[338] 05/4/2019 15:46

any link to that news from Morgan Stanley

[losses] 05/4/2019 15:43

Been saying for a while... don't fight the trend.. 100 coming soon.. then no idea..But I recon we can undershoot.. I'll buy some around 80p if it gets there without divi cut... however with doc cut could easily be 50p in no time..

Centric Plc : Morgan Stanley cuts target priceto 95p from 105p

Glad i sold out of here, even at a loss. Not sure the decline can be arrested any time soon

First World Problem!

[mitchy] 05/4/2019 14:52

Just the 73k down then in real terms (not counting today).Sucks to be us. Energy down again.

that labour and would take back cna and the brexit nonsense,its nothing to do with either folk are looking for excuses,WE don,t know as yet what the problem is,but there is a problem!

[hjs] 05/4/2019 13:28

CNA has lot of issues for the share price to be depressed but the last couple of days drop is due to Labour joining with Conservatives to resolve the Brexit issues and the market thinks that this will not be resolved and there is a chance of G-Elections! Labour have already indicated what they would do to the Utility sector if they came in power!

Its not always a "Choice, Centrica for example took over a small oil company (based in Aberdeen) in 2009 called "Venture Production". Centrica did a hostile take over with majority share holdings and applied for de-listing and the existing share holders had no choice but to sell at the price set by Centrica (i know someone that lost a lot)...................... So the Government would just force share holders to sell for what ever price they offer...................................

[mroalan] 05/4/2019 12:19

well its not like you wern,t made aware chaps is it? you,d think CNA has problems we are not aware of as yet? the price is trying to tell you something here,forget the moon your going the wrong way.

[supermarky] 05/4/2019 12:15

Nothing is too silly here. It has been silly season for a long time. Pin the tail on the donkey with the price.

[bennodean] 05/4/2019 12:12

IF 1.10 goes, then only other major support I would suggest is back in 1997 at 85p ? But that would be silly.

Friday up day on the DOW might hold back the tide.

[losses] 05/4/2019 10:09

1 coming soon told you the city boys want it down.. don't buy yet and fight the trend.

[338] 05/4/2019 09:17

logically shareholders paid > £2 won't sell for £1.10, will they?

[wipo1] 05/4/2019 08:57

Why would Corbyn pay £2 when the current price is £1.10?

[338] 05/4/2019 08:33

how much will the government pay CNA share to take it back? £2 per share?

[masterblaster] 05/4/2019 08:30

Imo fear of a snap general election with a labour win and the threat of natioalisation is depressing all the ulility shares.

[338] 05/4/2019 08:14

Adjusted basic earnings per share (EPS) - trending down
Group net debt - trending up
Basic earnings per share - trending down with last year's basic earning was only 3.3p

Ideally the dividend should only be 3p - 5p, would you agree?

[bennodean] 05/4/2019 08:04

Cut it to FTSE average (4.4% ? ) and make it a kitchen sink job. You'd be back north of £2 in 12 months

Until newspapers stop with the "British Gas lost 372,000 customer accounts in the four months to October...." this is likely to keep taking it up the tail pipe.
