Good news !!!!

Heather is on her way to AK - eta 13.00 hours on Friday - around 12 days since the last load.

Jerome Powell seems rather heavy handed not just in his actions but in his words - the rise was expected but it seems most of the damage was done in the press conference that followed the announcement.

Another kick in the teeth for sentiment !!!

I have always thought that the tunnel is by far the riskiest part of the construction project - especially in terms of time taken - but I will be absolutely thrilled to be proved wrong !!!

Heather Knutsen is still offloading her previous load at Wilhelmshaven Germany but should be away later today or tomorrow - she is expected at Sullom Voe for a STS on Saturday - that might be a bit tight.

The load will be transferred to Atlas Voyager - currently to the west of Shetland making her way to Sullom Voe.

The weather is set fine right into next week.

API - showing a 3.45m build - not expected - not good.

I am not sure about Invivo in Europe but using Gleadell for UK distribution would be perfect.

Gleadell distribute CF fertilisers in the UK - adding Poly4 would give them a much better offering to the farmers and enable split loads because CF and Sirius are so close together on Teesside.

Sirius would benefit as it would be a very quick route to market enabling Farmers to easily trial Poly4.

It is important to understand that ADM are not a manufacturer but a bulk wholesaler.

They draw product from their suppliers on a day to day basis when their customers order it.

Therefore, a product where they have sole distribution on will get the full promotional works.

As I have said before, I would like to see Gleadell and maybe Invivo distribute Poly4 in the UK and Europe under a similar deal - just cut out traditional suppliers like ICL.

Sentiment is well and truly shot now - in all markets - except maybe Gold.

Its looking likely that WTI could fall below $46 before Christmas - especially if EIA shows even a slight build.

No sign that we have reached the bottom yet - maybe by mid January we can start looking for a positive reverse.

I think it is the political system that is a fault - it encourages our self defeating form of political combat that give these swings of power that don't in any way benefit the electorate.

PR is rather woolly but it does encourage cooperation between the parties and level out the divisions to give a far more technocratic government.

Take a look at this article about the Danish Government - a system like this would I think work well in the UK.

Reading the comments ahead of stage 2 it would seem that the following quote from Walter Buffett is very relevant to Sirius at the moment -

"I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful"

Not much Christmas cheer here on my return from holiday - I rather think we are looking towards the new year now for any rebound - the week before Christmas is usually dire.

Hopefully we should see another tanker at AK later in the week but nothing yet.

The offload continues around 22 hours now.

All said and done tanker watching becomes even more important into 2019 - good or bad.

Off on holiday now - back 15th December - Brent will be soaring by then - maybe???

" I fear they buried the wrong president yesterday. A corpse would be more advantageous than the orange tinted thing they have now".

Thank you spindok - that is the first thing that has made me laugh today!!!

The trouble is that Russia are pressurising Saudi as well - they see that Saudi has shot itself in the foot with the Yemen and Khashoggi.

So the Russians seek the advantage to make Saudi give way to bigger cuts than them.

Real jitters ahead of todays OPEC+ meeting - could turn POO either way - but not looking good at the moment.

Good numbers today - revenue for 2018 more than double 2017.

Maybe this will stir the market???

This is the company in North America that ITX have as their new corporate partner -

That's about it...

More good news -

Shorts were down to 2.83% in November compared to 4.34% in October.

Hello 121

Yes, I think we are virtually there - the hook up seems to have mirrored the performance of the SP - eventually come good after lots of downs.
