Well done Skinny

I appear to have bought some more @1396.50p

Good move to close yesterday. ;)

The BofE meeting this week may give some short term direction to the share if yield expectations change? I have a 1400 option position expiring Friday so will need watching.

edit: decided to close out for the pennies. Don't be too greedy!

Rise at the end as long bond yields dipped. Yield curves are getting flat again. Yield stocks should be rising at the expense of growth.

[alphorn] 06/9/2017 16:11

Extended long position this afternoon.

Come on baby

sp is only this low as div not sustainable. yield over 6% is crazy. share price rise or divi cut.

SSE revealed as most profit-hungry of Big Six as margins climb for a third year


SSE has been hardest hit by the exodus of customers away from incumbent suppliers onto cheaper deals. Its share of the electricity market has fallen 5 percentage points from 15pc in 2011 to 10pc today.

Despite the losses SSE's dividend has grown every year since 1992, a policy which analysts at Hargreaves Landsdowne have said may be unsustainable.

“The group has relied on asset disposals, debt, and share issuance to prop up the payout. Clearly this can't go on forever,” the analysts said.

thats a long term view!

As we get nervous about more regulation in the supply market , I was wondering how the whole sector will be affected by ambitious electric vehicle plans. Although the timescale is long , effectively the electricity demand is extra to the current supply.
Millions of electric vehicles will need an awful lot of electrical energy , and as well as the huge infrastructure requirements , there will be a lot of extra Joules needed.
Won't help SSE if it does get re-nationalised , but it is a thought in the long term both on the supply and generation sides. This is going to get bigger....

hope we hold onto this!

1500 is my exit point. Hopegully by mid sept.

[bountyhunter] 16/8/2017 18:16

more like exponential than a straight line today :)

[strutt12] 16/8/2017 16:26

Here's hoping it doesn't go up in a straight line ;-)

[spirito] 16/8/2017 09:21

slow creep to 1500?

[mach100] 14/8/2017 23:02

You still give out good advice Wad. A good bounce today for SSE which partly claws back the fall after going ex divi. It will hopefully get back to 1500p plus in short order. A dividend cut could be possible in 2021 but unless there is some regulatory intervention it is safe enough until then.

[wad collector] 14/8/2017 21:28

No, I am a rubbish investor , I lose money hand over fist , the name is ironic. Just do the opposite to anything I suggest.

[mach100] 14/8/2017 15:14

But ...this is pretty core holding if you want long term growth and good income , but not if you want to double your money this yr!

That has to be the best advice I have ever heard from a wad collector. I can see how you got your name, good sir! Just don't collect my wad! Joules this collector guy is bang on the money.

[wad collector] 14/8/2017 15:06

Obviously your portfolio decisions depend on lots of factors inc mix , risk attitudes , investment goals.

Really, 751? Maybe, wad, if I'd done more research and less posting I wouldn't've lost money in a bull market! :-/ Thanks for the opinions folks...

[wad collector] 14/8/2017 12:38

Runthejoules you claim to be a rank amateur yet you have made 751 postings?

[spirito] 14/8/2017 10:45
