So TEP are to fit Smart Meters.

Jon Snow.....you know nothing

Do they laugh Lennonslave?

I am laughing all the way to the bank since listening to myself and banking my 100% profits in TEP when I sold out at 1700p then reinvested the majority in Taylor Wimpey at sub 110p which in recent times I have banked a little bit of profit there in selling some at 200p.

You just haven't got to be greedy at times which many who remain invested here did when they could have cashed in at 1900p +

I don't laugh at that because it is quite sad really.

TEP will have no problem with smart meters and will deal with it in their own time. Plenty of operators who will fit and systems for them. Your desperate to try and prove how you know everything about TEP, but really talk a load of bull.

Do you know people laugh about what you write!

[psmith1964] 13/3/2016 00:02

Nothing surprises me with the way this is going.

I did send out research backed warnings a while back but many chose to ignore.

Oh well you can only try and help people.

I believe you haven't seen the bottom yet. I would be extremely worried about Smart Meters right now as we have yet to hear how they are going to deal with this and what the costs will be. They seem to have glossed over this to date.

Does anyone know if they have started to roll them out yet ?It should be a question investors should be asking.

I 'm not so sure. I still think there is an outside chance that TEP with its award winning customer service might try and take on a chunk of Npower customers. I repeat- an outside chance.

[bigbob6] 09/3/2016 18:47

Naa , years of bad customer service has taken it's toll it seems RWE have not been able to pass on German efficiency and customer support to the legacy Midlands Electricity Board staff the Brummies mentality and Germanic bosses have obviously been unable to find common ground .

The repeated fines and customer losses have taken thier toll and I guess the parent company have finally had enough maybe the job losses will be the kick in the pants that finally hits home with those that are left with jobs after everything else appears to have failed .

To be fair the company was hit by legacy dirty and hard to run power stations which wouldnt have initially been apparent on purchase as clean energy wasnt even a thought back then. They must be looking back to the start of deregulation when everything looked rosey and they were going great guns aquiring several of the new alternative suppliers who ended up bankrupt as many of todays new entrants will as they just dont have the type of sticky customers that will see you through a tough time

Anyone else get the feeling that N power might have decided to concentrate on upstream while letting TEP and others handle the retail sales and customer service ?

[wanttowin] 25/2/2016 16:01

Had enough of this one can't even go up on a good day,taken the loss and chucked it all into RMV.

Wish this share price would move on !

[jimbo55] 23/2/2016 13:52

Agreed. Time to move on.

[gleach23] 23/2/2016 13:41

Just did a 30sec jimbo and it's there...but please let's draw a line as it's not adding anything to the board

[jimbo55] 23/2/2016 13:19

Just grinning wryly to myself at that last post. Given what looks to have started to come out in the wash via Shareprophets, I have no interest at all in buying back in here. Doubt I'll ever own TEP again to be frank.

Agree there is an easy way to check when I've posted, but it's time consuming and I really cannot be bothered as I'm trying to be across too much right now. However gleach, just for you I've wasted the last 10 minutes trying to trawl posts from July and August 2014. I can't find anything I posted in July 2014 - be sure to send me the post number if you can. However, I did find my post 3757 from October 2014 which suggested caution related to a likely head and shoulders top playing out, along with the shares being in a downtrend. This was pretty much a timely warning from what I can see. Cheers.

[muffster] 23/2/2016 07:38

He just wants to buy back lower. Good tactic Jim, sell then post negatives

[gleach23] 22/2/2016 22:24

Jimbo55...if you can't recall there's an easy way to look it up on the thread.

Since you announced that you sold in Mar 13 you have posted around 25 times over the months of Apr 13, Jul 14, Oct 14, Nov 14, Dec 14, Jan 15, Feb 15, Mar 15 and Apr 15.

As I said above they are all bearish and you have been advising caution almost every time.

Not that there's anything wrong with that of course but I've been reading the thread for a few years and have picked up on your theme. That's why I was curious as to your current stance as an ex-holder who appears to have become bearish in rather a persistent way.

[napoleon 14th] 22/2/2016 11:33

Ex-holder just watching. Agreed, £8 seems to bo the floor here,
but where is future growth gonna come from?

[gleach23] 18/2/2016 17:16

Thanks for the reply and good luck with your TA quest.

Having taken a little time to look at your posts, they have been bearish since you sold with the odd 'RSI suggests oversold, could be a short term bounce' comment to punctuate things. Since then they've been up to nearly £19 and down to £7.50-odd.

fwiw...on a far more basic level that involves merely staring at the bottom chart above I'm taking £8 to be support currently.

[jimbo55] 18/2/2016 13:40

Indeed I did sell out, and I sold out too early. I've become a lot more educated on basic technical analysis in the years since I made that mistake and would be unlikely to repeat it now. However, I had no emotive sense of regret at selling too early, as I'd made almost 400% at the time. I try to keep emotion out of investing/trading as it usually leads to bad choices.

Only motivation for posting is interest in the chart technicals and where the company goes from here. Also, if you take the time to compare my posts last year to what happened shortly after them, you'll see they were pretty much spot on. I don't claim to get everything right all the time, but definitely did so with last year's downtrend. Right now, the chart is not pretty and it's kind of a personal mental challenge to try to figure out where things could go from here.

I'm not short and not currently living in a locale from which I could short TEP. Right now, my view of the stock is largely neutral, but if they are borrowing to maintain the dividend, that is neither prudent nor sensible and is not a good sign. I must admit I was interested in re-entering as a potential value play, but it seems the fundamentals are now starting to deteriorate, so I'm out but just an interested watcher. Not watching daily but looking in every week or two.

[gleach23] 17/2/2016 14:09

Jimbo...I've noticed you are an ex holder who sold out in 2013 around £10? You now seem to follow-up down legs with bearish comments, despite the fact that we can be trading up to 20% lower than the price you sold at.

I'd be interested in your current stance here. Are you short, hoping for a lower re-entry point, or has your view of the stock just overturned?

TIA

[jimbo55] 17/2/2016 13:40

Daily moves are meaningless within the context of the overall trend, and that is currently downwards. However, according to the following chart, I reckon this has got the potential to get to £9.50 per share before it stalls out and resumes the next leg down...

Well TEP is up 68p since TW's tweet. Might be worth retweeting, let's see if we can get closer to 900p.

[jimbo55] 16/2/2016 21:45

Globo, Worthington, Geong, Naibu, plus any number of other dodgy AIM-listed Chinese companies. Also warned of placings at times of increased PR activity and warned plenty of people out of naff stocks such as MTV and Monitise...

[melody9999] 16/2/2016 20:00

TW worth keeping an eye on - after all he rubbishes some quality companies such as BOO and TRAK who were already in my portfolio .... he makes money by shorting them in advance of his publications; a counter strategy is to buy when his publication has done the damage.

TEP is another quality company and TW will move on....worth asking when he has bought back his short though.

For holders its painful in the short term .... but if you believe in the company then just treat it as noise. The dip in BOO was short term and I expect the same in TRAK once overall markets stabilise.

[herewegouk] 16/2/2016 13:57

How many other examples in the past two years ? Other than Quindell ?
