So what? Should he turn the money down because of his son in law? Obviously you would refuse the money lol

Hopefully Cameron will begin to take more notice of the expertise within NGC on all generation matters, and finally tell the greens where to get off. The madness heaped upon the esi has been going on for about 30 years since the campaigns (successful) to make Nukes scary and unacceptable - hence the mess we are in today with extremely low spare winter reliable capacity. Although it's now too late to prevent some sort of winter rationing over the coming few years on cold early evenings, there should be an immediate Nuclear build to at least help solve problems 10 years out (that's the earliest they can be solved).

The problems Cameron faces are some things are written into law n the UK, and dictats from green and leftie EU. Maybe the emerging problems (all predicted of course) Germany is facing from its mass windmill build may moderate the eu stance, but i doubt it.

Maybe the greens are to blame for no uk Nukes during the last decades, but the real fault was with almost the whole of the population which, until just a couple of years ago, fully supported the anti-nuke stance, with Nuke support extremely thin on the ground. My various pro Nuke postings on various boards over the last 10 years were mainly met with total disbelief, zero support and even accusations that I must be some sort of mass murderer.

Telegraph today expresses much the same sentiments about energy:

[tonio] 08/5/2015 18:55

Yes, you do wonder if we've all been manipulated by the Australian/US Conservative backrooom election strategists but to me it was a great victory for the innate common-sense of the electorate. How ridiculous it would have been to change tack just as our, of necessity slow, recovery from 2008 is showing strength.
It will be interesting to see who the new government will put in charge of power generation and distribution - will a Department of Energy be created to devise a plan, for energy generation in particular, which will fulfil the country's needs?
At the moment any plan they have seems to have been dictated by perceived environmental considerations. Opposing arguments have been totally suppressed - that can't be right.

great result for NG., also yield nearly 5% and not too long to wait for the final divi either :-)

[mike24] 07/5/2015 11:17

added a few more,
why all the panic! 8mln gone through at 869
with bid/offer at 863.5/863.7
nice recovery from 851

8/5 will be good to see punters hold their shares
and hope this will see up to a 15/20% gain over next twelve months
plus divi

If the big 6 get squeezed, they will pass the pain onto NG so will be affected.

[newbank] 07/5/2015 10:39

Fall due to fear of Milipede getting in.

Fear of five years of regression!

[tonio] 22/4/2015 19:28

Well the seemingly ' not-so-knowledgeable' nay-sayers seem to be UK-based investors; time and time again the perhaps more savvy US investors push the price up on the NYSE.

[newbank] 22/4/2015 11:04

What a fall! Vastly oversold and obviously being shorted by the HFT's. Don't they realise that the amount of investment being pumped into improving the system will increase the asset base to the tune of £billions?

Also NG does not fall into the realms of the big six retail energy companies and the threat by millipeede if Labour get into power, so there is no excuse for shorting this stock on political uncertainty.

[bountyhunter] 16/4/2015 17:38

who knows, perhaps he has his own generator ;-)

[redartbmud] 16/4/2015 13:18

bounty

If Milliballs gets into power, does he want the lights to go out or not?

[bountyhunter] 16/4/2015 12:06

It will be interesting to see if the price reacts first thing tomorrow to the opposition TV debate this evening

[gutterhead] 07/4/2015 14:38

Good to see Recovery. Bound to be buying opportunities as this share always get mistakenly affected by talk of political party actions around heating prices. Election will be rife with this sort of bull.

[tonio] 24/3/2015 07:37

Oops, o prolific broker poster.

[mike24] 23/3/2015 23:33

RBC broker latest target 980
fail to understand GS sell a few months back?
safe place to be if dow takes a dip?

strong $ should help results

[bountyhunter] 19/3/2015 18:48

tonio - I quite agree both are significant. I think the shares are now on the up due to the likelihood of low interest rates persisting for longer than had been originally anticipated by the markets. Also Ed has openly rejected the possibility of any coalition with the SNP so that also helps sentiment. IMHO FWIW!

[m100] 18/3/2015 23:14

I think that after the budget aka party political broadcast we can probably say goodbye to any threat of Labour and their price freeze, ok it wasn't aimed at NG but they could have easily got dragged into the argument on energy prices.

One threat that could have the potential to upset the entire UK regulated income stream is the SNP and their recent demand for Scottish generation to be given equivalent access with, it appears, the same connection and use of system charges as generation based much further south and possibly equal to that located in the South East!

I'd hope OFGEM would tell the whinging scottish midget to go and swivel or in the very worst case make any changes entirely cost neutral to NG.

[tonio] 18/3/2015 19:32

What's best for NG, the UK budget or a Fed statement? It's amazing to me after two highly significant developments there's not a word of discussion.

[thewheeliedealer] 16/3/2015 17:43

Hi all,

I picked up some NG. for my Income Portfolio last week - nice 5% divvy for a wonderfully boring Utility. I scribbled a Blog, you can see it here:



Have a nose round the rest of my Websites while you are there...

Hope you like what your eyes have to suffer,

cheers, WheelieD

[tonio] 16/3/2015 15:49

you can see in the lse and nyse graphs above the us funds want it higher - it's being held back on the lse.
