2re,

Did Nissin really pay 62p for their stake? Are they hoping to bankrupt the company so they can pickup the noodle / sauce part of the business for almost nothing? I studied toysRus and Sears........the main investors stripped the company slowly of tangible assets, loaded it with more debt........smart rich guys like that never lose! We retail investors are nothing but lambs heading for slaughter.

My aim in life is to float a company with zero debt that trades on TNAV, fixed number of shares, no LTIPs, no bonds......pure equity owned by just private retail investors, no bonuses or huge pay too!

Never trust a fund that is desperate to exit an investment.

Nice entry for fresh buyers!

Hawk,

312p seems very high, Ian conn is a muppet.

Snige,

The company needs to stop bleeding customers, they know the poor postcodes where people would want to switch. Ian Conn has to ensure that all poor / average customers are switched to cheapest tariffs instantly. Leave the rich folks on the most expensive tariffs......they are too busy to worry about utility bills.
British Gas is the main focus not the nuclear assets, shareholders wants to see CNA retain / increase customer numbers.

Monte,

The regulators need to be investigated, see my water bill is huge but I can’t switch because they operate a monopoly. Now gas and electricity can always be switched, rich folks don’t mind paying double but why must ofgem set prices that can swing wildly as we have seen already. Wholesale price of gas can swing 10% in either direction in one day, I have never traded electricity but it must be wild as well........that’s the reason the newbies are folding. A company that supplies electricity and gas gets the bashing for doing a great job. Political scapegoat because the current crop of politicians are lame.

These shares that we are buying / selling can’t be real.........the dividend has been confirmed yet lots of shares are always available at lower price everyday. This share trading is fake!

Conn’s job is to retain customers and may be even grow the customer base..........he’s been losing them to bankrupt newbies! Ofgem is the dumbest regulator in the world........creating fake competition!

162p B/E here but things need to change, conn is too weak!

Jesus, what a lame update.......losing too many customers instead of switching them automatically to lowest tariff. Too many still on standard tariff..............the CEO and the board should go, we were promised update on nuclear stake sale but no mention of that.

BluePete / Aus,

Sports has been so great for us that the SP has tanked. Sky spent money that would have gone into champions league on their NowTV platform along with quality shows...............and got a juicy offer. Gavin is being replaced because of his sports gamble. Jansen will stop bidding for sports rights and work with SKY.
Most people here just make wishful comments when they know that BT is losing money with their sports offering. Comcast owned SKY would slaughter any competition in the future.

Poker,

Just a way to keep the party going, the last housing was caused by speculators, people taking multiple mortgages on the same house with zero equity, landlords on buying spree......taking rents and deposit upfront then disappear. First time buyers can be housebuilders and banks best friends (more like slaves) in order to maintain high margins and improve sales.

99% mortgage and zero checks needed for first time buyers as long as they are less than 45 years old and have a job.

Sports is useless as you can’t watch it again. BT needs to pay sky some money to show the crappy football........money should be spent on creating award winning dramas. Football is so overrated.

of nationalisation is towards national grid not suppliers / traders. CNA is too diversified and should not be a target of nationalisation.

John McDonnell just laid it out in plain English...........Royal Mail will be nationalised once labour gets into no 10.

Nige,

It’s on Bloomberg and it is the highest ever on record mate. I lived through the 08 crash (London / SouthEast regions) and didn’t see so many new houses go up so fast then in the U.K except Spain. BT, talktalk, C4 are moving HQ away from London and many more could as well as the brexit effect. Less demand from resident buyers as well as speculative buyers is a problem. The stamp duty and landlord clampdown is affecting speculative buys.
New homes offers are being pushed in South East region and they are cutting prices. CSP / Berkeley is cold calling residents around their new developments. HTB is their main selling point for now to get those juicy profit margins.

Saudi has to pump more, deal agreed with trump already as punishment for khassogi murder. Iran has so many choices with waivers provided. WTI should settle between $45 - $50 very soon, add $5 premium for Brent.

MrD,

Don’t buy PMO.......no divi, not diversified, won’t be able to raise money easily like VOD.

Auson,

Shell and other big oil are diversified into many things........chemicals, retail, distribution and many more. They are buying car charging firms, gas & electricity suppliers, REITs and so much more. The debt on their balance sheet is sustainable. PMO, ENQ and the rest will collapse if demand actually slow for oil.
