't buy more shares and rely on the income. Obviously it's a tricky one and I don't envy Mr Conn the situation but as I say, the opportunity to buy at this level helps so as a long term holder I believe I will be better off in the long run when realisation of the value of CNA returns and the Corbyn nonsense is behind us.

[purple11] 05/1/2018 09:16

been buying these this morning gl

[jpjohn1] 05/1/2018 08:58

True, but literally have an house on it already, and don't want to put more money on it.I could buy a lot more to lower my averages like portside but feel I have enough money in this company.It will go up eventually to the price I paid for it, the date of that is anybody's guess. The price it is at now I would snap this company up again if I didn't already hold these shares
