The top people in Centrica always put the blame on everything except themselves. The need to take a step back look what they have done to the companies value and dividend payment. Then walk away and disappear from the company and it might have a small chance
Yes perfect storm but also very poor management stripping selling the assets like the wind farms. The chairman’s gone sick and the ceo is counting his days down. These 2 positions need to have the right appointments and focus then getting the business direction going the right way. The annual statement says hive trv sales up wow this company will never make big bucks from technology
Hi just read professor Ian Jones and what he says about the virus. He knows more than I do about the virus so I’m happy with my situation. The only thing I’m not happy about is the battering the markets have taken over the last 2 weeks
Hi I’m in Shanghai now and I have no concerns about it that’s the main thing. I would also never leave my missus or my step son it just gives her confidence. There are worse virus in the world and if we stop for everything life would be boring. You just need to look at who are badly affected by this in China. The healthy and fir do get the virus but none of these have died. I could have flown back to England but I so no point in it
Hi they think they have around 6000 confirmed cases just waiting for 10000test results. They have also closed Shanghai down for an extra 9 days for all workers except the emergency services plus anyone who works in pharmaceutical or the bio tech industries. The reason for this is they now have 8 cases in a city of over 28 million people. Yes I do know because my second home is in Shanghai along with our business. So please do not think it’s over the Chinese government has extended the holiday period and they are blocking social media reports on the outbreak so we might not have the true picture
Hi ScandiExpat I’m not sure whether you are talking about Lloyd’s bank when you mentioned the private banking sector. Lloyd’s does have a private banking sector and Schroders manage all the funds for this part of Lloyd’s bank after they binned Scottish widows.
Hi Greggs started the trial this year on opening stores late in some of the bigger cities. It’s proved a real success so they are expanding it because a lot of people are calling I’m for pasties after a night out.
Yes I have a gold plated pension rom Centrica but I did work for 30 years no sickness and over 60 hours a week. I’m not retired I’m in business with my missus in China and we have over 5500 employees. I also invest in the stock markets here and in Shanghai so I have just not rested on my laurels. Also I did put 9% of my salary into the pension scheme but life’s good for me. I always hope people make decent returns from the StockMarkets because that’s what we invest for. I hope u are doing well from your investments Taverhan. We sometimes cannot control any loses because other things happen outside our control.
I would be happy to make my money back without any dividend payments. My best dividend payment comes from RDSB shares just under 8.5% because of the price I paid and just under 50% growth in capital. The sad part about this is that I was a senior manager with Centrica until I walked away 11 years ago .
Hi it’s not the dividend that cost me the most it’s the 200k in value down. Any CEO who drops the dividend return normally gets the chop in the business world. Mr Conn has cut the dividend returns more than the normal. When he was appointed CEO the share price was well over £3 a share I do not want to look at the actual price but it was higher than this. The one saving grace he is only in position for another 4 months. Then it will all depend on who Centrica manage to find and appoints.
Wow really the country will be bankrupt under any labour government. Mac Donald announces they will try and delisted companies from the FTSE stock exchanges . They will just resist on the other exchanges then the government will lose out on even more revenue. Yes the Chinese students are just trying to keep their rights agreed between China and the UK.
