I have a diversified portfolio and hold, GSK, JNJ, NVS and also AZN in the pharma sector. I will be selling AZN on Monday after its mad trun from September - October 2011 when i bought at 2755p. I intend to to strt a new position in SSE. So far JNJ & NVS are outperforming the Pharma sector. Dividends arent everything are they! You need to think about fundamentals, but with new CEO from Roche, I believe over the next 3-5years AZNM may grow back to a better comapny, if they arent gobbled up. I believe that AZN could be a takeover target if they dont buy SHIRE, though at £30, the CEO needs his head looked at...lol

As i have pointed out, SSE has the cheaper P/E in the Utilities sector due to some major factors [ DYOR ] On the research page through 4-traders, you can see the falling Earnings Per Share [ EPS ]. This is possibly due to milder weather that we in the UK are experiencing , thus not having to have heating on as long as we used to...Just my own opinion. http://www.4-traders.com/SSE-PLC-4000881/?type_recherche=rapide&mots=SSE

I have posted a link to show investors that SSE will continue to outperform the FTSE100 over 5 & 10+years. i cant post the link as it uses google tools and would not show the graph comparing the stocks versus the FTSE. Here is what I found; SSE beat the FTSE100 by 4.25% over 5years SSE beat the FTSE by 62% over 10+years If you wish to see the graphs that I have compiled, email me at auzscottgoldie@gmail.com

Further, I do believe trades at a discount now to earnings to sector. The Times states it trades this year on 11.6, opposed to sector of 17. The lower the number stipulates that there earnings are lower to the current share price. Though, a higher number can show that they are very strong, but also that there is more likelyhood that the shareprice will come under pressure, as investors may look at cheaper shares to earnings ( lower P/E). There is a book called Investing for Dummies. Have a look out for it in WHsmiths or Waterstones. No pun intended!

Regarding the comments that HilHames posted on Thursday regarding brokers views. 1. You don't go on what brokers say ( a buy is seen as a sell, a sell is seen in a buy, and a neutral is no idea ). 2. SSE is a defensive company as it plays into the seasonal changes in households utilities. 3. SSE pays a dividend that is above the market average of 3.75%, thus this share will NOT fall over the cliff if economy gets bad. Thus you are NOT GOING to get Rich by investing in this. It just helps give you a steady line of income. I hold both National Grid & Centrica and maybe I may invest a large chunk here in2nd quarter of year. 4. Think fundamentals; with growing population the siZe of SSE will keep growing, due to changes in unusual seasonal weather changes that we're now experiencing in 21st century. On first point, brokers can manipulate share price ( in a legal way ) for their own benefit so that they are seen as giving possitive views ( on short term or long-term prospects ). I could say so much more... DYOR. Scott I hold 35 stocks in a diversified, which is heavier in investment funds like BNY Mellon Global High Income, Alliance Trust, Foreign & Colonial Trust, Murray International and also industrals ( GE, BAEsystems, Siemens ).

BATS has past it's 50week Moving Average, only a week ago. This has triggered a buy frenzy... Could hit 3500p? I have interests in IMT ( at 1975p ).

I have compard the sectors peers over 10years +,[ SSE, CNA, PNN, UU & NG ],and the best one that is outperforming is ....CNA by far [ +150% ] SSE [ up 143% ], UU down 9.85%, NG is a steady Eddy up 21.5% PNN down 46.5%. Pennon has the worst due to its share split in 2005.

All we can say, is keep the fundamentals in perspective. Water is also needed, population is growing every year, thus water utility companies are going to have to work hard to provide to the various areas.

Hey, I am this close to buying my next lot of shares for the Dec/Jan dip or spring in equities. I have checked the hourly trades and see at least 10trades £5k-£11k of sells in the last hour. Why are they selling this. Are they selling as they think theyv had enough of this steady eddy?
