09:03		prewar: Not convinced with JP. One week away from results and the share price is tanking. Has there been another leak to the ‘City’ friends of Chairman Peter Gershon? Was Andrew Bonfield’s offer from Caterpillar too good to turn down despite the fact that Caterpillar are going through some difficult times regarding claims of tax evasion. Was Bonfields plan to restore shareholder value and protect shareholder capital by investing big in the US reined in to comply with Ofgems demands on National Grid to run the Company as a Charity and to be content with a return on capital of around 3% whilst inflation in the U.K. is 4% and current returns in the US is 9%? In a couple of months the AGM may just prove a difficult time for Pettigrew and Gershon where remuneration rewards along with bonuses will be seriously questioned. Bonuses are there to reward for exceptional performance, I cannot see a share price falling 30% as exceptional performance. If the share price rose 30% from its highs, then yes, that is great performance but as it stands there isn’t justification to pay either of them the basic salary. Failure is failure! Uty, not sure para 3 is right, don't think Ofgem expecting to run UK side of NG as a charity. Are you saying the return is less than RPI? Doesn't sound right that?

17:10		newbank: Yesterdays rise and todays rise just about cancels out Mondays fall. So with the FTSE rising nicely, SSE rising, NG performance look poor in comparison. Saving grace is inflation falling. However, it will be interesting to see how the share price goes as we get closer to results and to hear the message of how NG is doing and what if anything JP and his Board are contemplating in order to get this share price back to its highs of last year. Afterall, if I recall JP justified selling 61% of the Gas Distn Business because he said that they wanted to concentrate on a business that would deliver greater returns for shareholders. I think a year should give us an indication of how that strategy has developed.

14:03		utyinv: Nice to start reading positive publications (mind you they are known to change their tune.... often :) ) Is the National Grid share price the bargain of the year? The National Grid (LSE: NG) share price has dived 30% year-to-date and is now more than 35% off its all-time high printed in mid-2016, excluding dividends. However, despite these declines, the National Grid business is still powering ahead. For the six months to the end of September, adjusted operating profit increased by 4% to £1.4bn. That being said, on a statutory basis, earnings per share for the period declined 12% year-on-year, and for the full-year, analysts are forecasting earnings shrinkage of 5.3%. Still, in my opinion, a 5.3% decline in earnings does not justify a 30% decline in the value of the shares. Indeed, even after factoring-in the earnings decline, the shares are now trading at their lowest valuation in six years. The bargain of the year? With a dividend yield of 6.2% on offer, the shares certainly look appealing for income investors, but the critical question is, what’s behind the recent share price decline? As my Foolish colleague Edward Sheldon recently pointed out, there are currently three significant threats overhanging the company. These include the danger of renationalisation if Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn gets into power, action by power regulator Ofgem, which has promised its “toughest̶1; ever crackdown on energy network profits, and rising interest rates. Of these three headwinds, in my view, investors only have to worry about the prospect of renationalisation. Indeed, Ofgem’s new price controls, won’t come into force until 2021 and the firm is working flat out to increase its exposure to the US to offset stricter regulation here in the UK. Almost 50% of revenue now comes from the US. This division is growing much faster, with profit rising 19.2% for the half year to the end of September to £526m compared to an 11.5% fall in operating profit at the UK electricity transmission business to £540m. The company spent twice as much (£1bn) investing in its US business than in the UK during the period. Meanwhile, higher interest rates have resulted in investors selling off ‘bond proxies’ like National Grid as they hunt for income elsewhere. So, to some extent, this issue is cosmetic. The company will have to grapple with higher interest rates on its debt, as well, although management should have already provisioned for rising rates. The biggest concern When it comes to the threat of renationalisation, it is impossible to say today how much compensation investors will receive if a Labour government takes over the business. That said, what Corbyn says and might do are two different things, and he may never actually get into power. With this being the case, I’d say the risks are skewed in the firm’s favour. What’s more, there’s already plenty of bad news baked into the National Grid share price. So overall, while some risks are overhanging the shares, I believe that on balance, the group’s 6.2% dividend yield is worth the risk, especially considering the company’s monopoly position in the market and valuation of 12.7 times forward earnings.

17:42		jonwig: @ Newbank - ironically, the agency which could thwart Labour's plans is the ECJ. All their favoured ways of 'leaving' the EU appear to mean keeping keeping the jurisdiction of the court. Given the intertwined relationships and arguments about fair compensation it's unlikely they could achieve anything on this front anytime soon! Unfortunately the NG. share price wouldn't be likely to make much headway in the meantime!

19:26		pierre oreilly: Hi Mani, no I'm not a sceptic at all. I pretty well know charting simply doesn't work. I'm trained in maths and science, and I bet most who believe in charting aren't. In maths terms, share price changes are non-deterministic and always, in academic research, the movement is simulated by a random walk (with other criteria necessary when that can be applied). There aren't a great deal of scientific papers on charting, simply because it's non-deterministic. However, when nobel prize winning economists who have studied traders who use charting, there is no difference to random bets. Traders who make a lot are simply lucky, those who lose a lot simply unlucky - a natural occurrence from randomness. On average chartists will lose, due to trading systems being zero sum with costs taken out. (That's the key to making money from charting ... set up an enablimg system to deliver trading services, and encourage trading. One way of encouraging trading is of course to convince people they can know a future share price, and charting seems a successful method of encouragement). You said before that a casino was different from the stock market. But really it isn't, except in the magnitude of risk and costs. Chartists looking at past prices attempting to foresee a future price are absolutely no different from the person who notes down the red and black sequence on the roulette board in an attempt to work out what colour will come next. Just as any red/black sequence is irrelevant to the next spin, so past share prices are irrelevant to the direction of the next tick and future prices (which are actually driven by sentiment which itself is driven by pretty random asynchronous events) Of course you may believe patterns indicate a future price, but you'd get a nobel prize yourself if you could publish a paper on how that is done. I find it difficult understanding your stance. You say examine past share prices and you can predict future prices, or the probability of future prices, and yet you say that most of your predictions are wrong, and you make money via stop loss strategies etc. The probability of a random guess is 50%, yet by your own admission, your charting delivers less success than random bets. The ultimate test is of course as i have highlighted. If anyone can predict future prices (or the probability of future prices at greater than say 51%) then they would be exceptionally rich. My guess is chartists like to believe chartism works, and so lay much more emphasis on the approx 50% of successful trades and tend to forget the approx 50% of trades which lose.

08:55		utyinv: As the share price rises the attractiveness of the Special Dividend and the corresponding share consolidation is less appealing. However, it depends on whether the strategy adopted by the NG ‘Board’ works in the long run where I would hope we would start to see some growth in the share price. Because let’s be honest for a progressive Company the share price has been rather disappointing where having languished in the £10 are for years it should be showing signs of upward momentum, hence analysts suggesting it should have reached £13 / share as far back as 2015. Anyway, whether you decide that the Special Dividend and share consolidation is for you or not is a person decision based on how confident you believe the move will bring future benefits to shareholders. In earlier posts, someone quoted a share holding of 20,000 so let’s use that as an example. Now If, a big If, the share price remains the same after the share consolidation (with the special Divi being cancelled out by the consolidation), the Private Investor will in the short term be worse off ignoring the tax liability that may result. Example, 20,000 shares at current price of £10.43 gives a value of £208,600 ignoring dealing selling costs and spread costs. 20,000 shares Special Divi of 84.375p = £16,875 Share consolidation: (20,000 /12) x 11 = 18,333 new shares. New total value if new shares have the same price as old shares:- 18,333 shares at £10.43 = £191,213 + £16,875 = £208,088. But if you wanted to buy the new shares back using your special dividend; if the price remains £10.43 post consolidation then with dealing tax on buying back you will effectively lose an additional £84 in dealing tax (£16,875 X 0.5%). In addition to normal dealings costs and spread costs. As for capital gains tax; as mentioned earlier in my post to Pierre, it begs the question about the 30 day rule whether buying the new shares is regarded as the same as the old shares. The new shares are not the same as the old shares and there is a clause excluding share consolidations, new share issues etc. It is all in the interpretation and to be certain you would have to consult a specialist who may end up charging you. Let’s hope the strategy works for shareholders in the long run, hopefully seeing future growth in share price. IMO!

09:38		utyinv: Mike24, As an added point, and this is only an opinion as I couldn't possibly give advice..... :) I expect the share price to rise after an initial fall, though this may take some time to get back to pre sale share price. However, the share price drop may be mitigated by the share buy back and a possible share consolidation. If the price recovers then you just keep your original option price. However, we have been here before where the share price dropped due to a rights issue when NG was raising £3billion to invest on infrastructure build because OFGEM said NG shareholders should take a hit! In which case, sharesave holders closed their option took the cash, bought shares in the open market at a new lower price than the original option price and then took out the next sharesave with a lower option price. The same happened to bank employees when the bank crisis was at its peak. Shares from £9+ was reduced to approx £1. Many bank staff cashed in their sharesave, took the money saved and waited for the next sharesave issue which was at a much new lower price. I believe the next sharesave option price will be issued in Dec / Jan for 1st April 2018?????

20:36		utyinv: PO, I think you miss my point. Pre referendum National Grid value X. Post referendum National Grid worth X no change intrinsically, but the share price in GBP post referendum has gone up to reflect the drop in the value of the GBP worldwide, ie, 20%. Sure if you sold Grid at £11.30p and bought something from the UK you would benefit but if you bought something outside the UK you would be no better off than before the referendum. 30%+ of NG income comes from the US with a US$ income that is exchanged back into UK Sterling (in simple terms). I spoke to Bonfield (CFO) in July when the share price jumped almost overnight to £11.30 and commented that the share price jumping to £11.30 was only a result of the drop in the GBP and euforia shouldn't let us run away with ourselves and he agreed. NG has yet to be valued correctly and a pre referendum share price, based on money spent on increasing our assets by £5billion / yr should have raised the share price to £13/share. National Grid is one of a very few Companies that are expanding and spending real money improving and building asset base and the share price has not IMO kept pace with build. I dont have to explain the significance of an increasing asset base to you as I know you are aware how National Grid gets its income. I also expect a boost in share price especially when the City realise and 'clocks' what's on the horizon with the gas distn sale. My forecast, IMO! Distn business worth £11 billion sale of 51% gives a return of £5.6 billion, take pro rata debt off and a possible share buy back ( an option floated at the AGM to try and keep the share value up post sale) would leave £2.9 billion to be returned to shareholders. With 3.7 billion shares in circ this may realise a special divi of 78p.
