Dr,I am 65k down overall in the last 2 weeks,if its any consolation.Around 9.6%

[dr biotech] 07/2/2018 09:34

I have added more this morning - NG is now my largest individual holding. Just hoping that it won't suffer with regulation as much as the other utilities. I think its in a better position as it can't really lose customers, not as if you can use an alternative carrier.

Must admit I am hurting this week. Think I am £35k down overall in the last two weeks, and thats painful.

Always long, never shorted.

Bounty,


Yeh, based on the ADR finish in the US, the shares should rise back up to £7.62 ish but that is following logic and we all know there doesn't appear to be any logic just now.

What will be a game changer is OFGEM's final decision in the Spring (March?)and NG's response to their 'Exploring other Options' statement.

In the meantime, the divi is something that cannot be overlooked possibly why Srpactive is now looking interested?????

Srpactive,

I hope your personal interest is positive? Are you thinking of exploiting your interest long or short?

Let's hope we can get through Feb without too much negative volatility :)

[srpactive] 06/2/2018 21:14

U

There will be a bounce tomorrow due to the US
markets bouncing 700pts after our close.

Then the 750p level needs to hold if retested
at a later date, if it does great if not
680p, aimho, dyor.

Yes looking for a friend to start with but quite
interested myself now.

[bountyhunter] 06/2/2018 20:57

Going up now in the U.S.along with the Dow which looks like closing up more than 2% after a highly volatile day!

[wskill] 06/2/2018 19:23

If interest rates get anywhere near 3% in the next few years I cannot see property prices increasing probably the opposite. So a 6% yield looks like a good buy to me but as shares usually overshoot on the down side maybe a further fall thought I had a bargain at £8.30 .

[coxsmn] 06/2/2018 19:04

Now a 6% yield, added a few more.

[veryniceperson] 06/2/2018 17:23

I always thought having a infrastructure to carry and deliver the product around the country. These must be very cheap by now.

[bountyhunter] 06/2/2018 16:58

UI - They look ok to me right now?
I think there may have been an advfn problem earlier with charts generally.

[utyinv] 06/2/2018 16:48

Srpactive,

I don't recall giving anyone a rough time????

At the time I was asking why you were interested in NG if you don't have any position.

By that I took it meaning you don't hold shares or hold CFD positions.

You also stated that you were interested because of a friend not because you had any position.

You don't work for a Hedge Fund do you? LOL :) Based on fundamentals its strange that NG should fall so low for a secure defensive stock.

Let's hope your prediction is right because if I recall correctly, you said that if it did hit 750p it would bounce back from that position. Or have I misread you?

Either way, I definitely have not given anyone a rough time, it's not my style.

Bounty, I don't think the graphs are updating.

[srpactive] 06/2/2018 16:18

U

I said my target was 750p when we were 900p,
and you gave me a bit of a rough time.

Buy when there's blood on the streets, sell when the violins are playing.

I'm not sure if that's the financier (1777-1836) or his grandson the banker and politician (1840-1915).

Safe and tucked away.

[justiceforthemany] 06/2/2018 10:30

Again share price is far too low IMO given P/E is now just 12 and yield around 6%

Bond yields reversed with share market sell off

[newbank] 06/2/2018 08:15

Uty,

You were almost spot on with your prediction of an opening price of £7.62.

Looking at the chart looks like £7.60 ish so pretty spot on.

Can you predict when this will start rising back to where it should be? :)

[atlantic57] 06/2/2018 08:08

The defensive qualities of utilities do not seem to count for anything at the moment.

[aganatra20] 05/2/2018 23:20

Utilities were one of the few to be hit the least in the states. So surely we should fare better than most when we open tomorrow. But who knows

[utyinv] 05/2/2018 21:26

Bounty,

yes just seen it.

Rough calculations, my guess would be NG drops to £7.62 at open.

When will this end???

No logic in markets. The trend in the past was when the DOW went up, NG and the likes fell (when equities are booming defensives fall). But with the DOW falling over 1000 points I would have anticipated NG to rocket.

Cannot understand why JP hasn't reassured the markets yet, as many CEO's whose Company shares are being shorted to hell would do so? It's not like we are in the close season yet :-(

[bountyhunter] 05/2/2018 20:50

UI, that Y-axis should re-calibrate itself automatically if necessary - which may well be the case tomorrow; have you seen that Dow chart in the header this evening! :-(
I don't suppose that exponential leg was going to carry on much longer; easy to see after the event of course!
