How was that for a ramp?

I feel a bit more confident about this now; larger than normal buybacks, big dividend looming, a cap on the levy being negotiated as we speak, the shorters will have to consider exiting soon won't they?

They know this, role on 13th April!
'Short sellers aren't entitled to dividend payments from the shares they've borrowed. In fact, the value of any dividends paid will be deducted from short-seller's account on the pay date and delivered to the stock's owner.'

I remember selling the lot at 492p thank you. I have bought some more at the bottom and my average is below 300p. I am happy to wait.

One of the reasons I think the shorters have increased their position slightly is because they might know something we don't. Having been through the SQZ thing and seen how their board totally stitched up existing shareholders, it wouldn't surprise me if HBR announce some sort of merge or acquisition. Linda though would not ignore some sort of shareholder return in the deal. The shorters might be reckoning on a complete shafting like what happened with SQZ. I have faith in Linda to do the right thing for shareholders.

If I say one thing the opposite happens (hopefully), with the exception of the WFT thing.

Headline:
UK government expected to offer energy companies windfall tax relief
Lower fuel prices spur hopes the levy will be reformed as sector is being encouraged to invest in new projects

A few snippets:

"Britain’s oil and gas companies are next week expected to be offered the prospect of windfall tax relief, as prime minister Rishi Sunak looks to boost investment and improve the country’s energy security."

"Ministers have been discussing with the sector a promise that the 35 per cent windfall levy on profits would cease to apply if energy prices fell below a specified “normal” long-term level."

"People briefed on discussions between industry and the Treasury said Hunt was looking at a price floor so that the levy would not apply if energy prices fell below a certain level."

wait for the shorters to start dumping any time now...

Brent $76, NG +7% SP sure to collapse!

I have an each way bet on SYN and IOG, things could happen with both of these in the near future.

They have to do something with the WFT with the prices as they have been and likely to be, apart from lock up Miliband, Then we'll see our shorty friends run for the hills hopefully.

The short positions have increased again recently. When are we going to see the buyback and common sense prevail? I know that if I sell (or buy) during the day it's going to do the opposite so I rend to do nothing! I am hoping there is some credence in this WFT deal being brokered this week.

Wait for it, big end of day sell off about to begin......

Filtered jefffff, thought this was about HBR not cow manure

The Financial Times reported that ministers are set to offer energy firms relief on windfall taxes.
A Whitehall source confirmed the plans, which will be set out by the Energy Security Secretary Grant Shapps, will focus on bringing down wholesale electricity prices in the UK and reducing energy bills for consumers and businesses.
The Financial Times reported that ahead of this, ministers have been holding talks with energy firms about adjusting the windfall tax if oil and gas prices dropped below a certain level.
