Extended my long position this morning using options. 1350 will be breakeven.

Brought a few more yesterday afternoon @ 1453 not many buy a the bottom or sell at the top. Long term happy with that + 6.5% divi. Red I think the marx brother's will destroy themselves. Next election campaign will be quite different front the last. 2 years time is my guess.

Lot of investment planned for next year, but divi policy kept.

Prospects for the Marx Brothers, Corbyn and McDonnell, don't help.

Also I understand that company is not bullish about 2018 profit guidance

The price was weak for a few days last week, and again today, because that is when gilt yields rose. SSE's yield is influenced by the competitive effect of gilt yields.

It is given up recent games from 13.75 upward move to 15.00 ++

Bonkers, you get market moves, sector moves and individual share price moves. Mostly people only talk about the individual share price. But if the market is down, the share price is likely to be down, and if the sector becomes out of favour, or in favour, then the price will change then too - all with the individual company prospects staying the same.

Your guess is as good as anyone elses as to why the price goes up and down. I'd say high divi lower risk shares have been out of favour recently due to the possibilty of higher interest rates.

Bountyhunter,

So any thoughts, also with the pending dividend, on why the price weakness last couple of days, albeit relatively slight?

Likely price drop on x-dividend date?

[action] 05/7/2017 19:50

More it goes down it is better top up opportunity

[bountyhunter] 05/7/2017 17:36

unlike NG. SSE will be repurchasing shares for cancellation (from tomorrow until 31 August '17)

[veryniceperson] 05/7/2017 12:39

Getting cheaper!!!!!

[veryniceperson] 05/7/2017 10:11

Bonkers your certainly not. Good dividend, share buy back for cancellation, what's not to like. May add a few to my holding later today.

[bonkers3] 04/7/2017 21:49

Not an expert investor by any means but with the pending dividend and recent reduced political risk, say for the next 12 months or so, would seem current price is quite a good bet. Hence in for a few more myself thank you very much.

In now .Will buy more if goes down

[strutt12] 30/6/2017 15:44

[wad collector] 30/6/2017 15:12

I'm waiting to pick some more up , 1450 will do me , ahead of hefty divi in a month.

[bonkers3] 30/6/2017 15:08

Action,
Appreciate your question!
But don't know the answer.
If you have an opinion would be good to hear it.

[action] 30/6/2017 13:53

Bonkers3 Is it time.e to buy or wait till dow to open?

[action] 29/6/2017 21:53

Bonkers3 This one has tendancy to go as low as 1438 in the past apart from price cap conservative manifesto when it drop to 1400and below up to 1380 appx.Another thing i heard on tv that people r buying 20 yrs bond with yield of 2.2%. As tax bill might not pass as early as market anticipated.

[bonkers3] 29/6/2017 19:04

30 year gilt yield has risen 10% in the last two days - 1.66% to 1.83%. Yield assets are realigning capital values to match.
