Happy ....someone needs to kick you in the sack. Good thing Rahul doesn't care about your opinion. Why not take out a short and put your money where your mouth is.....?

The RNS will come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be profit
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the losses, and the sorrow
'Til there's none
When I'm stuck with a share
That's gray, and lonely
I just stick out my ISA
And grin, and say, oh
The rise'll happen tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on'til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow tomorrow
I love ya
Tomorrow
You're always an RNS away
The RNS will come out tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on'til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow tomorrow
I love ya
Tomorrow
You're always an RNS away
Tomorrow tomorrow
I love ya
Tomorrow
You're always a profit away

Fair enough.... we're all entitled to our views....apologies, a bit tetchy today given this ridiculous drop.

With all due respect.... you're talking absolute ********. This has nothing to do with results and is pure wider market sentiment, loads of shares have shed 10% plus today. However, I am in agreement with your hoping it goes up again tomorrow.

There's been a lot of posting about shorts and how they control the share price, in fact I'm probably guilty of some of those posts too. However, I'm starting to think they actually have no control and are just players in the game. I believe all the major shorters are currently sitting on big losses, so how does that demonstrate they are controlling the share? Exactly, it doesn't and demonstrates the opposite. If we take Pictet's increase on Friday, did they have insider knowledge about an impeding crash you ask? No is the answer I believe, they just gambled that as we'd hit 60p we'd drop back again. This has happened 3 or 4 times before, so they were probably just banking on it happening again. The same way a holder may have sold at 60p expecting the drop and hoping to buy in lower.

For those that are expecting the shorts to reduce to 0%, this may never happen. Between 2009 to 2014 oil was at its previous peak , yet Tullow didn't have 0% shorts during this period. So the shorters may have hedged their tullow short with another trade and be up over all on the trade or just wait it out till the next downward oil cycle. Why they never cash in when the share price got to sub 10p is beyond me though and i think shows the level of greed they have.

On a side note .... I think a lot of people need to take a look at what happened to the market today and stop making posts that this was specific to Tullow. This drop today is not unique to Tullow, nor was manufactured by some dark force working against Tullow or the shorters. It was a bad day for the markets, if you want to know why then read the articles out there explaining.

Anyway. Tomorrow is another day and we'll see if the panic continues. GLA

All I can say is thank f**k this didn't happen when we still were at 40p

One thing we know for sure ... this drop is not related to Tullow's performance, but rather to a general market slump. So the million dollar question is do you sell and hope to buy back in later at a much lower price or just wait it out. This also obviously presents a buying opportunity, however you need the funds to buy and again do you buy now or wait.

I guess I've been through too much in the last 2 years to sell now and don't have available funds to buy more, so again will just wait it out I guess. If the markets do well and truly tank now I'm sure they'll have bounced back with in the next 3 months. Frustrating!!!!!!

Last week I was thinking 70p this week for sure. We better get a bloody good update on Wednesday or we'll be back to 40p in no time at all. Problem nowadays is everything is algorithm driven so when things tank everything tanks and tanks hard. Just our bloody luck....we finally turn the corner and the markets start tanking again and drag us down.

Little concerning that the general market mood is pulling us down during our update week. I'm hoping oil stocks become the new boom shares once people start cashing in their tech and pharma stocks, as we've been out of favour for two years now. Stock market seems to be about trends these days and people follow the money. Yes, there is the green agenda, but no one can ignore the green of money.

Excellent.... well played!
Thanks for confirming.....always comforting to us little guys knowing that the big guns are still keeping the faith :-)

I know Stephen Beetham is one if he is still in....

Sadly not me either :-(

I know a gentleman never tells and it's vulgar to flaunt your wealth, etc., etc., however I'm curious. Is anyone here up over a million pounds?

Damn it, I used a train metaphor instead of a shipping one .....

Great profits ahoy!

:-)

Not just Tullow down this morning. Also, given the rise this week not unusual to see a bit of profit taking on a Friday. Be a brave man/woman/gender fluid who sells 3 trading days before the update hoping to buy in at 55p or below.

Must have a bit of cash to splash and something worth protecting if they're employing the Ghanain navy for $23.5-million. All aboard for great profits.....

Trade Type P
'P' Protected Portfolio
A protected portfolio transaction or, if reporting a trade resulting from a worked principal agreement for a portfolio transaction. Like a non-protected portfolio, but the price dealt at can be amended if the market maker manages to make a 'good' profit.

Not entirely sure what the above means, but sounds like someone with a lot of shares agreeing to sell to someone wanting to buy a lot of shares. Maybe someone can explain it properly?

In the past 2 years every time Tullow went up 10 , 15, 20% this board suddenly became full of derampers (aka the shorters) trying to peddle fear and posting about how bad things are for Tullow. Warning us that we should all be careful and sell. I find it very telling that on the rise from the low 40's to 60p in the past 2 weeks, we've not had a peep out of them. Even today when we're down a little and have slipped marginally below 60p they're eerily quite. I think Tullow is now a well and truly different prospect to what it was a year or two ago and even the shorters can't deny this anymore.

Ah OK, think I misunderstood it .... did think 400p was a bit outrageous .... anything over a pound will be mighty fine too :-)

Wow....... Rupert Hargreaves is even more rampy then me :-).

"This change in sentiment could lead to a re-rating of the shares. Although this is far from guaranteed, I do not think it is unreasonable to suggest that both stocks could command a similar valuation to BP as their outlooks improve."

BP is sitting at around 400p, so if that happened it'd be a dream come true for me. Who knows, but certainly is nice to see people in the industry saying positive things about Tullow.
