Spread the rumour!

[redartbmud] 26/6/2013 16:21

I understand that there is a mild rumour that the failed bidders for Severn Trent might run the slide rule over Uu.

[jormes] 26/6/2013 15:55

This does look oversold recently. Good trading buy, should get over 700p in the short-term.

[philo124] 25/6/2013 08:48

Bought in for 1st time.

[nw99] 24/6/2013 16:28

Bought in here Killick upgraded to trading buy today

[wad collector] 24/6/2013 08:37

Added at 653 ; a pair trade with my SSE holding. Hadn't completed this pair for months.

Bizarre drop . One more rumour of a bid and it will be bouncing up towards £8 again.

The fears of Ofwat showing some teeth is making some analysts downgrade their UU forecasts, so the share price plunges.

To my thinking , this is not news. It is just a restatement of the same old fears that have kept UU as a good value equity. Brokers are trying to justify their pay, and it becomes self fulfilling if enough of them repeat it.
If someone wants to sell into this "news" then I am happy to buy.
More of a worry is if someone sees this as a time to buy the whole company cheaply. I don't think they have dawn raids any more.

Added at 680 and set limit buy for 675 ; won't lose sleep over this one.

[wad collector] 19/6/2013 08:35

Back in for a small profit on my trading stake at 735.Probably should just sit on this one though , not trade.

[wad collector] 06/6/2013 17:03

My finger is creeping towards the buyback button.

[wstirrup] 30/5/2013 11:40

Some interesting developments on the inside though, should hopefully yield results later in the year.

Just read something on the BBC News website about a tax change that will stop utility companies from claiming capital allowances on expenditure already paid for by their business customers. Apparently allowances of c.£50m have been claimed since January. May partly account for today's fall?

[claretmatt] 29/5/2013 22:22

Ex-divi date is 19th june. Just a bad day. Supposidly money gone elsewhere. U.S. Bonds

[saltaire111] 29/5/2013 22:13

The 4 per cent drop today - was it ex divi date?

Cheers.

Looking at First grps dash for cash yesterday and other recent examples it tends to concentrate the mind on others who have large debt and high payouts , we have been caught here once before , what is the likelyhood of another div cut?

[alan@bj] 20/5/2013 11:05

Lifted from "neutral" to "buy" by Goldman Sachs

[wad collector] 14/5/2013 09:48

I just sold most of my holding for 770p. It may turn out to be an error , but there have been so many false bid rumours here that I am taking the risk. It is not a high yielder any longer at this price , so time to take an exit and buy back when the froth settles?

[wad collector] 14/5/2013 08:10

Ceiling broken by Severn Trent bid rumours , currently 775p.
