V nice.....my small addition yesterday proved fortuitous .

[mike24] 02/7/2015 09:44

a low of 805 or 820 what does it matter, the divi gives
the share price solid support, the london housing ripple is creating a lot of
wealth so the next 2/3yrs looks good for investors/investing
same % rise & fall as SSE so just this sector to come back in favor

[salpara111] 01/7/2015 17:21

Very weak day on such a positive day for the markets generally.
I had thought I would not get 805 but I am not so sure now.

[bbonsall] 01/7/2015 16:55

The fall seems a bit daft to me. It is as though the neurotic punters think if Greece exits the Euro we are no longer going to need gas and electricity infrastructure here or in the US! How barmy is that? The yield is nearing 5.5% after standard rate tax. You can't get that in a savings account!

[veryniceperson] 01/7/2015 15:19

Topped up with a few more late morning @ 8.19 happy with that.

Pierre
I posted my thoughts on 3473

[gbb483] 01/7/2015 11:46

I'd say it's gone down because there are more lucrative stocks out there in the present grexit climate. Once punters have made a killing (or not) and Greece has gone its own way, then the punters will come back to regular income stocks.

[pierre oreilly] 01/7/2015 11:29

MC - do you think ng's price is driven by past prices, or things like the greek situation atm?

I'd say it's recently gone down (like almost every other share) due to greece worries, and gone up today due to the removal of uncertainty on whether greece would pay up or not. I'd hazard a guess that it will go up further (like mostshares) when greece manages to stay in the club (for the time being). I really don't think past prices know anythng about greece.

unfortunately the chart pattern really doesnt look like it has made its low yet
but it is tempting
think I may wait for a better looking pattern first


mornington crescent - 05 Jun 2015 - 11:30:59 - 3463 of 3554
will break 820 first

[speedsgh] 30/6/2015 15:04

seems to have fallen decisively through floor of rising trend channel dating back to mid 2010. also lower highs/lower lows being made since Q4 2014. share price has had an exceptionally good run since 2010. only natural for a period of weakness/consolidation imo.

[atlantic57] 30/6/2015 14:10

puzzled they have fallen so far fundamentals appear unchanged.

[salpara111] 30/6/2015 12:54

Hmm,
I have set a limit order for 805....has to be good value if only for the divi at that level.

[simongn] 30/6/2015 08:35

Been in cash and sitting on my hands since I sold a month ago at 929, have been tempted to get back in several times but have managed to resist the urge.

[mike24] 30/6/2015 08:11

828 holding out for a bit lower
press/media digging up every negative aspect of euro
which will drag on till good value returns

[utyinv] 26/6/2015 21:05

Not long till the AGM.

[bountyhunter] 25/6/2015 17:56

recovering a bit in NY after our close...

[mike24] 25/6/2015 14:18

chart seems to indicate down, short term, having sold half
prior to x divi, hoping to buy back lower
punters seem to be on the sidelines hoping for grexit bargains
there are two hundred or so, specialist cable fitters in uk, the guys
that work on pylons,not even employed by NG, some have seen wages
rise from 45 to 70k over last 18 months,directors paying themselves mega
bonuses,low interest rates are creating "real" inflation on par with 74
edit
sunday press,MPC "hawk" martin weale said britains job market
"fizzing away nicely" but wages were rising more rapidly than expected
=rate rise=strong pound=tougher for exporters,

a Greek tragedy while Brussels is wallowing in cash,

Where is this going

[blueledge2] 25/6/2015 12:22

Must get a bounce soon surely?

[skinny] 22/6/2015 16:02

Chief executive Holliday set to stand down at National Grid

[bountyhunter] 22/6/2015 14:06

Some interesting points; I've taken the long term chart in the header back 10 years now.
...a repeat of the 2007 pattern would be nice :-) ...but that pattern if repeated would require getting out at the end of the year!

[tonio] 19/6/2015 19:46

Probably in no better state myself, speedsgh. Just out of interest Google Finance goes back to 1999, has a free portfolio service and real-time prices.

If you look more recently at the NG share price around this time of year for 2013.2014,2015 -with a final ex-div date of June 4th/5th - in May the share price rises dramatically to fall again just before the ex-div date. Several days later (DYOR) it starts to rise again.
I suspect this is little to do with intrinsic NG value, more to do with traders' need to profit.It is what it is.
Cheers.
