Obviously though someone has decided to take profits,

[newbank] 12/5/2014 14:31

From 8.58 to 8.52.

With the results due on Thurs it should be going one way!

Especially when they make the 'City' realise the divi will be approx 27.65p / share payable in Aug

What fall?

[newbank] 12/5/2014 12:53

What's caused the fall? Anyone have an idea?

[arja] 12/5/2014 09:25

beautiful looking chart and tempted to enter but a bit of a political stock I guess .

sco77harris, you didn't have long to wait to get your wish! Picked up some @807 in February and added more this week after top slicing AZN for a very decent profit. Still a good dividend yield at current price.

[sco77harris] 09/5/2014 10:27

Would be great to get past 850

We now need a close and hold above 830 to get out of the current slight downtrend.

[lord gnome] 15/4/2014 11:58

Exactly Pierre - this is better than a Gilt. Safer and more rewarding than bonds with a slice of dividend and capital growth thrown into the mix. I've never been brave enough to trade mine, although there have been good opportunities.

[pierre oreilly] 15/4/2014 11:04

So was I Nut.

The key point about ng. imv is the lack of risk in the uk regulated business. No possibility of bad debts, no marketing dept, no salesmen to pay etc etc - quite an odd business really - just an almost zero risk regulator approved slice off the traded electricity, with returns based on assets.

[nuttynige] 15/4/2014 10:51

I was having a little bit of fun, nice little rise so far though.

[tonio] 15/4/2014 10:26

Well you live and learn, in that case my apologies - I've been buying in more NG stock for ISAs in anticipation of a further rise so it was welcome to see the move today.

[pierre oreilly] 15/4/2014 10:03

Tonio, do you ever ask yourself wtf you are on about?

[nuttynige] 15/4/2014 09:49

He was clearly alluding to the 0.25p being the trigger for better things today, clearly sometimes that can be lost on those of us less well equipped to see it!

[tonio] 15/4/2014 09:10

I take it back Pierre, you are just like Monty - you appear to have the magic touch.
You infer a sentiment, the market does the opposite - genius!

[tonio] 14/4/2014 21:11

Oh how caustic can you get. A 25% capital return over two years,plus dividends
is a really bad deal n'est-ce pas?

[pierre oreilly] 14/4/2014 13:01

Up 0.25p, knew this was a winner.

[utyinv] 28/3/2014 09:05

M100

Sorry don't understand your abbreviation in brackets (vbg). The South American business was poor compared to the North business but it was non core, and non core businesses have been dropped

[grahamite2] 24/3/2014 23:42

The sell off? Plummeting? Are we looking at the same share?

What I see, as an income-seeker looking at the longer term, is a share that has had a modest pullback in the course of a long term uptrend.

[tonio] 24/3/2014 18:26

Again though looking at the graphs at top of site it does look like US holders selling down but then after our close buying back?
