$62 WTI average for February, not too shabby.

Interesting day, no trades until late morning then the 1 trade drop and a flurry of buying to take advantage. TRIN is trading nice and tight atm, just need one of the many positive cards they have in their back pocket being delivered and we should have the catalyst to the next level.

Interesting to get marked down 6% on a one trade.....

Interesting legacy article, puts some light onto the TGAL project and explains why myself, CRL and others bought in in 2014 at �1. Target of �3 back then would be �1 now which I still think is achievable in the next 18 months. We have the same assets and $30m less debt with much lower breakeven points. https://www.sharesmagazine.co.uk/article/double-up-with-trinity

Yes, murky world, I think naked shorting was what they tried to eradicate. Not much reference to TRIN here, it is just somthing to pass the time. I think the oil sector as a whole is being treated with scepticism as there is a lot of press coverage about the US production growth set to swamp the market with oil which is so far from the reality I have been researching it is little concern for me, but maybe for others. I think we need to take out $70 WTI then when people realise that we infact need the US to outperform their production predictions to keep oil any near as low as $70 the tide will turn. I am happy to wait for that.

I read something disturbing during the financial crisis, is that they can loan out Nominee account shares. Very much like fractionally reserve banking. Many, myself included, hold in nominee accounts so sometimes supply can come from their. A horrible thought that somone can use my share to short TRIN. Someone with more knowledge than me may refute this but in the article I read it explained that this action (and others such as naked shorting) went some way to explaining why some stocks had more shares shorting them than were suppose to be in existence! Not saying any of this is that relevant to TRIN but shows how murky the world is out there....

GO, as you will see with my last post I am still living in hope, you are right we can�t forever, they either have a plan to deliver further shareholder value or they don�t. I think the next Month (all roads lead to March) will be very telling.

Ever the optimist I still feel the company will deliver in the coming weeks and months. The silence on Twitter after a regular flurry during the last qrt of 2017 is interesting. We saw only 3 in the last two months compared with 24 in November and December. I think there are some hints the management are doing plenty in the back ground. Let�s hope my optimism is just and news starts flowing soon. TRIN have so many trump cards they could play at any time. With the help of higher oil prices we have been gifted the chance of clearing debt ahead of schedule, a sensible focus. Now hopefully we can move to a more interesting phase for TRIN.

Little movement, maybe they do read our post and they will oblige us today!

I would like some more at exactly that price! Been keeping my head down recently in the hope things would drift to that level before news. I dont think we will lucky this time. I just get a sense TRIN are very busy in the back ground and exactly like GO has been posting all roads leads to March. Everything looks to be shaping up that way nicely.

Oil very possitive move. I think traders are working out the truth despite the barrage of negative media. Oil needs to be stock pilling now, we are already 23mb behind last year in just the last two weeks and currently sitting a fair way below the 5 year average for this time of year. We need the US to deliver their shale oil. A healthy correction for oil as their was record longs, even if we stay in the $60�s that is great for TRIN.

GOS website updated which is good to see.

API report was a build but significantly smaller than normal for this time of year 3.947m compared to 9.94 this time last year. So the two weeks this time last year there was a 24m build instead of the 3m this year and the market reacted to it as if it is bad news....

Hopefully not your last post GO! It does feel very quiet here since last week and only two trades today so far....

Thanks for the update, having your handle on the numbers is a great reassurance. Like you say predicting oil with this level of volatility currently is tough, we could yet set a higher monthly average than we had with Jan if there is a bounce in the market. Who knows, worse may be to come but as you point out this is why we have the hedges and the managements current cautious approach. We can always open the throttle if conditions allow later in the year when the government debt is sorted and it is clear to the market the CLN will be dealt with prior to becoming active. Anyone who has been in TRIN any length of time knows it is never a smooth ride. I think TRINS relative robustness in the face of a tough week has been great, when things switch I suspect some of the cash shaken out during this period could be finding its way into TRIN and other oilers for a nice bounce. I am still confident oil is the sector to be in for the next few years.

Well somone did load up as I was posting, up $1 pretty sharply. I suspect this market shake will turn out to be a good thing.

Oil at $58, looks like Goldmans call right of the top of the market was perfectly timed again. Suspect they are loading up right now. $80 this year is possible and they could eventually be right, but only after this raid. TRIN had a pretty good week considering how it would have performed in the past, shows the management are getting on top of things. That recent oil boost has done wonders to the financials.

Not the best of weeks but TRIN did pretty well, much better than in the past. Malcy�s bucket list can�t be far off and pretty much all the possitve wild cards I have held for are still yet to be played so fingers crossed a few of them come off in the coming months.

Signs of buying the dip again. AT drove us down but people look to be taking advantage.
