Is there any change with recent announcement delaying 6 months implementat of 2025 changes

Elucidation appreciated if you can. You saying none were sold and obviously unclear to many. ,

If divi is a penny a quarter that is 8% per annum

Useful thanks

I was impressed with the recent northern power grid fact sheet. You can find this on the Berkshire Hathaway website where the Uk subsidiary is shown

Www.northern power grid.com

This utility is part of Warren Buffets Berkshire Hathaway Energy.

The retirement? Not a fundamental difference, still CEO. Think only fundamental when he dies what happens with the family holding and whether they want to continue in this business.As long as he is a CEO would think has a big interest in the recovery of this business and recovery of the share price.

Why P/E. & Earnings so Negative?

Less chance of telecoms being nationalised?

What about earned income like ex Directors who pay themselves in dividends at low rates when should be paying standaed rate and higher rate taxes.

What is ‘unearned’ income ? Stolen maybe possibly but in final analysis you are paid for the risk you take in getting the return you receive. And also any Opportunity Cost

Has to retrace now to cover the divi.

Electricity prices easing but it won’t last. Much oversold

Why do they get picked on by NHS giving Salamol to asthma sufferers saying CFC free! Ventoline a long proven Glaxo medication with a good effective propellant that the feeble replacement does not have!

Resource rich country. Sluggish at the moment but a good hold for bad times in UK

Well because of that just keeping a few and hope for the best. Wherever you put a few bob no sooner you have got it. It can go down - and even when you just keep a few pennies in one it goes up when the others go down! These days shares a headache not like it was years ago when markets were slow and people bought and held for years on end!

It seems so many have bought bank Prefs not knowing about the fact they will soon not be Tier 1 and can be repaid substituted with inferior paper

What’s the use of holding these Bank Prefs if they will cease to be Tier 1 and can be replaced next year with inferior securities

Came out of the blue didn’t it! Was not expected and clearer forward guidance would have been appreciated so we know what direction the broker is planning! It could retest around 50 XD or just continue going up but to where 100p with 5% divi! Or are all dumped on another broker and chairman retires. Or we get free transfer out to another broker of choice? Quite a mystery still and not happy about it so
