TBF they did put one out and then the usual picking apart of it started. The trouble is they company can state the facts but the BB experts then started questioning what they didn't say and dismissing what they did say. At this point they would have to RNS every morning and still by the afternoon the inference would be that Trice is lying or being economical with the truth.

Interestingly though the short/gas is becoming an very very crowded trade. I managed to pick some shares up at close to add to a few others. Lets hope the knicker elastic snaps!

They only have to declare each whole percentage move once they are over the initial notification level I believe.

I wondered why the dip and seriously couldn't believe what I was reading - lets hope we regain back the lost ground from his tweeting

China says major progress in trade talks with US and there's agreement on the "context" of a first phase of the deal.

Hopefully - just what is Trump on!

The Wall Street Journal story on the China Deal is completely wrong, especially their statement on Tariffs. Fake News. They should find a better leaker!

Will be interesting to see what China says. I swear I could stick his orange face in my juicer"

China due to comment at around US open......................allegedly :)

I think there have been so many volte- face's by Trump as he works his own agenda that the market's won't now give anything too much air anymore until it's confirmed.

He's like the kid that cried wolf

I think there might be quite a few deals across the markets waiting on the result of the GE but O&G probably one of the more sensitive. I know what I'd like them to do but I guess we will have to be patient. I'm still a buyer of the sector in readiness for 2020. I accept all the arguments for where we are now but don't believe that that's where it will stay especially IF they come up with the right deal. SQZ could just be in the right place at the right time again.

I'm still stalking that buy - somehow they skirted all around my order yesterday so I'll try again today. I refuse to pay at the top or over the ask when the bid is so low. As you say Sasa it almost feels like you are being discouraged to do anything which in itself is intriguing. I'm interested to know whether now the GE is out of the way whether we will start to see some of these deals come through.

Massive spread again - 115 on the bid yet they want me to pay over 121!!! Left an order in for them to try and work around without filling :))

Cheeky sods I've been trying to buy and they wanted 121 yet just after the market close they drop the ask to 118.40
Never mind I'll try again tomorrow.

Hasn't it just been announced that he is buying some kind of sports team in some sort of tax write down scheme?

Bt some I didn't think it was that bad either

Sorry my error found the relevant bit
BHP will also receive a share of pre-tax net cash flow from the BHP Assets under a Net Cash Flow Sharing Deed ("NCFSD") on the same terms as the net cash flow sharing deed entered into as part of the BP Transaction. BHP will receive a share of pre-tax net cash flow from the BHP Assets of 60% for the remainder of 2018, 50% in 2019 and 40% in each of 2020 and 2021. The net cash flow shares are calculated on a monthly basis. No amounts are payable by Serica UK unless this cash flow is positive and amounts are repayable to Serica UK in the event of negative cash flow, up to the amount of prior payments made to BHP in the same year. Excess losses in a year are carried forward to be offset against future income. As a constituent part of the calculation of the Monthly Net Cash Flow Payment, Serica shall, subject to the terms of the NCFSD, be entitled to propose the carrying out of Necessary Investment Works and / or Discretionary Investment Works.

I do have a rationale but TBH I'm not in the business of necessarily explaining myself to anyone as I invest for myself and don't spam the boards. I'm not saying I'm right just what I do but I like to have a read and make the occasional comment. That's in no way a slur upon your good self you are entirely allowed your POV. I know you are a fan of FXPO I have a few there but in spite of the low PE which I'm not sure applies to PM miners in the quite the same way I'm put off by what goes on in the Ukraine and the position of the majority shareholder. For me that takes some of the shine off the figures but it's a purely personal opinion and not one that I put up on the FXPO BB. As far as I am concerned those investing there will have factored that in, and I don't need to badger them about it. I still hold a few shares there but they are pretty much free ones now so I'm not too bothered. The SPDR gold trust is undergoing similar action what happened in 2016 reference withdrawal rates and my belief it that history might well repeat itself but as is always the way PM miners will overshoot both ways they always have done ever since I first started investing in them in 2009. I am investing in tranches which means I won't catch the bottom in it's entirety but then I didn't with FXPO but still made enough to make me happy. The whole PM market is getting battered and FRES being as liquid as it is is a decent short on these occasions rather than getting stuck with something when the market has turned and you can't exit. I have no faith in this market and at these kinds of levels I am happy enough to accumulate some shares as I feel that PM's will have their day FRES are sorting out the issues they had this year and next year I believe I will be pleased to have made the purchases I will continue to make in a few of the PM miners. I hope you do very well with FXPO - who knows if they get hammered again at some point I'll probably add to my position there again but currently PM's are the only miners I am buying. x

From memory doesn't the extra 20% income kick in shortly?

NI - I don't come onto these boards looking for an argument. I don't want to try and persuade you to buy anything. I've traded around a core holding in FRES since 2009. I'm not actually buying it for today I'm rebuilding my position for 2020 based on where I think PM's are going to be. I've pretty much stayed away from FRES since early this year other than the few that I keep to remind me to keep an eye on them. The reason for staying away where production issues etc . Your thinking around the share price is different to mine - I think it's more to do with poor sentiment around PM miners at the moment rather than being quite so FRES specific. I'm starting to like it around these prices so I'm going to continue - if I'm wrong then I'm wrong but I've always done OK out of FRES. I bought some HOC at close as well today.

Bought a few HOC on the bell as well,. We'll see but I don't trust this market,

bt a few on the bell. PM miners being spanked atm
