Fogthemogg,

Do we know if Linda's transfer of shares to her husband for tax purposes means he could sell them without PDMR rules applying ?

Did a block trade go through ? Volume showing at 200m share already today ?

JAS78,

Yes Brent in the $90s is probably the best price scenario

Heatman,

By delaying payments to subcontractors these big out fits are basically using subies as a form of temporary free banking facility .

UK Nat gas up 16% Brent up 15%. I think its more about the market pricing in a short term spike vs prolonged high energy prices hence demand destruction and possible recession. You can understand why the markets are hesitant to move this up 20% or more on the opening bell. Having said that Tullow is up 12% this morning.

I would say were going to be seeing a market sell off based on Brent at $107

Looks like Brent is heading to $90. Then I suspect US is going to announce its paper market changes to keep a lid on speculators, so it will drop back a bit then probably on to $100 or high $90s

Bonker99,

The US is now energy independent so they don't care, I think they also enjoy putting the squeeze on China for Oil and Europe for gas.

Very interesting comments from Linda.

Dan222,

Also shutting down for essential maintenance would mean our bills will go down as Ed keeps on telling us renewables are 9 times cheaper, its a win win !

Dan222,

Exactly this, they should all take a stand for the huge job losses and precarious nature the EPL is going to put the UK under.

Could be shorts hitting it so they can close and get on the 'right side of the trade' With Brent and gas prices up plus possibility of watered down EPL. Now is not the time to be short HBR. GLG have got to find close to £40 million worth of shares quick fast !

Oil price has been quite constrained really still under $80 pb, in the old days pre Trump I would expect Brent at $95 to $100 already. The world can handle $85 a barrel with $75 often touted as the sweet spot between producers and consumers.

JMAX,

Didn't you tell us they wouldn't close the straight of Hormuz ?

Breakofdawn,

I think they already have but I guess we will have to wait and see.

15.54.35 14,574,840 shares at 19.10p is that the definition of buy the dip ?

TargetPractice,

You can add to that the suspension of staff bonuses, apart from Cindy who has £6m in shares and is negotiating a 100% pay rise.

Target,

They halved the divi on the previous update but have maintained that halved divi on the latest update.

CHELMOCHASER,

They have been dropping this then buying the drop back up here for sometime, I suspect its the shorters and wouldn't be at all surprised to see a bid coming here.

Dadean,

WPP share price was over 1100 when Sorrell was ousted, and just over 1300p when Reid took over, but don't let facts get in the way of a good / bad story.
