Isn't anyone bothered about the complete blackout of news from Centrica? There is supposed to be a trading update in November but cannot find one scheduled. Have they said they will stop doing one? Where is investors relations hiding?

Tom,

Get back to your lego please. It sounds like you shouldn't be trading the markets with comments like that. Leave it to the grown ups please

sipping of course not shipping (autocorrect)

I am not sure about how science exactly works Tom but I just heard it on the radio just now James O'Brien show you'd be pleased (remainer like you and I) that the AZN vaccine is 90% effective. Low dose first followed by higher. Happy now?
Also since this vaccine is cheaper and can be put in your fridge it will be THE vaccine of choice.
Now can we get back to your ITV predictions I was rather enjoying those. The odd damage reading your posts while shipping on my European coffee but I learned not to do that anymore

Probably because there are more people like you rather than like me who read past the first sentence of an announcementent. The AZN vaccine can be 90% effective if you start with low dose first followed by 2nd dose a month later. It is also cheaper and more importantly can be stored in your fridge not a special one that costs another 5K on top.

Hey Tom

Clearly you are not a doctor as well are you? 70% efficacy is more than enough. Flu vaccinations are 67% effective (real-word) on average.

Topped up too at 92 and 91 and change - The GS game is too obvious now. Low vols today too

BARCLAYS RAISES ITV PRICE TARGET TO 100 (80) PENCE - 'EQUAL WEIGHT'

Ever heard of buy the rumour sell the fact? What you say maybe true but at the moment we are beginning to ride the crest of a wave - The realisation that vaccination is going to take time will come in later. In the meantime we are winning and you seem to be a very sore looser!

What a comedian you are Tom. Your consistency is phenomenal. Every time I look at what you say/predict and do exactly the opposite. Like a broken clock you might be twice correct in a year but for the time being I would focus on Shell. If as you say the lockdown persists Shell are going to be impacted negatively.

Isn't Centrica supposed to be providing a trading update during the last 2 weeks of November? I see no information on their website as to this event. Does anyone know why that is?

If you wanted re-assurance about the dividend there is no better statement from the CEO and also the CFO.

CEO said "We are firmly committed to our updated financial frame, including the dividend - the first call on our funds."

It is on the verge of a breakout again - just the general market conditions holding it back. Otherwise future looks good

Oh Dear this didn't age well at all! Stop making a fool of yourself
Retail sales outperform!

Perhaps it is to do with sales automation they introduced some time ago.

Hey Nige
It must be in the name. I remember another Tom with an E at the end. Surely it cant be the same person now. Haha

For someone with a day job and mouths to feed you certainly have a lot of spare time in your hands...
May I suggest you post on boards for which you hold shares and see if you can get better in research? I have looked for you on the Shell board but your absence is puzzling. Come there and let's talk about the wisdom of your investment.

Dude you sound like an IUKD, CTY type of investor. What are you doing here? Play it safe and let us know if you beat the FTSE in a year's time...

JPMORGAN RAISES KINGFISHER PRICE TARGET TO 230 (180) PENCE - 'UNDERWEIGHT'

I do wonder sometimes....

I was expecting everyone to be singing ITV's praises this morning but eerily quiet. I guess everyone's busy selling the 72p target. We'll see how many are left, including the cryptic meg on this board
