In a little over a month the OP has dropped from $86 (rounded) on 3/10 to current $69.70 (rounded). that's c.19% fall. Even allowing for sp moves on boyos charts one would expect G to fall which it has and tracked the fall in OP % for %.....G off c.18%. Oil opened up at $66.60 at beginning of the year so the OP is just c.5% up ytd, G still up 95p or 88% ytd which I would be more than pleased with if I had bght back then....which of course I didn't.

Nothing for me as I'm out of G last wk. If they move sub 200 I might be forced to buy back in short term as this seems the only way to make a few quid as opposed to buy and hold and lose a few quid. Good luck to those holding long and strong. It didn't work for me so you should be on firmer ground if the chips fall your way. Morning all.

Not for Owen Glendower it aint.. he was the last Prince of Wales...as far as i'm concerned (sorry William) who defied the English rule of Wales. Ok Charlie boy despite your investiture at Caernarfon Castle you have never embraced the Welsh heritage of your forebarers (oh yes they were of Welsh blood) No worries but don't come high and mighty over Offas Dyke the barrier that kept the the Romans the Anglo Saxons at bay until the Severn Bridge opened the causeway to trade and Wales beating England at Rugby....heh heh heh!! You might become King of England but never Wales.

Def a sense of bearishness about G and the oil mrkt in particular....anyone remember the $100+ oil that was a certainty / going to happen once Iran sanctions bit?.... Yea right! Did anybody factor in demand falling/gap being filled with US oil at peak? Just too many variables for pis Joe to calculate and that's the simpletons (my view). Decided earlier while on R&R to sell, (promise not after the event) to lock in a very small profit on the basis if I don't snatch it...you will. I just Cannot define Trump and oil atm which makes any investment here a toss of the coin bet and I usually call the wrong way...So like comeonvog once again on the sidelines waiting for goodness knows what? One thing I do know I shan't be trying to add to my 3/4 small miracle..(UP trades) in G anytime soon. So I quit slightly in front hoping for better days ahead....though US mrkts seem to be discounting a lot of negatives heading their way... Now seems a good time to 'chill' back and wait. Afternoon boys.

No need for the sniffer dogs bunks...still on my R&R (**pe & recuperation) what American G'is used to call their 'break' from the Vietnam war in the 60's) mostly in Bangkok. Though in my case obviously not the former.... 'R'. Planning to be back next week all being well on a 'now & then' basis. Morning all.

Wall St poor start took the shine of London's ftse & All, both lower at close. The 250, S/caps & Aim finished positively on the day. London had started out with a bang on back of some stellar rises in the Far East but ytd nos are negative across all indices. The Nikkei up over 550, Hang Seng surging 1070 & SH adding 70 all on hopes of Trump and X1 Jinping reaching an agreement on trade, "very good progress has been made" says Trump. Ytd no Asian mrkt is in the black. Once again trade was the driver of US stocks all 3 indexes gaining on the week though slipping on Friday as conflicting messages from the White House took the shine off equities. Trumps top economic advisor said their was little hope of a deal with China. Pity they cannot agree their messages to the mrkts. The Dow fell 110, S&P off 17 & the Nsdq down 77. Even some very good economic nos had little effect on the mrkts. Wages up 3%, unemployment at a 48 year low and 250.000 new jobs added in October all went under the radar. Ytd the Dow is back in the black (+2.2%) the 500 (+1.8%) & Nsdq (+6.6%). The nos: Oil $72.83. Gold $1234. £$ 1.297. £€ 1.139. Coin $ 6355. Vix 19.51. MSCI u/c 490 (+3% on wk). G +17 & Gkp +1 on wk. Morning all.

F...me am i the only one who tunes into a freeview channel only to see a bloody advert (no smart arse TV for me). I ask cos i have researched this extensively over the last week and on surfing the channels 5- 1500 at a random time hitting a CH mid programme not showing an advert is 80-1 against at best....actually more like 90-1 really. That's fine cos I tune out pronto!....why do I bother? I'll tell you why cos I bet 50p a spin its a bloody advert. Guess whose winning...so far? Now that may not be a matter of national importance, but it sure bloody is to me, wasting my time surfing the advertisementsphere is just plain stupid...i know that now. Apologies for the rant, i overstayed my welcome down me local like.... and one gets steamed up over such silly things. Thats it from me this week. I'm hoping to travel back to Wales tom if the sodding trains are running (they aint to the the cabbage patch)* so see you hale and hearty whenever. * to the unitiated that's Twickenham...

Oops... my post redumdant (a slup of the tongue...heh heh heh.), Not sure next wk is is paramount in the future direction of G but we need to see......well, you know what.

About time u won bunks (did you?)....well done! Your on the spot for a few words of wisdom. Here's an old one its not that you don't know what to do, it's more like what you do next, that's the problem ...... You can expand on that..... for an G promo advert.

FFS...Sony (non movie channel) are showing another disaster movie I saw last Wed and Fri and the year before or perhaps 2015...jeeeez I dunno know anymore. This crap (taking the viewer for morons)...is being wiped out by N/flix etc.. and not before time! Ok it's a subscription channel but a hell of a lot better than watching the rubbish from Sky and until a free sub service arrives....will rule the airwaves.

H..you in the same pub as me..? Ok for sure not..Grandma's running about scantilly clad....oooh!....you have made my day!

G no 356 at £606m. Gkp no 388= at £498m. Automatic exit position from ftse 250 is £558.3m.

It's ok to burn Boris but not to take the mick out of vegans. One could be considered a hate crime the other a joke. Us Brits used to have a sense of humour and Waitrose... get a life ffs!

Bouncing $73.20...

Runners in with a realistic chance by close are...drum roll please! without (215), jandialbii (219), broadland (220) & bunks (222), Boyo (225), Kevin H (229) & DHC (230)......forget the rest.

Ftse off 13 (7115) the rest up... the 250 jumping 254 on a largely lacklustre day. BOE kept rates at 0.75% but Carney hinted of rises should a smooth Brexit be realised. Sterling dented some of the big ftse overseas earners. Top gainer was BT on upbeat outlook though oils were off RDSB (earnings miss) stock fell 3% and BP down c.5% (OP off 2.5%). A better day for US stocks rising from the bell but tailed off sideways for the afternoon session. The S&P added 29 (3rd straight), Dow put on 264 and the techs 128 (ex Apple's 7% slump after hours). Progress on trade being the change in sentiment. Trump and X1 Jinping said to have had cordial talks and further meetings are set for November in an attempt to resolve differences. On the economic front jobless claims (210.000) are at hisroric lows and non farm productivity growth grew at 2.1% ahead of consensus. Worries re the mid term elections are to date being ignored by investors as if the Democrats regain the H of R that could spell trouble for Donald. Apple's stock fell 7%+ after hours on disappointing rev forecasts through to 2019. Apple shares are up 32% over 12 months and it's I Phone business showed a healthy 29% increase in revs, particularly strong on mainland China. Overall Apple exceeded expectations but Q4 increases of just 5% disappointed. The after hours trading in Apple is expected to knock the Dow 110 on Friday. In Asia stocks are surging, HK up 600+ for a 2 day gain of 1000 (casinos & properties) the Nikkei adding 360 (autos/telecoms) and SH up 31 (insurers & brokerage houses) mostly on back of trade talks "moving along nicely". Apple component suppliers were largely unaffected by Apple's late fall. The nos: Oil $ 73.02. Gold $ 1235. £$ 1.299. £€ 1.139. Coin $ 6371. Vix 19. FF +78 & DF up 125. Morning all.

With G's EV tracking mrkt cap at c. 230p hydrogen, your looking for a 200% uplift from here to reach your price. With the best will in the world i cannot see that as being realistic. However as I have absolutely no effn idea how to value G or any other stock your probably bang on the money. Why no low / high ball offers have been made is another conundrum. There has to be a reason but I'm damned if I can make a sensible guess.

Why would one buy a dog like G, when you can buy TUL with a couple of $bn debt?

$74.58...G down on DNO good news as it would...
