sheltie, the so called 'City' ( geniasses) were correct with Micro Focus were they ?!!! My average 360p and Holding !!

With a Current PE Ratio < 6 really gotta wonder who is selling here !!

affmaead, don't kick yourself too hard !! The only benefit I see after not selling at much higher prices is that I accept I won't be selling now because know price'll spring back to higher levels even in short term. Winter is ahead and Putin won't be leaving Ukraine for a while yet. Even in recession, oil and gas is a major need and there are serious supply constraints, even off shore platforms I believe.

Looks like Joe Biden cycling means all Americans will be ditching their cars and using Exercise bikes to warm themselves up this Winter !! No need for Oil and Gas anymore or maybe aliens have secretly provided a very low carbon alternative !!

Who on earth is selling these very defensive shares ?

Well said Deadly4U. The drop today looks likely caused by the EU stating that the current Energy Pricing Model has to be changed soon. Gas price capping mentioned as is using Oil to produce Electricity, etc.. Wind Energy pricing presumably will lose the premium of energy unit pricing using gas !!

Interesting to see what the US inventory figures are tomorrow, hopefully at levels well below forecast !!

spights, great post as I also have SSE !! Elec and Gas pricing presumably is based upon Supply and Demand so can't see what EU can effectively do if there is a serious supply shortage. They cannot force Utilities to supply at less than cost, they'd be better off simply not supplying. Re Wind Energy, SSE, Iberdrola, and others are entitled to make profits commensurate with the market energy prices. Interesting to see what the politicians come up with !!?

ToffAppleton1, I didn't post to end up in a 'to and fro' with you or anyone, as I have, and you also, more important things to deal with, but I always try to answer critical replies to my posts. I posted the link re Shorts because that is the only official visible info re Shorts out there v your hidden stealth data which you probably cannot prove anyway. You've cited volatile share movements as an effect of 'stealth shorting' but couldn't that also be 'honest' market makers playing games ? As I've already messaged, if you could collate any evidence that you do have re 'stealth shorting' by 'hyena funds' (names and maybe a whistleblower re trades, collusion details with other hyena funds, etc...) and submit it to appropriate authorities whilst at same time engage a news editor willing to publicise your findings which'll also pressurise the control authority, etc, then that'll be quite an achievement. Wonder if a whistleblower would be open to a bribe ? As you say yourself 'Knowing the game as I do, I was merely explaining how hyena hedge funds keep their short position below this threshold to evade detection' so please stand up to the mark and show the meat (as the legal profession fondly term evidence). Given my age, I very much understand there are many many shades of grey, in fact much more grey than black and white in this non transparent unpredictable world of ours.

chippyjo, the NRA seem to be a separate group and not financed by the West, I didn't say the West financed them. The US and UK have ss agents in Russia as does latter have ss agents in the West. Maybe the reasons why West won't 'take out' Putin is, apart from his high security, that Russian agents might do likewise to Western leaders ? So little do we know about what really goes on !!

Ah CR888, you're such a spoil sport, I want the sp to fall below 500p so I can have an even better Xmas !!

jzchat, so you reckon TB may bid 700p, less than 40% higher than current sp ?

ToffAppleton1, quite an unwarranted aggressive response to my simple statement below: 'No sign of Shadowfall shorting DARK at mo !! https://www.shorttracker.co.uk/company/GB00BNYK8G86/ ' and there isn't any visible sign.
I am very aware of the 0.50% requirement to report shorts thresholds, thank you. You say 'And I know all about the game.' so please help us get rid of this criminal activity. If multiple entities are collaborating in a scheme (hyena) to short DARK by each less than 0.50%, which is a financial crime, and you know all about the game, then use your knowledge and skills and collect the evidence, name the other entities and obtain testimony from insiders of these entities (thick as thieves outfits have low morals so surely someone will co-operate to even get a reduced sentence). A newspaper would gladly cover this and you could even gain financially from it. You chance to really make a difference. I remain a Holder of DARK and may buy more.

denby69, all the top managers and directors feather their own nests !!

Infor, I presume by 'machines' you mean algorithm trading ? Whatever you mean, humans are behind and set up the trades. Energy is the one sector, maybe also other commodities, that will be successful in future recession given massive shortages. Why short cos in the Energy sector, indeed why sell out of probably the most attractive sector ? Saudies and Venzuela want high oil prices and very unlikely to increase output.

I guess it's too much the polite thing to do to not call for the annihilation of Vladimir Putin who is the root cause of these painful situations. The new Russian terrorist group NRA ? may achieve this and I do not think Putin's successor would be as obsessed re expansion. Osoma bin Laden was killed (rightly) for far less, what an irony !! Fire needs to be fought with fire not dignity, the Eurocrats and Sleepy early dementia Joe are too gentle, I sincerely hope that Western-financed mercenaries await their chance in Moscow to plant a bullet in Putin's head. Apologies to all the devout Christians out there, but I needed this rant !!

From Reuters around 3pm today:
'The Dow Jones Industrial Average led losses and was down around 0.6%, with all major indexes in the red. Health care and real estate were leading sector losses, with energy the only S&P 500 industry sector showing gains'.
Energy shares maybe up again tomorrow ?

Deadly4U, generally agree. I meant Centrica Gas profits by the way, which is BG, so you're right there !! There are some businesses out there that apply human morality and fairness because at end of day humans are behind the decisions, and the ultimate test of morality and fairness are those who do the right thing morally when legally they don't have to (including societal pressure), but big business at the top attracts the sociopaths who lack empathy described as 'hard nosed'. I'd be willing to take a 20% div cut to help genuine energy poverty, I wonder if other shareholders would concur so maybe SSE BoD should put it to a vote. Forgive my naivity if so, but we'll all die someday and ......!!
