PNN went up yesterday ahead of today's positive results and is up again when I last looked. I hope the same happens with UU.

Tomorrow we have Finals for both UU. and QQ.


Good luck with the trades!!!

Nothing visible to me , the brokers seem to have reduced their 2017 profit estimates FWIW. I wonder if the share price is going to breach the £10 mark that has been eluded for a year? My profit taking hunch is getting stronger , with the hope of a buy back before it goes Xd again .

Apart from a non-executive director standing down today,,,,, is there any other reason for today's rise?

The trader in me is beginning to sniff the air for another exit point as it moves to 962 as a 4 month high.

My core holding is one I bought a while ago. I have traded occasionally, in comparison to Severn Trent that I have traded a number of times.
both have had the occasional pop on bid rumours that surface every now and then.

Sure. I buy and hold the usual suspects and particularly US stocks which I've built up to 33% of my SIPP.

Thanks , though I remember once concluding that over the previous 20 yrs my best portfolio strategy would have been to buy exclusively UU and hold them. Not sure that is so true in last few yrs .

Sold those at 968 ; as you say has become a bit of a sawtooth.

Whatever.
I see a trading out point soon here ; 965 will do me.

Still a great percentage return at this price, a boring investment but about as solid as you can get in the market. Far better than sticking it in the building society and for minimal risk.

You will have to wait until late June to go Xd again.
I just noticed the Trading Update yesterday ; in line but bear in mind the expectations are down a bit.

That goes for all companies these days - maybe it's more explicit with the regulated ones. As well as more or less directtly controlling the profits of all psuedo-monopolistic companies via regulation, the gov also ensures they won't go bust. A tory gov seems to allow extremely generous shareholder returns (as you would expect), and nulab tony crony seemed to allow extremely generous returns - perhaps a true lab gov wouldn't, but they don't exist anymore. The price of course is more or less free market ish, and will vary as the city churns by the billion to cream off their 1.6% commission.

RedartbutWhat absolute nonsense you write. Free market! Tell me what choice is there for you to get water out of your tap. All water companies hold a monopolistic market share and, in those circumstances any responsible government will control the economics of the situation. As such the stock is a strong defensive holding but you are not going to make a fortune.

So much for a free market. Another attempt to create a off balance sheet Government asset at the expense of the shareholder.
Disgraceful.

”Ofwat's 'Water 2020' plans credit negative for UK water sector, Moody's says

Changes proposed by the UK regulator for water and sewerage companies in England and Wales - Ofwat - in its approach for the 2019 consumer price review would, if implemented, be credit negative for the sector, according to Moody's.

Furthermore, Ofwat proposes to replace Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation with the lower Consumer Prices Index (CPI) measure of inflation as the benchmark for tariff increases

"Individually, the proposals would be unlikely to have a significant negative impact over the medium term. However, we believe that, taken together, the proposed changes would decrease the stability and predictability of cash flows for the water and sewerage companies over the medium to long-term, which will be credit negative."

If the markets do indeed continue to fall then utilities may attract attention again?

isn't this a share that you either hold long term for a divvy stream or you play / trade the high and low range?

Depends what you bought with the money. Most of my shares graphs look pretty similar to uu over the last week or two.

If you sold 10k worth at 10 quid, and bought something else, then a couple of weeks later the pride of missing out on a 1k notonal 'loss' from uu may be tempered by a real 1.5k loss on whatever you bought.
