SSE PLC Results

[Fluke]

From the HYP viewpoint, a buy. But as with any new share in this strategy, you don't just add it regardless, you need to consider the structure of your portfolio and its diversification before adding, and also the amount to be added, because you must not overweight the sector which is energy utes in this case. The correct weight is the current average sector value in your portfolio.

Yes I did mean all other HYP rules considered, I was referring more to the company action being referred to here and whether that would give you cause to consider it more of a hold. I'm glad you think it is a buy because I topped up a few days ago, was just looking for reassurance since we had you here on the thread.

s.p. down 45p at the moment; in my case that's nearly £1200 off the value, or off the Sept. div. Looks like you jumped at the right time, Mon.

Anyone here snapping the shares up today now they're on sale? (Down 2.6% as I type) I mentioned that I'd topped up this January, so I'm fully invested with SSE I think, so a hold for me.

Oh dear Fluke. There is no safety in numbers and with respects to pyad, but I do not think he ever claimed to be a stock picker. Meaningful reassurance can only come from your own research of the company and your own thoughts not what other people think. My opinion is just as useless as pyad's (in the sense that they are only opinions) and I think SSE is not really a company I would be buying at the moment - too many uncertainties - and you can invoke Strategic Ignorance if you like, I wouldn't.

Looks to be a lot down today - logged into one of my accounts and it was a sea of red for the day, with PRU, IHG, DC.* and many more showing big falls. About the only up share in that account was GFRD, so it looks like its a fairly general fall.

Yes, most are down but some a lot more than others: FTSE 100 - 1.26; SSE - 3.41%; UU - 3.43%; M&S -4.09%; RPC - 4.43% (why?); Lloyds - 2.1% to name but a few. Mostly to do with Italy I think.


Edit: I got the above figures from Digitallook's website. However, having seen M&S down 2.61% on ADVFN's Evening Markets Bulletin and 3.96% on Bing, which gets its figs. from Morningside I believe, you can take your pick.
