Surely not going under 700 ? This is starting to look silly now. It's got to be political. I bet JC and JM are giggling, I wonder if they've brought a few themselves and tucked them under there red beds.

MJ19,

are you short on these?

As Newbank asks do you work for an Institution with a vested interest?

Wasn't Morgan Stanley recommending 'Overweight' on 22nd Jan with a price target of £11.00?

MJ19,
Eh?
Sorry, your post is confusing. Do you work for a Broker, Hedge Fund, Financial institution? I only ask because you mention e-mails etc.

Also, to quote 2003 and 2010 lows and trends (if I understand your post) we were in different territory ie, we were lightly involved in the US (early days) and since then our Assett base both in the US and U.K. ( including Interconnectors) have more than doubled. Also 2010 was the global crash where the likes of say Diageo were £6/£7.

So sorry,I don’t understand the gist of the e-mails, ie, what e-mails and from whom and for what purpose and what does ‘one of ours’ mean ??

Or in plain English, nothing actually happened.But with National Grid (NG.), something almost did occur to judge by emails received. This lot are "one of ours", a share we monitor on a daily basis for clients. For some time, we've been warning this is on a path to 690p with secondary, when broken, at a bouncy bottom hopefully around the 630p mark.The dashed line across the bottom of the screen dates from 2003 and certainly gives hope to some justification will be found for a bounce should 630p - or so - make an appearance eventually. Alas, we've a slight concern about the 630p ambition as it catapults the share price into a region where 490p makes a long term attraction, rather effectively matching the lows of 2010 and signalling a viable entry point. If it even appears!

Sp/Andy,

IMV the biggest issue is OFGEM and their unrealistic demands on cutting revenue.

On Nationalisation, yes Royal Mail will be easier to bring back yet their share price remains quite high.

MacDonnell states that the bonds they will exchange shares for (if that is legally possible for a viable and profitable company) the cost would be determined at the time.

Here’s a thought though, everyone is assuming the price is being driven low due to the threat. However, if you go back to the election last year when there was a serious chance Labour would get in to power, Analysts were saying the price could be pushed up higher because the new Gov would have to buy at market rate. So if that was the case, if the Hedge Funds want to make money, there is an opinion that if the threat of Corbyn was credible, the Hedge Funds would push up the price of the shares to sqeeze more money out of the Gov (more bonds for a more expensive share)especially as the rate of those bonds pay interest secured by a Nation.

So, maybe you are right, maybe it’s not Nationalisation but instead it’s the inaptitude of this Gov in giving a blanket statement of price caps without any qualification as who it applies to and to what measure. After all, this Government is fantastic at procrastinating. TM is IMO a poor PM who never gets anything done and dusted.
She concentrated on Brexit so much so that everything else is delayed. Most Brits just want the Gov to tackle what affects them most, ie, the economy etc.
Most Remainers and Leavers are becoming more united by the day for wanting TM to get a good deal with Barnier or walk away. Either way procrastinating does no one any good.

Just ask yourself what has TM and her Cabinet delivered since coming to Office in Autumn of 2016? Apart from going on glorified holidays to different parts of the world, she and they (Cabinet) appear to have done Jack S..t!
TM’s husband Philip went to China, why?? Was it to feather his own interests in business? Call me cynical but I believe there is more to it than meets the eye.

The threat of Corbyn getting in being responsible for the constantly falling price seems reasonable until one looks at the lofty heights of the Royal Mail price that is facing the same threat. Are we all barking up the wrong tree?

Not looking very good if the Labour party get in and threats to renationalize start to be initiated soon after. Could be another election sooner rather than later amidst the Brexit problems.
Not sure that the Grid will escape fall out and will continue to drop. Do I stay or do I go? questions !

Any future Government can easily nationalise these businesses - they’d issue bonds in order to do so.

Neither relatively, lloy had £13bn in the bank
before it was ruined by VB and GB, and
they got away with it, you would have been
punished more for stealing an apple from a
market stall.

A safe stock just does not exist.

Same Baz. I'm buying these on a very long term outlook. I consider these cheap, and will buy more should it continue to fall

There is and never has been a safe stock.
