A little disappointing to see NG marked down this morning after a rise from yesterday's UK close in NGG.

sp may spike tomorrow, but NG should hold onto
valuable gas distribution arm

stretched to buy any more

Competition in onshore transmission as per ref above

UBS Just downgraded National Grid saying its US business was overpriced and there were short term regulatory risks to the UK Electricity Business when competative tendering is introduced in 2017.

Short Ng needs very deep pockets

[ringer12] 08/1/2016 15:36

Praipus. For what it's worth shorts below 3% would not show on the FCA daily updates and 3% of NG would be a very large sum indeed!

[praipus] 08/1/2016 13:36

Just wondered how you knew and if the information is available to all us nervous information starved PI's :)

[newbank] 08/1/2016 12:34

Praipus,

Note posted on 31st Dec, a lot can happen in a Week.

Also, don't assume that 'Naked Short Selling' isn't happening. Though illegal it is still prominent in the circle of Crooked Hedgies and these trades wouldn't show as such unless investigated.

Thanks ringer12, Euroclear showing 4.47% on loan in November 2015 I only have access to the free data. Doesnt say who it is.

Mayfair hedge does not show in FCA short positions. In fact no shorts are shown against NG.

[praipus] 07/1/2016 10:58

Newbank how do you know?

[davr0s] 06/1/2016 19:27

Very perky given the wider market selloff

[newbank] 31/12/2015 12:19

Mayfair Hedge Funds shorting Grid again? Hope they get burnt!

All my high yielders doing well today. Possibly due to the realisation that a quarter point rate rise in 12 months time won't be devastating. It's now fully discounted imv.

[gateside] 23/12/2015 14:20

Shhhhh :-)

[bountyhunter] 23/12/2015 14:17

no one wants to jinx it! :~)

[ringer12] 23/12/2015 14:04

IF this price holds it's a nice Xmas bonus! Surprised no comments.

[pierre oreilly] 11/12/2015 12:40

so that's getting on for a billion quid to secure 50GW for 2020. any idea what the capacity payments are for this year?

[m100] 11/12/2015 11:16

Provisional 2019/20 Capacity Auction Results



£18.00 kW / year (2014/15 Prices)

Aggregate Capacity 46,353.569 MW

There is also an additonal 5,524.317MW capacity for 2019/20 from the previous auction so around 51.9GW 'secured'

[bountyhunter] 04/12/2015 08:57

yes, -0.3% interest! would be nice if NG could 'look after money' and charge 0.3% for the privilege in place of their debt! ...ok I know that things don't work like that before anyone picks that up as a serious suggestion :-)

[newbank] 03/12/2015 15:23

Draghi has really dissapointed the Markets!

[pierre oreilly] 01/12/2015 13:22
