LM, why not explain the full story? Are you getting desparate or something?

The directors were awarded shares for meeting performance criteria (perfectly normal). The one I looked at - Russ Houlden (i suspect the other directors are the same, perhaps you could confirm)- sold enough shares to cover the tax liablilty on the shares he had been awarded (perfectly normal and usual). He started the day with 72,700 shares, and ended it with 111,157 and no further tax liability. Sorry if you are short and suffering, but even if you are, I think you should try to post the full story behind the bare facts, even if they don't support your view.

But where is the bottom?

This share moves within a range with little variation within the range, providing that there is nothing to frighten the horses. I think it tried to move out of the previous trading range last year around April May. It made another attempt this year and the "break out" occurred. Now the interesting point is £7:50 the new base line £8:00 or around £8:50 ready for another break out.

You pays your money and makes your choice. In the meantime keep collecting the divi.

Looks like the top

Hard to assess the impact of the OFWAT squeeze on the future earnings with so many varables. The household bill fall clearly is politically desireable ,much anticipated and therefore discounted in the share price
But how the expenses will change over the next 5 yrs cannot be known , only guessed.
I suspect the increased certainty of the price changes does , at least , make a bid more likely.

"Average household bills fall by a further 0.6% to 2.3% in real terms over 2015-20 period"


Hmm could've sworn I put a link in here but it's seemingly vanished.

Best to read the RNS if one has the time.

Looking good for another assault on 900. Seems to have taken the ex.div in its stride.

Any one interested in making as much money as you want for only £1000000

I think so.

Options expiry this Friday which may move the price around a bit if people are closing or rolling positions.

[wad collector] 18/6/2014 12:56

I think he took your comment literally .

[alphorn] 18/6/2014 12:12

.....and 8p is a significant move? ;-)))

[bastide] 18/6/2014 11:58

Alphorne

It is down 30p and the dividend is 24p, so it's down 8p. Quite easy to work out really

[alphorn] 18/6/2014 09:51

How exactly did you work that out?!!! It has gone xd today.

[ohwhat] 18/6/2014 09:39

Took a big hit this morning now down 32p Wish I had some spare cash.

[jcxjr100] 14/6/2014 11:33
