Thanks Whatsup32 I'm really not sure but let's see.

what was the turnover?
last year about £28bn.
can't find it.

It may be a good investment Nortic. Will bring in nice div and lower your average . I don’t think there will be much capital depreciation from here. On the positive side if they unload the Nuclear stake that will bring a nice chunk of money.

I hope you mean 24/- :-)

[nortic 007] 21/2/2019 12:48

A fool and his money eh !!!! :)

[nortic 007] 21/2/2019 12:48

I've added 25/- here

Bought a bit just now. It is high risk and divi is there to keep us from jumping so let's hope we don't wake one day to hear it's gone!

As per my post 14857 - I switched (back) to British Gas in October on the (then) cheapest deal.

Having said that, when I originally switched away from BG (about 3 years ago?), I saved @£700 a year.

But those days are now over.

phda - Yes , I saw Martin Lewis recommend British Gas as the best deal on TV about 3 weeks ago. It would be wonderful if they were now actaully winning customers !

[skinny] 21/2/2019 10:30

BRV - its worth signing up for this .

@thunders
The next Div is 8.4p
12.00p is the full year div 8.4 + 3.6 = 12.00p

[billyrayvalentine] 21/2/2019 10:25

...phda, can you send me link to this deal, if such exists, tia?!

[nortic 007] 21/2/2019 10:08

I wish it was that easy ! :)

[phda] 21/2/2019 10:08

It might be anecdotal but BG has been offering the best fixed deal of the big 6 over the last couple of months. This may stem the tide of exiting customers and may even reverse the trend. Never been with BG in my life and joined this month as they were offering the best fixed deal at the time, even mentioned on Martin Lewis.

I will buy some now and will buy some more on 9 May if price drops. I hope that will work.

[skinny] 21/2/2019 10:05

Actually ex dividend day will be Thursday 9th May.

[thunders] 21/2/2019 10:04

I am sure by 10 May it will be more than 122p

[thunders] 21/2/2019 10:03

If I buy now I get 12+14 p once share goes back to yesterday price

[skinny] 21/2/2019 10:03

"will be paid on 27 June 2019 to those shareholders registered on 10 May 2019."

[thunders] 21/2/2019 10:01

When is the recorded date to qualify 12p Divi?

[nortic 007] 21/2/2019 09:59

I might wait until tomorrow morning. You'll get the usual press but the thing that perplexes me is why the statement has come as such a shock. You would have expected them to be trading down here in FRONT of the numbers and not after !!! ???Thoughts on the matter ?

[masterblaster] 21/2/2019 09:51

Imo we are now in a £1.20 to £1.30 trading range

[nortic 007] 21/2/2019 09:49

Guessing they'll be a mad rush from city analysts to get the first note out. DB will get there first !!
