To be honest Hitman89, I'm surprised that no-one hasn't wiped Trump out by now. He is defended very well, but where there's a will there's a way and the damage he's doing to the world is far greater than many who face the death penalty.

Pavriko, shouldn't you be focusing on your English grammar lessons ? Your parents won't be happy if you fail it again. 🤣

PEAKDREAD, Markets were thought to mean everything to Trump, but some now believe his 'ideology' is more important. US Futures flat lining, hopefully there'll be some of a bounce today.

What I find hilarious is that the drop today purportedly was caused by the idiot Trump not answering NO to the scenario of a possible US recession this year. I wouldn't ask his prediction of

the weather tbh !!

Well expressed PEAKDREAD, couldn't have put it better myself !! Raises the obvious requirement to have an appropriate mandatory psychological test for incoming US Presidents and for any other high up decision-maker positions in the US Administration and indeed not just for the US. After all, such tests are used by employers for many of us ordinary folk !!

Totally agree @surprised. Linda Cooke is an effective CEO, she's materially improved HBR given her challenges from HMG re Profit Levy, globally re oil and gas prices and current wars, movement towards green energy, etc... She'll cut current corporate debt in the medium term.

Nat Gas well up today, can't believe the share price not up as well.

Oxygen, I understood taxes are a % of taxable profits so how can HBR have tax liability higher than the profits on which they are calculated ?

The question as always is, has Mr Market already baked these good results into the current share price ?!!

Yes AceofClubs, CMCX isn't firing on all cylinders, but when a top manager and director are resigning then it can be deemed to remove their director status, indeed maybe the CFO asked for it hinself. It's quite a competitive market and, as you say, technology is now a much greater determinant of success. Lord Cruddas has much, if not most, of his money and soul in this company and that's a huge positive here.

Looks to me as if the CFO role just wasn't for him. He tried it since 2023 and now 'by mutual consent'both he and CMCX agree. Also, he's been there 20 years which is a very long time and probably eants to do something else before retiring. No panoc !!

Fordm, maybe Elon would be Trump's care assistant and change his diapers ? 🤣🤣

Wakeboarder, agree only speculation - "However, the researchers emphasized that its current efficiency of infecting human cells is significantly lower than that of the Covid-19 virus. Despite its ability to infect human cells, they cautioned against exaggerating its immediate threat to human populations. More monitoring is required, but the virus’s potential to cause a global pandemic remains speculative at this stage."

After all, maybe Vlad or Kim in the East could toss some ole nuclear missiles to their West just for the craic eh ?!!

Yes meoryou, the Woke crowd are rarely far away these days !! Are they invested in BP to maximise their returns or to keep an eye on their climate strategy ? Most profit is obviously in Oil and Gas, haven't these Woke investors learnt anything ?!!

Yll-shx, how do you figure oil at $145 with Trump's 'drill baby drill' ?!!

Pergugalator, Yahoofinance states Dec 7th 2024 "The projected fair value for SSE is UK£18.32 based on Dividend Discount Model" and "Our fair value estimate is 16% lower than SSE's analyst price target of UK£21.75". I realise the inaccurate nature of these figures, however they seem reasonable enough to me. SSE could be classified currently as more of a growth stock, despite being a Utility, as it materially expands through its large projects, would you agree ? Therefore, a high yield not currently as important as its growth.

Moniman, surely Miliband and Reeves wouldn't be that stupid to try to impose a 90% tax ?!! There'd be a cessation of activity in North Sea, a complete stoppage !! There's only a certain amount of crap that these oilies will take !!

Expecting decent 2024 Results at 7am,!!

Stupmy, "Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (120% increase in shares outstanding)." But this is because the assets of HBR have substantially increased due to their acquisition !!

Agreed Jakeyork, Trump is a dangerous man and also deranged. It's a tragedy that he turned his head last year whilst that assassin's bullet neared him. He is a typical sociopath with little to no compassion to be a global team player for the benefit of all. There's a fair chance that he will reel things back though when Americans shout loudly about increased prices and reduced stock markets.
