Never mind £16 ; I won't part with mine for less than £18.

[lord gnome] 30/10/2014 18:16

Given the way that Wall Street is powering ahead this evening, I think we might just see £16 quicker than I thought. Bring it on!

[zcaprd7] 30/10/2014 15:52

Pushing for £16. Don't think the Scottish vote has unwound itself here either...

No, but the pressure on them ,or their successors , mounts. They keep ignoring it , and looking for winning some votes by cutting prices , but ultimately they will have to face it.

I see IC has SSE as a Sell last week , citing regulatory uncertainties and dividend sustainability. A reasonable point of view , if it was not discounted already....

Do you have any faith in the will, or the ability, of the current crop of politicians to apply common sense to the subject?

[wad collector] 29/10/2014 15:51

There has been some highlighting of supply issues on the Grid again this weekend ; this puts more pressure on the politicians to support the industry. Good for SSE share price I think.

SSE plc today (1 October) agreed the sale of its Hampshire data centre to SCC, for a total consideration estimated to be £12 million, subject to capital adjustment and provision of transition services for a period of three months.

I don't think there is any mention of that in the link above - the main point that will potentially affect our buying/selling strategies is :-

"As a result of the move to T+2 settlement market participants are also reminded
that Ex Dividend dates will move to Thursdays with Record dates remaining as
Fridays. "

[redartbmud] 29/9/2014 16:28

The end of paper certificates?

[skinny] 29/9/2014 16:15

Just a reminder - T2 is coming in from 6th October :- .

Many thanks Skinny, I always thought it was at close on the quoted date, but Ive never known Halifax to get it wrong, so far anyway!

[skinny] 29/9/2014 15:57

You had to have bought before the close on Tuesday 22nd to have been eligible for the dividend.



Zcaprd7 - A couple of and possibly reinvestment of dividends?

[stpalm] 29/9/2014 15:48

Hi guys, i bought on 23rd july, as far as i was aware xd was at close of business on 23rd july but just checked and found no div payment. So should i have received it?

[zcaprd7] 24/9/2014 14:38

Large volume a few days ago. What was that?

[wad collector] 23/9/2014 11:58

In comparison with the water industry , I think the electricity sector holds a significant ace up it's sleeve.
Any Government cannot afford to let the supply fail. They need continuing investment in an ageing and tenous network , they cannot afford to risk disinvestment from a private sector. They need to keep the supply and grid companies happy enough to continue risking further investment.
So their room to squeeze the sector further is limited. Re-nationalisation is unthinkable to any but deluded lefties. So a bright future remains here by my reading. I hold a fair number of SSE , but would happily pick up some more if there is further weakness.

red / gbb in the political sense I agree entirely. There will be major changes and I predict some major political fallout to go with them. Only English MPs should be voting on English matters. More devolution all round, please. Perhaps we might actually get a bit of localism at long last. Why should the Scots have all the fun.

Things have to change. There are too many people who will not forget the promises given by the triumvirate of fear.

[gbb483] 19/9/2014 10:28

It's never "business as usual" : there is nothing permanent except change.

[redartbmud] 19/9/2014 08:18

LG

It will never be business as usual again. things have changed fundamentally in the Government/Political arena.

Thank you Scotland. Business as normal.

Price going up just in time to buy with my dividend!
Does it every time.

[pumph] 18/9/2014 13:53

The price is remarkably resilient considering the potentially seismic goings-on today. For goodness sake, the R&A might vote to let women in !

[harvester] 17/9/2014 23:03

Maybe it will be a hung result with ten recounts so we don't know the results till Monday since a ballot box can't be collected from an outer
Hebredean island ! lol Just joking . Heaven forbid .
