The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with London Stock Exchange Group's Chris Mayo has just been released. Listen here.
Thanks guys, the general consensus seems to be that they're not a good company to deal with. They kept repeating that they were only calling me to give me information and didn't ask for any personal or holding details BUT they did ask how I intended to vote! I'm still unsure if I should sell or hold as I've had some of these for a long time and don't want stung any more.
I haven't looked in here for a while and got a phone call out of the blue today from Morrowsodali, told me they were a 3rd party communications agent for Hurricane Energy. Told me I should have received information through the post on 6th Apr 2023 but nothing has come, I've checked through my trading platform (Halifax) and there is no mention of any takeover. I've looked through a few chats but am still a little in the dark, could anyone spell out the pros and cons of holding or selling at the moment. I've averaged down from the 50's hoping one day to get back up there and now sit at 7.6p which would mean a slight loss if I sold.
Absolutely - I've no problem dropping it, however, this thread wasn't started by me (just aimed at me) nor was the previous thread which people thought it was ok to write non Petrofac comments slating Scotland. Maybe it's deemed ok to post nonsense throw away remarks without reply or correction, perhaps that's the way some people get gratification. I doubt that these people actually read and understand any information and will continue to stay blinkered to whatever cause they have. Since then, I've seen so much misinformation and lack of understanding it's quite shocking, there's also been name calling and comments verging on abuse which is quite common in people that don't have proper answers. p.s. at no time did I mention Nicola and the SNP, a prime example of not reading or understanding.
Walttortoise, I read the article from the British backed Herald, even the the last 4 paragraphs (surprised they even put them in). Wasn't talk of Oil and Gas all but dismissed in 2014 as part of project fear when all we heard was that it would run out in the next 5 years, seems strange (or convenient) that it's now a major part of Britain recovering. I think you should read a bit more and try to understand what is reserved and what is devolved. As long as Britain 'keeps' Scotland it also keeps her assets which include a lot more than Oil and Gas. At least we are agreed on youhavingalaugh and the comments coming from them, you may just have described them correctly.
Baxter1, it's nice that you opened up a new thread in your futile bid to trash anything Scottish. Scotland was once the envy of the world in shipbuilding but sadly that has fallen away and the ferry building has been very poor all round, maybe you didn't read or understand anything that was previously written - Scotland should be allowed to make it's own successes and failures. Do you think that it's ok to have a failed £37Billion track and trace system and be 'allocated' a %age of that cost, do you know that there are 1,000 Million in a 1 Billion (eg. £37,0000Million of public money), it kinda makes the Ferry fiasco look like chicken feed. If you pick and choose the bad things you will find them but if you look at the wider picture you will see that Scotland produces excesses in many areas (please reread as I don't want to keep repeating myself) and has far more resourses available than many other Independent countries, the only country within the UK that exports more than it imports. What is it you actually get from trying to bad mouth Scotland with your puerile comments? I won't even justify an answer to Walttortoise as they have just jumped on the bandwagon without any thought process at all.
Paddyboy1, the information is all out there but there seems to be a few people that want to try and belittle Scotland by using misinformation. They quote figures to 'prove' how bad we are but forget to add in all of the data, they also use the media (papers and tv) which are massively biased towards keeping the UK intact. Scotland is well able to look after itself but it's not all about money, Scotland should be able to manage itself and make its own successes and mistakes without being dragged down the UK road. A bit of common sense from some people wouldn't go amiss, the big question is why does Westminster fight so hard to 'keep' Scotland if it costs them so much, surely anyone would be glad to get rid of such an expensive basketcase. Oh, and why have they suddenly ramped up North Sea Oil production if it is of no value?
penman, eurofil, and still they come out with unsubstantiated nonsense eg. take your debt with you (we only have debt as part of the UK, Scotland has only recently been 'allowed' to borrow small amounts) but that's ok as we'll easily pay of our debts and will also take our assets like a proportional share of Gibraltar, Falklands, Cayman Islands etc, a share of every embassy in the world, a share of the Army, Navy, Air Force and many more things we have contributed to. Locks? - does that mean Lochs and yes there is more water in Loch Ness than all of the Lakes and waters in England and Wales combined, might just sell some of that instead of giving it away, same with electricity as we produce more of that than we need too, Forestry, Farming, Fishing etc. too..... I don't think there would be room for all of the worldwide Scots to come home, many Canadians are of Scots heritage and besides people have always emigrated to and from Scotland just as people from other countries do.
I haven't looked in for a while but see that there's still some people that still think Scotland would be the only country in the world to be unable to look after itself. I was was amused but then became dismayed that that the people of Scotland have so little faith in themselves that they would allow another country to gather their taxes, be grateful for some of it back, say it was a good thing and then blame the Scottish Government for any shortcomings. Scotland has never relied on the oil money and it's just as well as it mostly goes directly to Westminster, without the oil money Scotland would be wealthy country and with it Scotland would be a very rich country hence the reason Westminster wants to 'keep' Scotland. Scotland has many more resources at its disposal than most other Independent countries eg. electricity, fishing, farming, water etc.etc. We don't produce whiskey but do produce whisky which is the biggest 'british' export from Heathrow, the 2nd biggest 'british' export being Scottish Salmon. So many more positives to being a normal Independent country but not enough time or space to do it. Some proper research should be done and and by that I don't mean the british run media, as my Mother always said - don't believe everything that you read in the papers. - rant over!!!!
Thanks for clearing that up MaryBr190.
13TH MAY 2021 10:00 AM 'The Group has commenced taking orders and expects to begin delivering the kit in April.'
Which April do they mean?
Following the delisting of Gas Turbine Efficiency shares from AIM on 18th April 2011, the Company is giving shareholders the opportunity to buy or sell shares via a Matched Bargain Dealing Facility. Shareholders wishing to purchase additional shares or to sell their current holding should contact the office using the telephone number listed on this letter. Igot this notice today from my bank but have been unable to phone them yet - does anyone know the buy/sell prices that they are using?
Don't know how it works, I only know what I saw on my holding with RBS. Maybe there's time to deal for some amount of time afterwards or maybe my bank has got it wrong! Don't know whether to try & get rid of my shares or not. Pretty new to this too.
Just checked on my bank portfolio (RBS) & they state that corporate action has been taken & GTE are now de-listed. What happens now?
Thanks 475876, it looks like I've saved some money too. I would have bought in this morning without any forms. Don't know if I'll bother with the W-8BEN form at all, it all seems too much hassle. Pretty new at trading shares so I'm trying to make it as simple as possible.
I tried to buy AKR this morning but I have to fill out a W-8BEN form first - what's this all about? I haven't had this with any other shares I've bought. Any help would be appreciated.
