Of course, Double: I know you aren't French!
It's nice of you to be a peaceful invader.
Can't say the same for the French.
They weren't very peaceful in 1066.

'There's nothing wrong with living in a shed btw. Who needs a 5 bedroom house?'

Precisely!
Take me, for example: I live in a five-bedroom shed.

The company announces suddenly that it has moved its office and immediately the share price falls 44p.

Investors are obviously convinced that the old office was found to be heavily-contaminated by the Corona Virus.

"Reckon a certain someone might have humble pie for le petit dejeuner."

Seems rather heavy to me.

The French prefer croissants, n'est-ce-pas?

I agree.
Italy has failed to make a new high in terms of daily fatalities for the fifth successive day.
It could make a new high today, but eventually it will peak.
China's recovery rate has passed 90 percent and South Korea's is approaching 50 percent.
In France, although the death rate jumped yesterday, the recovery rate is almost 17 percent.
The mass media will milk this story.
It's their best story since Bin Laden's gift on 9/11.

One HUR employee contracts CV and the share price falls by one pence when other oil stocks are stable.
I wonder what would happen if twelve more fell ill.

Meanwhile, South Korea's recovery rate has been soaring, and is now approaching fifty percent, and in France, although the fatality rate jumped yesterday, the recovery rate has reached nearly 17 percent, which also suggests that recoveries are outpacing new fatalities.

I was at a loss to imagine how the quality (if that's what it is) of chutspah could be of use in poker.
It has nothing to do with bluffing and being impudent (which is the closest word in English) wouldn't get one anywhere in poker, either.
I too looked it up and discovered that although it entered American English via Yiddish and Hebrew, it was originally an Aramaic word, so presumably Jesus of Nazareth was familiar with it.
Not sure what he would have made of AIM, but I imagine he would have called it 'a den of robbers'.

It is hard to believe that the share price is down 75 percent in two months.
Assuming Wressle production is unimpaired and the oil price recovers, it looks as though the P/E ratio would be no more than two, which has to be cheap.

I can hardly see anything in the RNS that hadn't already been aired here recently by knowledgeable posters, except that some posters had underestimated the net cash by more than 100p per share.

It seems that the share price has risen by more than 100p either because people have only just learned what we already knew, or because the RNS did not contain any of the horrors which people nowadays are expected to expect.

That's an excellent price.
You must have a good broker.
Mine usually gets me better prices than indicated, but last time offered me 60p against 55p indicated.
I had to wait/waste a long time to get it at 55p.
By the way, welcome to the JOG club.
When JOG shares take off, they fly.

Assuming the figure on worldometers is the final one of the day, Italy has failed to make a new high in daily deaths for the fourth successive day.

Time to waste or time to wait?

Are you talking about JOG or Barclays?

I meant,
'No more boom and bust!'

With apologies to Blair.

I'm old enough to remember the 1987 stock market crash (and the hurricane that preceded it).
Every weekday, a chilling signature tune which introduced the hourly news bulletin on LBC radio, would be followed by a female announcer, in a doom-laden voice, announcing:
'Share prices are falling on the London Stock Exchange again'

It was a great opportunity to buy quality stocks at cheap prices, but she didn't mention that.

I also remember the journalists repeating the mantra, following 9/11: 'The world will never be the same again!'

Have you noticed any great changes?
I mean, could you get on a 'plane in the 1980s or 1990s without going through a security check?
Now, apparently, the world is going to change again, with oil prices perpetually low, economies perpetually in recession, and Corona viruses regularly bringing everyday life to a standstill.
An economist relative of mine said, in response to Blair's laughable prediction of 'No more boom or bust!'
"Oh! He's going to abolish economic cycles - is he?"
and just as Blair's boom ended in an almighty bust, this bust is going to end in a boom of some kind.
I'm not in favour of the growth of the world's human population, but it has never stopped growing, and it needs energy.
I've seen this so many times, with experts being quoted as though they are clairvoyant.
If it hadn't been for the Chinese messing about with bats, and MBS going batty, this wouldn't have happened.
It's a great time for the media, social media and TSDs to spread gloom.
If you hear Goldman Sachs say that they had over-estimated how long it would take for the oil demand and supply to be 're-balanced' then you will know we are on our way.

Yes.
I've been singing its praises on both the JOG and HUR forums since I started buying at 215p.
48p is the bid ; 51p is the offer price.
IMHO, it's a very good idea, and would be an even better idea at 40p or 30p, which will possibly happen if oil collapses again.

Those of us who are still holding all our HUR shares, without having top sliced, are all basket cases, Double.
May I offer an explanation for Daltry's considerable longevity?
He may have been in a deep freeze previously, but mistakenly set the timer to defreeze several decades later than intended.
I myself got frostbite, which is my excuse for being online and commenting so often - the other being an AIM anxiety neurosis.
And in future, Double, I expect to be referred to as plain LONGWAIT.
Pas de virgules inversées, s'il vous plaît!

I suppose that if I thought otherwise, I would not be publishing my opinion because of LSE rules, but in my considered opinion, you are not an idiot!

'A passenger who died on a bus in China has tested positive for a completely different virus than COVID-19 — one more fatal that often produces very similar symptoms, according to state-run media.'

More fatal?

As Basil Fawlty would say, 'I'd say Corona Virus is pretty fatal - wouldn't you?'

Good points, jh and JAdam, although I had seen them raised in articles online.

I'm wondering how a death of someone who had tested positive for the virus but died of something else is going to be categorised; it can't be under 'total deaths' nor under 'recovered.'

I would also point out that there have been cases recently of people without symptoms testing positive.
If only people with symptoms are tested, then others could be missed.

Don't forget Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, Double:

“The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday—but never jam to-day.”

Just about sums up my experience of investing in HUR!
