Not intended as advice Minnie, just my thoughts in response to Alphorn's post. Congratulations by the way on your success in building up your business, it must have been very satisfying.

"Was in them from privatisation through till late 90's, taking scrip divis on the way....didn't need to be very bright to see this opportunity Minnie lol."

Thanks for the heads-up on the the utility shares.

Sadly, I missed the opportunity to buy the privatised entities like you did and make use of the compounding scrips.

Silly me.

I see one analyst thought it would be up 30% . The end of the financial year 2017 was profit before tax 5.275 Billion. If that's the case it would be up 6.9 Billion before tax , if that's true it will be a great result. Fingers crossed, increase the dividend and start to see the share price getting back into the 60p + :)

Alphorn: re: UU I hope you are right and that their 1.57% increase in a weakish day is attributable to turmoil within the labour party and a receding threat of renationalisation. Was in them from privatisation through till late 90's, taking scrip divis on the way....didn't need to be very bright to see this opportunity Minnie lol. Maybe worth looking at again now though. Lost track of where the business is but the yield used to be good. They had expensive problems to sort including clean up of beaches and leaking pipes and maybe they were less attractive to predators compared to other utility companies since acquired. Potential downside is that still vulnerable to possible interference by the regulator....difficult to gauge.

Good news that Bernie Sanders will be standing for President. Trump's second term, already odds on, is now more or less assured.

Good for you shy. I don't care.

[minerve] 19/2/2019 15:37

These good figures do however conceal some signs that the growth in the labour market is stalling. The total number of hours worked across the whole economy fell slightly in the last quarter. There was also an increase in the rate of redundancies.

I never asked and nor do I want proof, I couldn't care less what words you type on here. You're a really sad case, that's all I know, certainly the saddest and oddest I've ever come across.

[grahamite2] 19/2/2019 15:36

We know, we know. And you're 6 foot 1 and lean as a racehorse and you've got a girl in every port!

The internet is a dream come true for fantasists.

Shy

I am not here to prove anything to you. I know it is a fact. That is good enough for me.

[shy tott] 19/2/2019 15:24

Do you know what I and almost everyone else takes from the above? ….. you probably don't even own a car.

[gbh2] 19/2/2019 15:24

Results and update on the 21st according to what I made a note of some time ago,

[shy tott] 19/2/2019 15:18

You get 5 games of Bingo for a quid in Brighton. I'm sure they have outings for you there Minerve.

Soubry protester James Goddard charged with harassment - ha ha ha. Give him some community service. Clean up some houses ready for refugees.

"It's Japanese gov policy to encourage manufacturing back to Japan"

I thought we had government policy to attract business here. Obviously it isn't as attractive as Japan's. LOL

In other words, 'the bribes aren't sufficient enough to swallow the plans of the chimps'.

Wouldn't you just love to get in a big card game with Minerva? No doubts he puts all his cards face up on the table.

"It's Japanese gov policy to encourage manufacturing back to Japan"

If only we had,

A)Manufacturing

B)Government which cared with a mid to long term plan.

Getting rid of the no deal negotiating angle is a bit like saying 'in the next few weeks, we are going to sell £3trillion worth of gold'. And no one would do that, would they.

[maxk] 19/2/2019 14:54

It's Japanese gov policy to encourage manufacturing back to Japan, and now they have a trade deal, there is no need to manufacture in this country to access the €uro market. They are not re-locating to mainland €urope, they is going home.
