No nasty surpirses in Zephyr's RNS. So far, so good.

End of March is the key.

Once the test results are known in late March - there will be oil and gas savy investors who will want a reasonable stake in Zephyr shares i.e. upon the RNS of positive test results. For me, at that point, I will add to my Zephyr shareholding.

@Garonne. Did you say you have completely sell out of Prudential - is that right? Oh well at least you can get a good nights sleep. Take a look at term deposits with a bank 6 or 12 months will do. It's a better match for your investor profile as I don't think the ups and downs of the stock market are for you. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

As for JO, I'll definately stay invested with Prudential. Excellent potential upside here for reasons I have made known previously.

A very nice rise in the Capita share price today...indeed and somehat unexpected! I like Centrica - tucked away nicely. I call this stock my 'steady earner'. Capita offers slow and steady capital growth, dividends, buybacks. A safe bet. No plans to sell.

Good to see Wood Group share price finished up again today at .2910 up another 12.44% at COB today on the LSE. Very nice paper profit so far.

As I mentioned in one of my posts over the last day or two, Wood Group was completely oversold. I think I described it as 'a run on the bank'...all due to a poorly communicated RNS by an incompetent CEO.

Anyway, calmer heads (i.e. investors with common sense) will continue to prevail over the next couple of weeks and the share price will continue to steadily increase from these absurd lows.

To think on Friday, the Wood Group share was circa 65p...

Events (dumb sell-offs) of this type of magnatude are few and far between. It's times like this when it is important to keep calm...wait, and then be greedy (very greedy) when others are fearful. It's easy money. End of.

IMO of course. But what would JO know? Lol

@Cocobeans Thanks for the link to Wood Group update. Obviously it's business as usual at Wood Group.

@Stupmy - Just curious...

Did you take JO's advice late last night and buy Wood Group shares AM today? I think it was 25p-26p when I checked at 9.00-9.30am today.

Or do you still think AimMaster is right i.e. when she predicted that the Wood Group share price will drop to 19p?

Looks like the ping-pong game between Pokerchips and IceCool has made Pokerchips lose his marbles:

Pokechips said: 'The CEO buying at low prices ( that he helped cause) when all the other stakeholders are furious and sitting on losses and annoyed at being mislead? Bloody hell.... it would be like adding petrol to the fire ... .. if he buys at 30p ..they would take it down to 15p just to p*ss Ken off and have him in a loss too'

What an absurd statement from Pokerchips teh Wood Group discussion board's resident (and very desperate) de-ramper.

Obviously if the CEO purchased Wood Group shares then of course the share price would increase from 30p. It would NOT drop to 15p as Pokerchips says it will! Good grief. Pokerchips - what an idiot.

If I was the referee of the boxing match between IceCool and Pokerchips, I would have ended the fight after Round 3 and declared a win by technical knockout to IceCool! Lol

Good to see Wood Group's share price enjoyed a nice rise from 3.00pm at .2200p to .2588p at COB today on the LSE. The rise had to happen sooner or later (as 22p is ridiculous)... although I thought it would take a week to hit 26p. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Never a dull day when invested in Wood Group...like Woody Woodpecker's rat-a-tat-tat on a tree! Lol

@Icecool I too thought PokerChips was 'OK'...but not anymore. Just seems to be a somewhat bitter and twisted old man who clearly has an agenda against Wood Group for some reason. A very sad state of affairs indeed.

@Stupmy I cannot believe you completely sold out of Wood Group shares at 22p because AimMaster said it would drop to 19p. Is this a joke? I didn't read that Aimless predicted 19p...even Aimless would know Wood Group is far too much of a volatile stock to call with any certainty...which is why she always adds 'imho'. You should have listened to JO and added at 22p when I did...not sold out!!! Oh well it's not too late...maybe you can buy again tomorrow - the Wood Group share price is oversold and everyone knows it.

@NoFear Thansk for your comments about Close Bros. FYI In the end I did make a quiet trade (aka 'punt') on Close Bros and bought at £2.32 in early January (too cheap to ignore) and sold at £3.10 in late January. Despite the drop in Close Bros share price today, I won't invest anytime soon. I know far too much about the banking and finance world - there are real danger signs for Close Bros (and a few of their competitors), which means quite possibly a rocky road ahead! Best to avoid at this point. IMO

Steve Nicol is currently the COO of Wood Group. How about we all start a petition that he replaces the CEO with immediate effect?! Is it as silly as it sounds? Desperate times calls for desperate measures at Wood Group me thinks. Maybe someone ought to suggest the obvious to the Chairman and BODs.

I do wonder what Ken is up to today… I imagine he has a dash or two of whiskey in his latte today as he wanders about the office trying to look busy and keep spirits up! Lol

@Grezzz I have completely sold out of BAE now and that was my only stock in the defence sector. I tried to run a well diversified portfolio of stocks across a number of sectors. It’s worked well for me over the years.

@Garoone I was slated when I bought Prudential heavily at circa £6.00 by posters on the Capita discussion board of all places…mainly by a couple of my stalkers SavgeKeyboard and AimMaster… both of them have gone very eerily quiet on the Prudential subject now….funny that! lol

My advice is to ignore the noise and stick to what you know, as it always works out in the end.

I have enjoyed the ride with BAE over the last 4 years. But now it is finally it is time to part company on the rise today, as I see better investment opportunities elsewhere now. All sold out and considerable profit banked. Thanks for the memories BAE.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, the upswing will draw out the day traders and investors in big numbers. Either sit on the sidelines and watch or dive in and enjoy the ride up! Got to love this Wood Group stock!

Added more at .2195p… Just sayin’!

Coffee time now here at lovely Leon…

All these experts on my buy price and how many shares I have of Wood Group they have no idea! Lol

Anyway, I’m in Spain and about to have some Tapas!

Love you all!

Not quite sure why my buys are such a topic of discussion when the Wood Group share price is in obvious freefall Friday and today. All of my buys today were as eagerly snapped up as Fridays. No issue at all.

Personally I don't care what anyone's price is...no doubt they are plenty of long term holders underwater here (and I feel genuinely sorry for them). However, I find this Wood Group discussion board very toxic full of sharks ready to pounce on anyone who shares an opposite view or who has averaged down...

Well right now, I think this is a bargain, so I may well add again when/if it hits 19-20p.

I am waiting for the next Wood Group RNS to announce the CEO has vanished to the island in the Pacific called Samoa...or that a hostile takeover is in play...or an investor has bought out Wood Group and sacked the CEO and BOD...all of whom are useless idiots...and I made that clear when I sold at a large profit in December (only bought in November). I see the same kind of easy money now...

I know what I have bought PokerChips and I know my average is 25.5p.

Are you saying the £75K I bought on Friday is alot...?! What a chump. Lol

@Crossley Not hard at all. Only bought in late afternoon Friday with a few lightweight speculative trades, then added a couple of large orders today. Hence averaged down to 25.5p. Simple. In hindsight, I should have waited until now before I added (i.e. should have left Friday alone) but Wood Group is a weird stock to own up and down like a yo-yo, so worth the punt on Friday...not! Lol

Well I called the bottom at 26p, but it slid below to a touch below 24p, so another large top up locked in for JO. If it drops to 20-22p then happy days. Great chance for me to average down a tad further - although my average buy price is pretty decent at 25.5p now anyway.

Looks like there is support at 24p, so a recovery play will start to kick in at some point today 24p, 24.5p, 25p, 25.5p, 26p, 26.5p, 27p...when that starts lots of investors and day traders will come out of the woodwork...all waiting, all watching...ready to strike! And so they should - easy money to be made here at some point. The upside is substantial. It's not every day that a stock gets booted around from pillar to post. All of which is a reflection of the incompetent CEO.

Of course, what is needed is an RNS to be released to say the 'CEO has lost his marbles and has been pushed out by the weak and inept BOD'. When/if that happens, the Wood Group share price will turbo-boost! Lol

@Garonne Just sell out and relax. You're far too much of a worrier to be an investor in the stock markets. Also, you don't listen to JO enough.

I've already pointed out the Prudetial shatre price is up over £1.30 in a month in line with my expectations.

You should be a happy chappy!

So sell out and have a good night sleep.
