AIMOilking, Totally agree. All businesses have some issues. Also AV. and PHNX solid businesses with latter Div now approaching 10% !! The models that drive these share sales must exclude forecast div !!

kentio, did hear guitar playing and singing out of No10 recently, maybe Larry the cat has given Truss and Kwarteng some ideas for raising funds down the underground !!

Lower Buy Back prices at least. It's shocking that Govt does a U-turn on WT after they said they wouldn't back in May/June. Realise a different team but same Party. Hope SSE and others materially cut their RE Capex to reflect the WT, that'll teach the Tories..!!

Jeffrey1979, I don't blame BoE as they're only the cleaners. That idiot KK and his trainee PM are the ones to blame and hope they'll suffer appropriately for the pain they've inflicted, and not just politically.

Smartie06, Yes with much emanating from Credit Suisse with their very overpaid so-called Analysts and Dealers who really have little understanding of cash in cash out process !!

Thunder2040, Game playing taking advantage if FEAR !! Can't believe Pension Funds selling out, hope mine isn't doing so as O&G the one sector to hold at mo !!

Thanks for article hostman. Well 'The government is committed to the UK reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050.' is a load of rubbish because SSE specifically invests very large amounts in Renewable Energy Projects and any large tax will reduce that spending dramatically. It may also persuade the foreign owners of Scottish Power, EDF, etc...to move elsewhere though Europe is already Windfall taxing.

Indy0105, Brent now over USD98. Taconic could be very wrong, many shorters mess up....

DBarnet, UK has never wavered on its commitment to Ukraine. I've been mystified by the compulsive drops to the 770's recently but after Fri 7/10 now feel justified that those sellers were wrong. I bought in late 2020 at 400p and waiting for over 900p....

Infor, I am really struggling to understand why a prof business - Taconic - would risk £25m shorting a share like HBR which is selling a product in high demand and may go higher, is expected to be debt free soon, has titans in the same business forecasting sp's materially higher than now, has reduced political risks, etc... Credit Suisse are in trouble due to betting millions on the wrong horse and Taconic are nothing v Credit Suisse. Personally, I think Taconic have made a big mistake and shorted the wrong share and I'm ignoring it and, if others also do because that Short is creating a perception that is affecting our current prospects for share price appreciation, the sp will rise and Taconic will probably bale out (short squeeze also) !!!

WellIntervention, we need to ask Barclays and GS to put their money where their mouths are and buy millions of HBR shares at these low prices !! Surely these giants would know more than a small outfit like Taconic re any HBR merger plans ? Whether HBR peruse Noreco or any other outfit, the information is off-market and speculative. The current fixed Short by Taconic shouldn't affect future daily volumes and prices because it's not done on that future day. If Taconic increase or reduce their Short then that'll affect that day's activity only, surely ? Brent now up to c USD97 pboe heading to USD100, surely Taconic's Short isn't having an influence on daily trades on the days after they created their Short ?

NewKOTB, why fire in loads of small AT trades, it's the big ones that count ? I generally ignore the small trades when I peruse the activity so do others give them relevance for some reason ? Large Buys and Sells are the important ones not a cluster of small ones.

Well volcano, the eruption was yesterday and now the lava is flowing down again even further. Thought great results would invigorate this share, very strange.

NSTAbz, with a name like Taconic and picking HBR to short, they aren't the wisest guys in town !!

peterlowen, 'low ball figure' of 800p you mean ?

Smartie06, SHEL up also !! BP close to 469p multi year high !! Mystery why HBR not rising, was 500p not long ago.

Paul2566, I wonder was the drop today related to National Grid statement today that there may be 3 hr daily cuts to electricity if a shortage of gas emerges during Winter ? Heavier falls in SSE started around 2:25pm though just before US Open..... I topped up at 1562p but shd have waited !!

OWLS, reviewed today a Rating Email from Alliance containing many shares ( headed LONDON BROKER RATINGS: Berenberg cuts Anglo American and Gem Diamonds) : out of 81 share ratings, only 43 are Buys (strong buy, buy or outperform) = 53%, 14 are Sells (sell, underperform, underweight) = 17%, 24 are Hold or Neutral = 30%. So unless my sample is too small, don't know what source you used for your figures !!? Ratings do move share prices at least initially / short-term.

Mudeford, Yes, LSE have simply used the pre-demerger 80p pa and adjusted it based upon the Consolidation adj of sp from 4 to 5 (because share qty fell from 5 to 4 there was no change in total value). A lazy inaccurate approach.
