I've not seen that graph before, which appears to show that SSE and CNA have been hanging onto their profit margin.

Any takers at 7.2% yield ?

Good luck to them, if they can manage it!

Since the June election, my utilities (CNA, NG, PNN & SSE) have fallen by 17%, 11%, 13% and 10%.

The F100 has fallen by 0.2%. The dividends are still rolling in, but one has to wonder....

Glad that I earlier reduced my holdings on NG and SSE at least. Buy CNA at 7.2%, and you are betting against the market - and the press, which finds British Gas an easy target.
