Sold and bought Vodafone then sold that and bought SSE . Holding SSE at break even . They are due to go xdiv towards end of this month so I thought it may have a decent run up that hasn’t materialised yet.

Yep. Breaking even is a good thing :)

Are you not holding anymore whatsup? I reduced,bought into Barclays & Tullow, they both turned against me so I sold & bought back in here for practically what I sold at, I’m no better or worse off which I look at as a result.

At last these shares are trading as they should.
Defensive in turbulent waters going up.

I agree masterblaster, unless you’re a drug baron living in Columbia the yield Centrica gives does stand out IMO The dividend was cut recently as well, combined with cost cutting measures & market sentiment improving another dividend cut won’t be happening. Utility companies are in the re-order business,Direct Debits, like mortgage payments & council tax,the demand is steady its the customer base that changes,no doubt it will take time, no easy money around at the moment.

Where can you get 5 to 7.5% return on your money, provided you can hold and not have to sell

[masterblaster] 02/7/2018 08:55

As i have stated imo the s.p.will reach at least £2.40

Potty/Mr Magoo is usually 4 days behind everyone else

Yes Marky I think 180 is easily doable either at the end of the week or month. We've waited 5 years for this breakout I don't mind waiting a little.There is a real chance folk will miss the best bargain prices . It's not going to stay around 160 for long....All in my very humble opinion.For a little security I suppose I'd advise buying any dips but it's very possible it may just keep going straight up.

Tanker - I'd change brokers - it should have been there last Thursday.

[supermarky] 02/7/2018 08:25

180 by friday! Wow super bullish.

[portside1] 02/7/2018 08:23

my 8k div is this morning in my account

[mercer95] 02/7/2018 08:23

Centrica was due a pullback IMO maybe not such a bad thing it is happening when the markets are getting bearish about the trade war,I’m gonna keep holding here GLA

[mitchy] 02/7/2018 08:13

At 7.5% divi it's at the bargain price.

Remember ,164 new electric car owners a day buying our products and that number is only going to grow.Tesla now producing 5000 cars a month.

[whatsup32] 02/7/2018 08:06

It’s a positive start, hopefully a positive finish.

With the trade wars looking likely to kick of , I’m thinking trade wise utilities will be immune to any upheaval.

[mitchy] 02/7/2018 07:57

180p by the close on Fri? Good luck.

[jpjohn1] 02/7/2018 07:53

I have the Ft to have a poor start at -63 at the moment bobbing about, hopefully not to bad a start here

[action] 02/7/2018 06:39

Support at 152 - resistance 159

[jpjohn1] 01/7/2018 22:14

Still think the EU will come worse off whatsup . They do put large Tariffs on USA goods, and until they ease them on the USA they will still there ground. I have the FT at the moment at -11 to start with but that can change a lot. Enjoy Scotland it's got some beautiful scenery , not been there for 45 years, I must get up there again :)

[whatsup32] 01/7/2018 21:27

EU is threatening USA with €300 billion import tariffs in retaliation for car duty’s from EU to USA .Wonder how the markets will react to that
