Jeff
Yep very calm here today.
Think ITV may have cancelled the Muppet Show.
It could also be that LSE have picked up that NoFear is an 'Inside Trader' given his obvious Wizard of Oz ability to tell everyone what level the HBR will reach day by day, like yesterday when he was spot on. The fact that he is wrong 99% of the time is irrelevant because he tells us he has 'insider information' and some posters on here like Laidback think he is a 'wizard'.
Only joking ok. Makes the day go by.
Stay safe and good luck. Banks working out and interest rates will likely need to rise to curb inflation now at 4.2%.
All theory.
HC
Ok Baccs first.
I'm so glad to see your still around worried you had a sking accident. Nah you didn't really go skiing at all just played skiing game on your Xbox.Anyway happy to see your still a muppet and the muppet gang gets bigger by the day. You have to understand that if you make it personal its not nice and always bites you back. That said you made money yesterday on your 5 HBR shares so run and buy a lollipop. Ok. Have a nice day but if your going to post have something worthwhile to say.
2nd NoFear
Wow your amazing , you said 384p and you got it right, for a change, but how many times did you forcast this. Are you really this vain to blow smoke up your ass and believe that your the Wizard of Oz and you know the forward SP because of your insider information and where HBR SP is going. If this is true can you do the same for other shares. If you can I want your phone number to get this insider information so I can make millions. If this was not so pathetic i would laugh (I am). What amazes me is that others on this thread actually appear to believe your repeated longggg posts. Muppet is really being kind to you but at least you made a few bob on your odd HBR shares yesterday so well done. You have a nice day but dude grow up a bit ok.
Today for HBR. No idea but after yesterdays dead cat bounce will it retreat.
All theory.
HC
NO FEAR
You can't help it you have to come back with a muppet answer. Actually I liked the Muppet Show so don't be to offended its really a mild rebuke to your nonsense but apologies if it offends
And you can't help blowing your own trumpet. You just can't resist it can u. So the HBR SP goe's up today and magically your the wonder guru we should all follow. You actually say you have 'insider' knowledge. You do know that 'insider trading' is illegal.
C'mon dude get real ok. I'm trying to be kind with you about this stuff but your hard work. No fear. Mmmmm
Have a nice day and enjoy todays gain ok but do stop with the SP forcasts. It's the markets ok not you somehow having a crystal ball.
HC
NO FEAR
Never understood this moniker. Is it that you have no fear of anything, or is it you have no fear of losing money with this particular stock pick being HBR. Bit mystified.
Anyway, not sure why my normally bland early morning musings upset you so. Their just my opinions, plain and simple, not ramping or de-ramping HBR just normally logical comments based upon what we know, and in the case of HBR what we don't know. Add in a few worldly comments and it passes the day.
Now I know you want to be a winner with HBR ,as do we all, but be a bit realistic, so far this is a 'dead donkey' share. For me too risky to average down. I lost my money on PMO and accepted the loss a long time ago. Will I do the same with HBR. Nope. Would I buy HBR shares. Maybe at between 250p and 270p but only if there is good updates and if that happens the shares would likely rise well beyond my buy price anyway. Point is that there are better petro/gas shares to buy at these prices that are pretty bullet proof, and pay divi's, you know like BP and this ain't rocket science. Accept the fact that HBR is risky and you may improve your game plan, keep banging on about how great it is fails to inspire.
I have noticed that your generally nasty with other posters on here. Bit childish behaviour but if you want to be a muppet with me feel free to do so because I'm happy to oblige.
One last thing. If my posts do upset you so then may I suggest you not read them. Concentrate on your Beano or Dandy comics.
You have a nice day, and do yourself a favour and stop watching the HBR share price screen, causes bad eyesight. I would add that you should be happy bunny today because the HBR SP has risen. Long may it last.
HC
Well Monday ended in the plus side but oil/gas regained upward trend so guess HBR tagged along but small gain compared to other petro/gas stocks.
US ticked down a bit but Asia doing ok so will the FTSE rise today. No idea markets very fluid at the moment with JPM saying US stocks to be avoided on value concerns so we could see money shifting to UK markets that are undervalued by comparison. Trick is picking the winners. Sadly HBR is a long way down on the list of value stocks.
All theory.
HC
Blimey Jeff that was a lot of writing. Very informative but do you think algo's and the like are interested in such an unloved stock like HBR. Shell and BP maybe but my guess is not HBR. The big selling looks more like they know something we don't know yet. The SP has lacked the dead cat bounce recently which suggests to me even the day traders see real risk so are not driving the price up to do a 'rump and dump'.
Anyway with all petro/gas shares doing well todays rise with HBR is hardly worth cheering about. Just a guess but things could worsen between now and the Dec update with nervous investors not prepared to hold on the risky side. Much better places to put your money with far less risk and a divi. Buying into HBR for now is just taking a hopeful punt, bit like horse racing when you back the outsider that seldom pays off so for now HBR best avoided.
All theory.
HC
Well last week just went around in circles so what to expect this week. More of the same unless RNS gives + or - on the SP.
Uk likely trade war with EU will not help. Oil price dipped and OPEC no intention to lift output so oil should hold steady.
Only positive theory for HBR is they get brought. Unlikely given lack of transparency and legacy issues that ain't going away. Tolmont could be a bottomless pit on Capex. Speaking to a few petro guys here suggests any wellhead breach is serious stuff and very costly. One guy who works for Exxon said in this situation they just cap the thing, basically fill it with concrete, and move the set up. He added that if the liners have failed its more serious. Basically a few hundred metres of big pipe full of holes on both internal and external segments. Putting plastic tape on these holes is apparently not going to work.
Ok. Before experts on here start jumping up and down on these comments just calm down. I personally have little idea about the Tolmont problems I'm just passing on petro worker comments but they all agreed if HSE are involved its serious.
All theory.
HC
So we should know some things on the 9th December, or not. Will we get RNS between now and then and will the HBR SP stay rangbound. No idea, but sellers appear to be nervous.
Anyway, today for HBR could be tough with oil price drop and its Friday. Seldom a good day for HBR.
US markets dipped again but Asia up on news that Evergrande paid 148million juice on a Bond so avoded default. Foreign investment Bonds are due 4billion USD juice payments in the next two months from the same outfit and Fitch have put out a default alarm. Now Xi is basically pressy till at least 2030 emboldens his plans to let the Chinese property market collapse with comments that he has no regard for foreign investment in China. Kinda you risked it you lost it so tough titty. Add his plans for Taiwan will move up a notch could see world markets spooked.
All theory.
HC
Reason is simple. If China sneeze's the whole world get a cold. If their economy tank's then demand for basics like oil/gas, iron ore, etc, will also come under pressure. That said hardly makes any difference to HBR who's SP is in a world of its own.
Anyway, highlighting other world issues kinda removes the boredom of repeating the same reasons as to why HBR is still at 17p old money.
HC
Dow finished off but Asia so so. Oil/gas dipped now up with Biden refusing to tap the US reserves.
China experiencing internal problems. 11 unexplained explosions in different provinces in the last week varying from restaurants to hotels with obvious casualties but no newsflow. Covid Delta or whatever it is popping up everywhere with Disney China lockdown with 30,000+ Chinese tourists inside now all in quarantine within the complex.
Evergrande apparently making a bond payment but others in the sector in default so the Chinese property market could collapse.
Ok. HBR. Not much to say that hasn't been said. Rangebound whilst other petro's do well. Sellers maybe know something we don't, likely, so have your fingers on the sell button if a bad RNS appears. That said can't see the HBR SP doing much just the daily churn with no dead cat bounce as yet.
All theory of course.
HC
Laidback
Oh dear, your not another one of the muppet gang.
Anyway, not sure if being called a 'subtle and a sly deramper' is a compliment. Maybe I'm really a Soviet Spy trying to subtly undermine the energy market in the UK and I'm targeting HBR because their a major player, and a wonderfully profitable petro/gas company. Nope, I ain't a Soviet Spy, and nope HBR are not what others suggest, a great investment, full stop.
Anyway, I would suggest you have a nice day and go back to sleep and look at the HBR screen later to see if the HBR SP holds its present gains.
HC
Kign
Actually if I'm honest I guess we're all guilty of being muppets at some time during investing thinking we're somehow smarter than the markets. My muppet time was buying PMO and not selling them when they rose above 100p++. Stupid mistake and I should have read the tea leaves fully when the 'white knights' of HBR came around and just sold. I didn't so my losses are what they are, my mistake so yep at that time I was a muppet 100%.
HC
Rookie
Good to find yet another angry muppet hiding under a stone that is clearly losing money on HBR daily, painful I know.
Anyway, I think my posts generally are pretty balanced and reflect my reading of yesterdays posts in the early morning. 4sure I repeat the obvious but then HBR SP repeats itself day after day, week after week, and month after month. My opinions are just that, opinions, right or wrong, I have no idea, but logic and facts guides me towards the negative side on HBR but I'm happy to be wrong and if that happens I may just get back a little of the money I lost holding PMO that is now HBR and in the process wiped out 95% of my original value.
Ramps, de-ramps. Don't need to do either and not really relevant with HBR given its like a ship lost in a stormy sea. Big question is will it survive or will the Board pull another re-vamp and another dilution of new HBR shareholders. Time will tell.
Anyway, you have a nice day and if my posts annoy you so - don't read them.
HC
Tough day Tuesday but will Wednesday be better. Oil/gas again rising but again HBR lagging.
Why. Same reasons. Too risky other than taking day trade positions that is reflected in the high volume trade patterns on what is basically an unloved 250 index stock.
Again I read the theories on 'overhang' and 'portfolio transfers' and high number sell/buy. Actually none of this matters, true or not, what matters is perception of a winning company backed up by positive newsflow with clear financials. None of this applies to HBR, in fact the opposite, but those banging the drum need to realise that HBR is PMO in new clothes. The board at HBR are worse than PMO. This gang really do not give a ****e about investors, 100%, only lenders cross their radar.
As for the issues around HBR. Tolmont alone is bad enough and anyone know how much per day the downtime is costing and its a toss up as to the Capex expended to date, and going forward. Add to the mix Argy and other far flung places that are basically 'money pits' you have to wonder if all the projected FCF will actually cover the problems and service the huge debt.
All theory but if we get a dead cat bounce I would suggest do not get over excited be short lived 4sure.
HC
Jeff
There are lots of theories for HBR failure to be a winner given the obvious strength of both oil and gas.
We get told about stock overhang. Transfer of portfolio's, etc..non of these is correct in my opinion. Investors in this stock need to realise the risk/reward is way to much to the downside with HBR and the RNS newsflow is always pretty negative and many MM's are just waiting for really bad news so risk is the key. Why hold this stock if a really bad RNS comes out and you get tanked by 20% or 30% before you can dump the stock.
I've said before this stock is being day traded given the high number of daily trades. Even they will be wary of the bad newsflow.
All theory of course and just maybe we will see another few pence uptick, or not.
HC
Well at least the HBR SP ended on the up Monday, just a bit. Will it continue. Mmmm . No idea.
Oil and gas prices being up hardly seems to be reflected in the HBR SP which suggests even day traders are nervous on possible negative newsflow which seems ever more likely as the HBR Board stick their collective heads in the sand and ignore investor concerns. Tolmont I think being only one of a number of problems.
Anyway, lets see what Tuesday brings.
HC
Well last week wasn't that bad at least HBR kept rangbound above 350p. So what will happen this week with oil and gas prices again on the rise.
Could be the HSE and Tolmont questions will be a drag on the SP until HBR fully explain the situation. The electrical problem story if untrue will explode in HBR Board face and really upset the markets. Anyway, all conjecture but the HBR Board need to get in front of this fast.
Any negative stuff will see significant downside given market sentiment to HBR is fragile at best.
China's woes continue and will ripple across all world markets. Bond defaults amongst China biggest property developers is increasing. Evengrande we know about but now both bigger and smaller outfits are following the same pattern. Add that China now has major Covid lockdowns and power outages suggest the economy will slow down and again affect world markets.
Upside is the USA with job employment up and international travel now in play. Look for the likes of IAG to benefit on travel and players in the infrastructure spend like BBY. UK banks should continue to improve even though rates got held for now but will rise soon 4sure.
All theory of course.
HC
Dream
Good to see your still a kind and gentle soul. Only joking.
Anyway not sure any spelling mistakes turns the subject matter into 'drivel' but obviously the topic upset you. Why exactly. Even a muppet can see the world is changing and fossil fuels will in time be the same as Big Tobaco, a thing with diminishing demand. You presumably know about Wind Turbines, Hydro, Nuclear, etc, etc.
COP 26 kinda spelt out the future. Will it happen in my life. Nope. In the future. Yep. How many years before EV is dominant. 10 years. Maybe.
Anyway, I suggest you read some well researched investment books that will hopefully wisen you up to the future for investing and stop obsessing on HBR which really was not your best investment. Do yoi actually own shares?
Have a nice day
HC
Well now that the COP meeting is over looks like the fossil fuels sector is doomed with renewables taking centre stage. Ok the transition will not happen in our lifetimes but figure the sector will be hit hard with extra taxes in the coming years that will result in higher prices and higher environmental Capex to try and keep the 'greens' happy. Bigger players will likely profit from this but can HBR. Have to look at this sector as a lagging indicator much the same as Big Tabaco era that is now doomed.
All theory but HBR SP seems to be rangebound for now.
