Buy at 74.95 Yeah - that was me - there’s only one @Uncle_Doug. Took another hit today. Should’ve done what Jack did and sold out a good while back. Anyway, luckily for me, I never did top up … although it has been tempting to average down these last 3 years … but so glad I didn’t. Mind, if it hits 60p I might bag a few.

Buy at 74.95 Ripley94: Jeez !!! What Truly Awful ResultsToday 08:15 I was expecting a lot better from the results this time round. Summary - customer numbers up 3% but profits down 35%. Was thinking of topping up but definitely not on the back of this mess that they call annual results. SP to hit new lows. Hi @Ripley94 Indeed & I fear there’s no road back to anything like previous highs for this battered stock, as with certain others. There’s been too much mismanagement in the past, that’s now caught up. Market has no confidence in any quick recovery & in recent years the challenges across UK’s energy sector have increased significantly. As evident from my previous comments here, I well missed recent highs when exiting previously. But neither did I feel any regret. I was just glad to be out with any gains. I too shall stay on the sidelines for now. No plans to re-enter. But I sincerely hope this stock can find support & see better days in the foreseeable future for all those still involved in this mess. - Regards.

Buy at 74.95 Hi Doug, Thanks & I sincerely wish you & all other holders well in reaching your higher targets here. Bound to be much higher again, though a degree of luck with upcoming political outcomes may also play a part in the timing of it. Mindful that I could be very wrong on this, though Johnson still leads convincingly in all the polls ( as did Theresa May in 2017), I suspect that most polls are unlikely to factor in the views of many new voters since 2016’s EU Referendum. That numbers approximately 3m. I think many young people have been galvanised towards greater politically activity by the sheer divisiveness of Brexit. I imagine that the majority of these, if they bother turning out (admittedly, no sure thing), are likely to vote for Labour or Lib Dems. That’s why I think the outcome of this GE may be close. That said, even if a Labour coalition wins, they won’t be able to re-nationalise on a wide scale just like that if they hold a 2nd Referendum as promised & Remain wins. So I think it’s a very viable position to hold on here through any further volatility. My decision was only right for me. - Regards & GL.

Buy at 74.95 Well done on your gains. Signs have been mostly positive the last few months. I’m holding on to see what happens. If this fragile recovery holds, i.e. SP maintained above 70p for a few months, I’ll be buying big.

Buy at 74.95 jackdawsson: Bought at 74.95. Added a 2nd smaller tranche at 66.14. Sold at 78.26. After some consideration, taken my gains in view of today’s strong rise & for macro-political reasons. Dividend also booked on these. Paid into accounts today. I’ve no doubt this will be higher again if we see a working Tory majority on 12/12. However, I think Boris Johnson is so poor that even moderate Tories are having doubts. So no surprise if the GE outcome is fairly close again. If a Labour coalition gets in, this will revisit previous lows. Also, I’ve enough exposure to UK politics & Brexit with my biggest hold in shares, LLOY. So I’m glad to book my profits. - GLA.

CNA confirms full-year targets Maybe of interest: Factors behind slight lift in SP today. GLA. Investing.com UK British utility Centrica confirms full-year targets, lifts efficiency goals British utility Centrica confirms full-year targets, lifts efficiency goals By Susan Twidale: "LONDON (Reuters) - British utility Centrica (L:CNA) is on track to meet its full-year cash flow and earnings targets and on Thursday raised its expected efficiency savings by 50 million pounds ($65 million). Adjusted operating cash flow is expected to be in the lower half of its targeted 1.8-2.0 billion pound range, it said. Centrica said its hedging strategy had insulated it from lower European wholesale gas prices, while a strong performance from its North American business helped to offset lower output from Britain’s nuclear fleet, in which it owns a 20% stake. The company has been shifting towards consumer energy services and away from oil and gas exploration and large-scale power generation, as part of a move away from fossil fuels. It has also launched the sale of exploration business Spirit Energy, a document seen by Reuters shows. Efficiency savings for the year at Centrica are now expected at 300 million pounds compared with 250 million pounds indicated in its interim results in July. The company previously said it expected to cut between 1,500 and 2,000 jobs on a like-for-like basis in 2019, as a part of the 4,000 cuts to 2020 announced last year. Centrica chief executive Iain Conn said when presenting interim results in July that more jobs cuts could be announced with the company’s full-year results in February. Conn, who has been under pressure from shareholders because of Centrica’s poor performance, also said earlier this year he would step down in 2020. Shares in the company up around 4% in early trade. “We see today’s reassuring update as a first step forward, after several profit warnings since 2017,†analysts at Jefferies said in a research note."

Buy at 74.95 74.5p as I type. Not for the risk averse but now’s the time to BUY. It is 14% above the bottom and as I look back through history that’s the biggest bounce I can find so a proper break out has been established. I predict another 20% rise over next 12 months (with a few scares along the way).

Buy at 74.95 jackdawsson: Bought at 74.95. Added a 2nd smaller tranche at 66.14. A final add for what may be a longer-term, but still fairly modest target closer to gap above at 90.84 from 29th July. - GLA.
