Cool, I believe the Saudi's are looking at power sources for desalination plants and a future beyond oil. Berkeley Energia just received financial backing from Oman would not be surprised to see other oil producers investing in nuclear power or uranium miners.

Judging by the share price there seems to be some support at around 75p and I remain of the view the company's technology and order book will attract a buyer. Whether the major shareholders are open to a bid is another matter.

http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS-Regulator-OKs-safety-report-on-Kashiwazaki-Kariwa-units-0410174.html Some progress towards the Japanese bringing a few reactors back on line. This will help push fuel prices up a little. I would like to see something similar in Germany.

http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS-Regulator-OKs-safety-report-on-Kashiwazaki-Kariwa-units-0410174.html Some progress towards reactors coming back on line. Slow progress, nuclear power needs a cold winter and higher oil prices.

Just topped up with 100,000 shares. Not a great deal of money, some risk but great potential imo. Noticed someone bought a chunk this morning or HL placed all their buys under one order?

New nuclear � a chance to start again - https://www.ft.com/content/75d19894-5134-38e0-a09b-127843b377a8 via @FT I am encouraged that the news is at least discussing nuclear power in a more positive way. FT article also mentions SMRs.

US delivers electric shock with coal and nuclear subsidy plan - https://www.ft.com/content/a5c7c658-a6bb-11e7-ab55-27219df83c97 via @FT If you hit a paywall the article discusses shock news that Trump is proposing subsidies for power plants which provide base load. It concludes if passed coal and nuclear will benefit. Personally I am looking for progress in Japan and Europe.

From todays FT "A legal battle over the future of the US electricity system is looming after the Trump administration shocked the industry with proposals for new subsidies for coal-fired and nuclear power plants. If implemented, the plan could mean the most radical shake-up of the market in decades. Rick Perry, the energy secretary, on Friday sent a proposal to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission calling for payments for power plants that provide �essential energy and ancillary reliability services� � and defined these in a way that means only coal and nuclear generators are likely to qualify. "

No bids but a modest recovery in sp. Government review on its way re fixed odds terminals. Good news on synergies from the merger.

As I read the RNS Blackrock have slightly upped their stake in Cairn Energy.

. H�gg�n emerged during the year as holding additional promise to supply the market with the so-called �green� metals. This re-evaluation was prompted by the rise in the prices of a range of the battery component metals. Many of these metals will be taken into solution using the current leach process and as such marginal capital is required for their recovery. I rate Aura a strong buy for those willing to buy and hold. Great potential and mining due to start shortly. Any mining in Africa risky while Sweden a safe political bet. I remain of the view nuclear power critical to energy security and a low carbon economy. Germany was wrong to close down its nuclear plants.

Many positive and reasonable points made below yet the hard facts are that the sp is down today not up. At best a hold with personal concerns over who is shorting PMG and why?

"Dealmaking in the oil and gas industry is on course to record its first annual growth since crude prices crashed in 2014 as companies begin to clean up their balance sheets after the financial pain of the past three years. Mergers and acquisitions have risen by 40 per cent to $270bn so far this year, compared with $192bn in the first nine months of 2016, according to Mergermarket." Only a matter of time imo.

RBS is a state owned basket case. Will it go bust?

On the money, I have a few shares in the kids SIPs but not keen to buy more just yet.

Ex-HSBC forex trader goes on trial in New York - https://www.ft.com/content/ee254130-a208-11e7-9e4f-7f5e6a7c98a2 via @FT The trial of a senior HSBC banker continues in NY. This piece of crap allegedly used the Cairn India deal to manipulate the exchange rate. He got a big bonus and Cairn got screwed. If found guilty I hope the bankster is sent to a jail full of big angry lifers who can educate him on the perils of fraud.

Let it settle then buy a few more?

The sector slowly recovering and POS rising with the tide.

The Government review rumbles on with worries about fixed odd betting terminals, online gaming and problem gamblers. But turn on your tv and every other advert is for a payday loan to tide the sucker over some unforseen problem at v high interest rates but thats fine?
