I said I thought it would bounce from 1400 when we descended to that level but this is some bounce! :-)

wad

I dropped my second tranche at £15.47 and bits. A bird in the hand.....

I share your greed and your impatience ; just set another limit sell for 1561. I like these but have too many.

[chilly_ho] 23/5/2017 15:18

I don't want to wait :) However, see it closing above 1550 today maybe look to sell tomorrow..

[wad collector] 23/5/2017 15:09

Depends how long you are prepared to wait. And what political games get played. It is still sitting pretty much in the middle of the last 4 yrs trading range . It could be argued that an exit at an ATH in the FTSE100 cannot be a bad place to leave, but....

[chilly_ho] 23/5/2017 14:54

I'm still holding from 1397.85..surely 1550 is max?

[wad collector] 23/5/2017 12:29

My `1508 sell not looking so clever today ; just as well I have lots more. Not sure you have just been drinking cherry coke yesterday ; suspect something more potent.
The market surprises me with its strength despite electoral uncertainty. A big tory majority is likely but not a given.

I love this job hehe. Expecting downside volatility back to half the current gain from low?. Gla, suns shining, got a six pack of cherry coke and M&S lamb hotpot. By the way Berkshire Hathaway is 1.37 book at the moment and at yearly low up from 120 at 1.3 to 163 on the class B's. I wish I was in last year as buffet apple stake is up 40% and he needs to spend 30 billion soon hehe

Well done fellas.

Macquarie Outperform 1,496.50 1,735.00 1,735.00 Retains

[bountyhunter] 19/5/2017 13:31

looks like you hit the peak for now, well done!

[wad collector] 19/5/2017 11:07

Got my 1508 , I do suspect more share price volatility ahead with election but anyone's guess where it is going.

[bountyhunter] 18/5/2017 21:11

nice U-turn from 1400 which is a level we were discussing not so long ago; glad I didn't go away and sell this one in May :-)

[wipo1] 18/5/2017 17:48

Well done strutt that's a very nice profit :)

[wipo1] 18/5/2017 17:42

Yeah another small scalp for me.

[strutt12] 18/5/2017 16:27

Didn't expect to be 10,000 shares lighter today. ;-0

[wad collector] 18/5/2017 13:32

Time to unload last month's buy I think . Just give me few more pence 1508?

SSE dividend under threat, says Jefferies -

Dividend sustainability is under threat at energy provider SSE (SSE) due to regulatory intervention in the UK, says Jefferies.

Analyst Ahmed Farman retained his ‘hold’ recommendation and target price of £14.00 on the stock, which was trading up 0.7%, or 10p, at £14.61 at the time of writing.

‘Full-year 2016/17 reported earnings per share was 125.75p, slightly ahead of the 122-125p range given at the pre-close update. In full-year 2017/18, SSE expects to continue to increase dividend per share by the retail prices index, with a dividend cover to the lower end of the range,’ he said.

‘[The] update suggests to us that SSE is unlikely to be able to maintain its dividend cover in the case of further punitive regulatory intervention in the UK. In such a case, the sustainability of SSE’s dividend will increasingly come into question.’

He added that the company had invested at ‘record levels’ over the past few years ‘in order to stand still from a profit perspective’ and with headwinds such as low power prices, it was becoming tougher to maintain the dividend.

Steady as it goes. Struggling to keep annual divi increases going as well as adequate divi cover. Overshadowed by political uncertainty.
The fear of blackouts will restrain government interference.
Steady income earner with not much up or downside.

[bountyhunter] 17/5/2017 11:48

wad, I suspect that Diane Abbott will clarify the costings pretty soon ;~)

[garycook] 17/5/2017 10:00

Wad,Ha Ha Ha.

[wad collector] 17/5/2017 09:53

As you say .
I suspect the sector response is a bit muted as all these profit figures are irrelevant once the mighty Labour party has seized back the sector and offered £1 a share compensation.

Actually I made up the last bit. They haven't fully costed it...

[garycook] 17/5/2017 07:47

Nice solid results with EPS increased to 125p,and a 2.2 % increase in the Divi to 91.3p.SP should slowly improve to 1650p in time.Also dividend increase inline with RPI,so by 2020.The Divi will be nearing £1 per Share.A great core holding for any Portfolio,and a 6.3% yield atm.Will the Market like the results thats another matter,but IMHO positive.

Lovely dividend - keep them coming.
