National Grid Share Discussion Threads

For me, today it is only companies with exposure to China or building trades that are advancing. NG is not among these; its just bumping along.

There hasn't been a share buyback for some time and not at these low share price levels.

In hindsight the Company should have waited for these lows before spending to buy back.

All we need is for the 'Board' to announce something spectacular to catch out the HFs whilst they're still shorting, ie a nice market rise on these shares before the HFs have time to close their shorts.

Labour go on about big business support of the Tories but never mention the direct support they get from the all pervading, left-wing biased, BBC.

Indeed, I've yet to determine what the difference is between a BBC interview with shadow chancellor Ed Balls and a party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party.

He gets an easy ride every time.

Losos,

My sentiments entirely. Millipeed is a left wing parasite that fails to realise that his false promises in offering lower fees to students, forcing the big six to freeze prices and split up the banks despite their recent recovery will only put us back into recession, scupper our medium term energy policy which will threaten the stability of the country's future and once our bright students eventually graduate and start on the career ladder of life they will quickly realise that Labour want to keep them poor through tax and spend. Millipeed's left wing policy is to keep people voting labour by keeping them poor.

The only students to benefit will be those wasting their time on studies that are little use to society or the tax payer.

Millipeed and Salmond are vindictive nasty men whose sole aim is to destroy anything that is great in Britain. Maybe they should both go to live in Russia.

You never hear Millipeed talk about clamping down on the legal business, restricting the vast sums of money lawyers get, that is because many of the left wing politicians have wife's who are Lawyers ie Millipeed, Blair etc. There is nothing more hypocritical than rich Left wing socialists.

Once the election is over and the uncertainty removed this will get back to above £9. City don't know the diff between the big six retail energy providers (who are being threatened by Millipede) and the National Grid.

Looking to buy, but looks like a downtrend with "sell" recommendations quoted on Sharescope.

[tonio] 04/3/2015 16:14

Hmm it's funny this, US funds often seem to be behind downward moves, but all the pressure recently has come during the UK day; NGG has quite often risen and it and NG since 2.30 today are flat presently. so you could infer it's UK/Europe interests taking it down.

[newbank] 04/3/2015 14:23

Oversold, HFT's making money again!

[mornington crescent] 27/2/2015 13:38

yet another lower high

down trend beginning to look well set

needs to reverse quite quickly

[tonio] 26/2/2015 09:25

No, but I'm thinking NG is looking oversold and due for a turn if the AT bots are still programmed with chart 'theory'.

Holding NG.for the Dividend and growth.Can anyone explain the 9% Dividend yield being offered by Infinis Energy(INFI)for 2015 of 18.33p

[bountyhunter] 25/2/2015 19:18

cheers tonio, currently gone up again in NY since 16:30 close in UK ...but I seem to jinx it if I speak to soon! ;-)

[tonio] 25/2/2015 18:14

Ok,no worries, hopefully it'll go higher in NY today. By the way your charts are really useful.

[bountyhunter] 25/2/2015 17:48

well it was when I posted, obviously I couldn't predict the close

[tonio] 25/2/2015 11:44

Well,no -from 16.30 to their close it hardly moved, up a tiny amount. As to the limit there was a share buyback by NG going on, maybe that had something to do with it.

[bountyhunter] 24/2/2015 20:17

and moving up nicely in NY also...

[bountyhunter] 24/2/2015 12:31

...until now :-)

[gbb483] 24/2/2015 10:23

Strange chart / prices today - sharp cap at 900p precisely

[bountyhunter] 23/2/2015 17:43

Yes it does look a bit choppy I agree, but we have seen this pattern before. I've increased the long term chart in the header from two to five years.
My guess is that the stock market generally will also be choppy up the election especially if the two main parties remain neck and neck with only around a third of the vote each - we could easily end up with some form of coalition again the way things are going.

[mornington crescent] 23/2/2015 10:55

chart looks decidely choppy

may have topped out for some time

[esmerelda] 21/2/2015 08:50

The share save option you refer to is not something unique to NG and for it to be tax free it has to last 3 years.As for share buy backs do they buy back as just many as they issue as script dividend, as they claim is the reason? Or is this just an attempt to improve Earnings per share, which would be a target in the senior managements performance incentives?
