Two words. Corbyn. Nationalisation.

Some chunky after hours buying yesterday.

Boris abseiling down the mineshaft. Now that'll make a good PR pic....

Thankfully, this is a bullet I didn't take. So my first post here. Too late for this one, but never.. ever... put all your eggs in one basket. The shame is many people will be put off serious Investing for the future, leading to an old age without adequate financial security. Start again. Stick to cheap ETFs that track the Index and are spread across 50 - 100 or more Companies. VUKE tracks the FTSE 100.

I can't see them cutting the divi again. Not after the caning the sp received last time. Idiots.

Let me help you on with your coat.. five eighths (or should that be a nice round figure of eight eighths, but you gave away three eighths down the pub?). Nice story anyway. :-)

More than happy with the 8.5% 'normal' yield! A solid long term hold I'd say.

Sorry to break it to you, but the real risk is of Banks and Suppliers refusing to offer any further credit. Which would have only one ending. Not a shareholder (thank god).

Up 11%. The Yanks are climbing aboard.

Since June....

After the disasterous response to the previous Dividend cut, I don't expect any further cuts - Yield 8.8%

We don't know for this year, not announced yet, but last year the ex-div date was 11 Oct 2018, and 9 May 2019. You have to hold on ex-div date to qualify for dividends.
CNA 'yields' 13.67% , but the odds are very heavily in favour of a dividend cut. How much is still unknown. I'm hoping for 50% or less, still giving a yield of c. 7%.
The political risk is a big issue here, with Corbyn threatening to acquire the Utililities etc at a fraction of the price. If he is defeated (as I hope and expect) then this share will rocket.

Great news.. hopefully they'll get their finger out in time to capture the odd Bilion from Woodford when it reopens.. et moving, lads.. and sharpen up focus on your 3 year fixed ads!

dyor? imho?? bb??? ROFL!!!

No mention of dividend maintenance or cut?

Well posted rxdav. I for one invested a substantial amount on the basis of this charlatan's comfort statement. Have 'lost' a packet (£50k) on the update. Brought to mind Buffett and Munger's comments on the importance of management integrity.

... Telegraph (?) talks of Takeover possibilities. Hence sp up this mornung.

Heh Heh Del Boy... from your two posts looks like you is a shorty. Enjoying the burn? And - your other post today - TNW is different for different types of animals... but a spotty little 'un dealing from his mother's basement wouldn't know that.

Nice one, furrycoat. So am I. Price target 200p.

Up 4.5% since that trade sell out. Will the plonkers never learn?
