Wonderful rise in recent days.

[gilesy911] 11/11/2022 16:30

Ok maybe 9.98

[gilesy911] 11/11/2022 16:28

10 to close

[skinny] 10/11/2022 13:59

Thanks UtyINV.

[gilesy911] 10/11/2022 13:58

Good news from the US!!

[utyinv] 10/11/2022 10:55

They are sticking to raising divi in line with average CPIH

[utyinv] 10/11/2022 09:37

Webinar at 9:45.

Maybe questions relating to divi policy raised?

[skinny] 10/11/2022 08:33

Uty - and therein lies the rub!

The chart is progressing well from the recent lows.

£10 hit this morning, if only temporary and before the programmed computers auto sell to capture profits.

[newbank] 10/11/2022 07:53

Uty,

Thanks for that. The question remains, If they stick to the Policy.

NG announced record profits, will they be hit by any windfall tax? Hope not, because NG have a massive infrastructure build in the pipeline to facilitate net zero.

I know you are a Professional Engineer and your maths is appreciated by us sleepy heads, this early in the morning :)

So if the CPIH remains at 10%+ ( say 10% for ease of too much speculation), last year’s divi in total was 50.97p (17.21p +33.76p) x 1.1 ( 10% CPIH) = 56.067p less interim announced today of 17.84 = 38.227p for a final divi IF THEY STICK TO THEIR DIVI POLICY!

Looks good at first glance, I'll give it a bit more concentration when I wake up ;)

[utyinv] 10/11/2022 07:17

17.84p Interim Divi

Up from 17.21p

Don’t forget the Interim is not reflective of the link to CPIH. So for the overall final divi announced next spring, they take last year’s total divi and times it by the year end to date CPIH figure at the end of March to derive total divi for the current year less what has already been paid in the interim.

[gilesy911] 08/11/2022 13:25

Come on £10

[gbh2] 08/11/2022 12:13

Possibly, I've considered taking my 12% profit but cannot find anything to do with it.

[utyinv] 08/11/2022 12:02

Or taking profits from buying at previous lows🤷‍♂️

[gbh2] 08/11/2022 10:54

SP Increases quickly sold down suggests someone has no faith in NG's near future.

[bountyhunter] 07/11/2022 12:41

In the current climate it's good news if no bad news is being leaked ;-)

[gbh2] 07/11/2022 12:04

Judging by the share price action (lack of) there's no good news being leaked atm.

[lovewinshatelosses] 06/11/2022 19:07

Yeah...helping the most vulnerable will equate to the majority of people, but only enough of a stipend to avoid revolution perhaps. UBI, anyone? And only after they have been responsible for destroying the efforts and achievements of most of that cohort in the first place! The antithesis of capitalism IMO, in case anyone would consider my comments to be that of a communist. Which I most assuredly am not, nor ever have been. Nor ever would be.

[al101uk] 06/11/2022 18:04

bountyhunter,

Funny how that works, I guess some people feel they are more equal than others :-)

[bountyhunter] 06/11/2022 18:01

I can't see the Sunak household going for that lol :)

[al101uk] 06/11/2022 17:55

100% inheritance tax then?

And ban private schools.

Don't want to any unfair advantages in this new egotalitarian paradise. If everyone should be rewarded on merit they must start on an equal footing surely?

Inflation has been created by Johnson and Rishi's cavalier attitude to spend £ hundreds of Billions to fund the furlough scheme, the 'eat out' financial support and the £billions given in grants to businesses much of it was fraudulently claimed and consequently lost forever.

What did Joe Public expect?

When you take money out of the Kitty you have to somehow put it back.

Reason why the 'Left' were happy to encourage Boris and Rishi to give money out freely was in the hope that would lead to a redistribution on wealth. It will never happen, human nature despises those that want something for nothing!

The 'Green Eyed Monster' of envy, needs to be replaced by a work ethic that supports the practice that hard work is rewarded by increasing wealth.

As others have mentioned on here many times before; only the young, aged and the infirm deserve support from the State, everyone else should work to live. Going back to the time man was created, man was born to work.

Everything in life has a cost and payback. Eat a bar of chocolate and you need to work it off through exercise, otherwise if you continue to indulge without recourse your health deteriorates. The same applies to finance. AIMO

I expected higher interest rates and a housing crash years ago as well! Now it's inevitable.

You'll laugh at this, Carney is like a dog with a bone and just won't let things go, even today. Good riddance to bad rubbish! He obviously hasn't checked out the inflation rates in other EU countries, like Germany for example! Maybe we should send Bailey out to Canada to run their banking system for them. I'm sure Carney would love that.
