CNA is a defensive stock so should start motoring higher if Trump escalates trade wars..Average is 147 so well in profit but not selling any yet...

[nortic 007] 25/6/2018 11:11

Like your thinking!!!

[masterblaster] 25/6/2018 10:59

North of £1.60 this week?

[master rsi] 25/6/2018 10:29

Moving forward now and the UT 158p of last Friday has been surpassed, a very good sign considering the Market is still down with 70 points lower

[master rsi] 25/6/2018 09:04

Share price holding well, despite the 60 points down of the FTSE

And for Direct Energy 2017 saw 200,000 new electric cars in America.

[mitchy] 25/6/2018 07:57

So , since Friday, 164 new electric cars a day that's 328 new customers over the weekend and 492 new customers if you count today . Or another way of looking at it 60,000 new customers each year which is only going to increase. Ps, don't forget to charge your mobile, tabloid and laptop. You can always set a reminder on Alexa.

Is Centrica plc (LON:CNA) A Sell At Its Current PE Ratio?https://finance.yahoo.com/news/centrica-plc-lon-cna-sell-072434224.html

Only matter of time Big four?...

[whatsup32] 23/6/2018 18:47

Daily Telegraph reports
SSE and Npower merger won’t stop people switching says watchdog. Citizens advice Bureau says reducing competition by one won’t make a difference.

IMO It sounds like merger of the two will get the blessing of Ofgem .

Big six are likely to be Big five .

[whatsup32] 22/6/2018 20:55

Oil is nearing $70 state side .up over 5.6% today. Should be good news for CNA holders .

Electric cars are just flavour of the month at the moment but they come with their own issues. Certainly ain't the future (imo).Be gone when/if Hydro fuel cells take off.

[careful] 22/6/2018 19:16

Home car charging could be Centrica's next big thing.
They are geared up for it.

[careful] 22/6/2018 19:15

just looked it up.
seems cheap.
quoted $2.64 to charge for 70 miles.
even if we assume longer range then say $10 per journey.
$15 with tax.


so the economics are reduced to the relatively short life of the battery, loss of power with time and unreliability with time.
..a new battery every four years?
Hybrid better of course.

I see old Mercedes still running well after 15 years.
how will electric cars fare, depreciation and second hand value?

[careful] 22/6/2018 18:58

how much electric power does it take to provide that much power in 6 minutes?
remember there are no free meals, conservation of energy and all of that.
such a rapid energy transfer, what is the fire hazard.

A few calcs are in order.
what would our electricity bill be for each charge.
And what does the power station use for fuel, natural gas?

people are getting carried away thinking that all of a sudden energy will be much cheaper.
can't understand that.
I will do some sums.

I will assume a 50mw power station, and 10,000 cars being charged.
this ain,t gonna be cheap.
and how will hmg replace the billions it raises from tax on petrol and diesel?

electric cars will cause a shock if you forgive the pun.
..and how many charges until the battery is clapped out.

[supermarky] 22/6/2018 18:57

I think the chart wizzards are seeing more positive tea leaves now.

[supermarky] 22/6/2018 18:55
