"Ofgem has decided to reject a proposal by National Grid Shetland Link Ltd and Aggreko to build a subsea electricity distribution link from Shetland to mainland Great Britain."

Be interesting what happens to the planned huge wind farms

I presume the news on the Shetland Link on SSE thread is having an effect here?

If a year's worth of dividends is about 45p, the yield is over 5%.

I don't think the BBC prices are as accurate as looking at closing and opening trade prices since these are the actual prices in the market but either way the drop exceeded the XD amount as predicted which I agree is often the case.

According to BBC (just a quick glance)the price dropped 31.2p from 8.913p yesterday.

So veryniceperson, you said: 18 UtyINV any more than that daylight robbery

Looks like we have a robbery! LOL


Anyway, hopefully this will eventually start to rise back to where it should be, close to if not at £10. How long it will take is anybody's guess.

If you look at fundamentals the stock is sound. Its the political noise that is spooking the market. If Brexit can move forward and the potential price Cap announced by the Gov doesn't amount to much then sense in the markets will return.

If you look at the US Dow and how that has performed since 2014 and how the FTSE has performed the difference is startling. Maybe America has the two parties (no matter what the differences are ) both Republican and Democrats who believe in business success is good for the people and the Country.

We are not so fortunate we have a Conservative Party and a Marxist led Labour party who don't believe in business being good for the people. Maybe an opposition run by the likes of David Miliband would produce some level debate.

Hopefully the next election won't be till 2022 and by then the political rhetoric will die away.

I took the mid at the time of the last trade in opening hours at 16:29:29 of 885.5/885.7
there were some trades logged after hours at a slightly higher price but I ignored those

closed yesterday at 885.6 (mid of last trade in market hours) opened today at 867.25 mid so that's an initial 18.35p drop not 15p, and yes this is just a bit of fun!

Not sure what all the mystery about the price on the xd date is ... it'll initially open with a mid 15p below today's closing mid. Then immediately after that it'll be governed my normal market forces. if it closes say 10p down tomorrow, then that'll effectively be a 5p gain as far as shareholders are concerned. (all ish).

guessing exact prices is just the same as guessing red or black on the roulette wheel.

ok the header is correct now, don't know how that happened, I still think that an initial drop of 20p is most likely with a closing price up on the day taking the 15.49p xd into account

Warranty,

Very good point, tend to agree about being a buying opportunity long term. How much it falls is down to the big boys and how much they want 'out' of NG :)

Their divi is already in the bag for January 10th.

They may take capital out to invest in another stock that is about to start rising (usual trend is to rise up to Xd date not drop over two weeks prior like NG) up to an Xd date in the near future, make income from that and hopefully sell once that stock has gone Xd and if they bought in roughly the same price as they sell out then Money in the bank.

This trend tends to go on through many stocks, that's how these City boys make their £millions of bonus.

My rough guess is that they will be back into NG in the run up to final results in May and stay put to qualify for Final Divi which goes Xd 31st May paid in Aug.

That is if there isn't political upheaval in the meantime :) AIMOO

No Bounty,

Its tomorrow 23rd Nov. Friday is the record date. So yes the header is wrong sorry.

from the NG calendar : 23 Nov 2017 - Ordinary shares go ex-dividend for 2017/18 interim dividend


However, trend usually is for a fall on opening then a slight recovery then usually another slight fall on the record date even the record date shouldn't effect the price (its just when the registrars calculate who had shares on the closing of today 22nd Nov.

Interestingly though the Xd date for US adr's is Nov 22nd. It dropped late last night and on open today it started reasonably but the dropped but has since regained. May be promising omen?

Isn't the XD date Friday?
We seem to be going back up now so I will forecast the opening drop at just 20p :-)
The Brexit contingency fund announced today by PH (or was that at the insistence of TM) is good news.
