..really hope nobody listen to my predictions.

yes sure no debit no hedging, but I wonder how strong a tentation would be to hedge a lower prices, after realising that the service and expertise given to HBR, is not making them rich beyond their dreams...
In particular I didn't like the latest financials numbers and the ability to move fcf in to deferred taxation.......
What was that all about?

wowwww.........
anyway, in order of importance for mid long terms HBR needs to stop hedging its production, this will come very good few years down the line.
On hedging (this comes only from my paranoid conspiracy theory mind) I am not so sure how the BoD will behave.
Recent PMO acquisition (now HBR) came from a US outfit belonging to the finance/hedge world. If I was setting out to milk a cow (HBR) and transfer cash from shareholders to my friends in the financial world, I would hedge to infinity....
Then indeed there is POO. Not so sure how valid is technical analyses for POO, with OPEC+, geopolitics and other forces in the way, possibly tech are least important factor.
IMO general thinking is that with rate rise coming to a halt, the economies will stop shrinking and the USD stop appreciating, all good news for POO, then there is always OPEC.

Hummm higher profit on credit cards works only if there is economic growth, how that is ging to happen with rate rise is a mystery.
They say the definition of madness, is a person doing the same thing again and again end expecting a different outcome.
It remind me of banking and the concept of interest rate.

Also US Jobless Claims may support U$D, is likely that to push gold at higher levels, the market needs very convincing increase of jobless claims. Anything around previous levels won't do.
IMO

Deutsche Bank came out with good numbers
later on the day expected US GDP forecasted at 2% from previous 2.6%.
IMO a bit too low and likely to be beaten hence gold may be ready for a retrace lower...

by any chance are you also one of Linda mates?
I mean, no doubt Linda and Co are doing everything they can to destroy HBR share price.
In that I could even see some good reasons considering the share buy back program in place, although it does benefit most (funny enough) those that on top of awarding themselves shares, get also paid for it...you guessed is the BoD.
But I very much doubt that the BoD of HBR is involved in trading or shorting HBR, because imo their incompetence does already a very good job to suppress the sp.

Steve on bitcoin
Here's another one from investing.com- I hope this comes true lol.
I wont invest too much money on it, if any at all....

Right slater606
believe it or not mine was a genuine question. Your reply make me think that you are a bit biased in a negative way towards HBR.
No doubt the WT has f@ked up the whole NS Oilers sp, but possibly at one point one as to sit down take a look at the sp and start to wonder if and when this has been priced in already?!
No point in going round like a broken record repeating the same things...
Is latest RNS are short closing it should be taken in a positive way, together with sp been close to support.
In other words the past is the past, if one is really ****@d of maybe should be going to shout at those that introduced the TW ?
Anyhow isn't HBR due a quarterly update soon? Also on POO can't see OPEC in any mood to increase production and possibly the opposite..

Though you may be interested.

So much talks of BRICS creating a currency possibly pegged to gold...
So far though they have made many bi-lateral trading agreements, with goods exchanged in their own currency.
I am not so sure how this is going to work...for example good exchanged between India and China, India buying some Lithium from China, will the price reference be taken from a Western market, U$D exchange denominated currency, or decided by the seller accordingly to its own market pricing?
How are they going to square up the opportunity to sell at higher price, in a U$D denominated market?
And in the case of creating their own currency (BRICS) which will price all goods exchanged in that market, what will be the reference parameters? If gold they will have to rely solely on their market, because that currency would become too expensive for BRICS countries to export to the rest of the world. They could create a BRICS currency pegged to the U$D with a variable exchange rate which changes, accordingly to economic circumstance...In this care there will be an exchange rate war between the Fed and the BRTICS bank, direction possibly would be a race on how prints more money.
Interesting times, but imo for now what's happening is just China trying to take advantage of geopolitical circumstances, with no intention what so ever to commit to anything that is not for its advantage....

Have to say agree and happy that central banks drop $ and buy gold, wise divesting at times when Fed rate is halting and especially because the combination of high inflation and high rates is choking the US economy.
But not just the US, dangers of defaults on debit are surfing all over the western world, for example I learned that Volkswagen is about to take on some $300 billions in debit, in trying to catch up with the EV wagon and not considering the internal combustion car assets they will have to write of...
But for U$D to lose its global currency status, have the feeling that gold wont be part of the equation, but a simple side effect of USA foreign policies including indeed sanctions.
The BRICS countries to create their own commune currency and challenge directly the U$D, they would have to value this currency, against a financial and economic equation among these countries, which take in consideration their current exchange rate against possibly the U$D itself. If they peg it against gold they would not have and metrics of comparison with the rest of the world with witch they also trade. Also pegging against gold would run the risk of creating a currency becoming too expensive for exports...
So far they have been doing only bi-lateral trade agreements which on its own doesn't challenge the U$D but rather is creating many discrepancy in commodities pricing....This also is a side effect which I am not so sure how will evolve within BRICS and around the wider world economies...Interesting times

BT no hard feeling mate...
Is just that for investment purpose, for example if you like to know if a company will be paying dividend one day and for comparisons with other peers, for a PE ratio is used Net Profit.
If you take EBITDA it could well be that at the end of the year the company is not making any money.
Another useful metrics is free cash flow

Hi anyone able to explain?
Are they maybe some shorts closing?
Less % of voting rights through financial instruments (total of 8.B 1 + 8.B 2)
and more % of voting rights attached to shares (total of 8.A) ????

Hi
Have been reading many comments and valuation on HUM.
I am invested in PAF and for comparison before deciding to buy HUM, I was trying to compare the two...
Looking at the balance sheet, Hum has much bigger debit than PAF, I have considered only Property, Plants and Equipment together with current assets and subtracted total liabilities and from last data available PAF come up at $280 millions versus HUM at $20 millions. These are very rough calculations just to make a sense of market cap difference.
What it means is that (280-20=260) PAF market cap is valued $260 millions or some £200 millions more than HUM.
Has PAF MC is £350-200= £150 should be the fair MC valuation comparison of HUM, which is roughly double today sp.
Where I am stuck is on the disproportional amount of reserves that PAF has compared to HUM, and the fact that PAF is already achieving 200k/oz production whereas HUM has to incur much higher costs during ramp-up till and of this year, when they will be reaching commercial rate production...
By the way a PE multiple of 4 for HUM, can be considered on Net Profit and not EBITDA, in which case $70millions would become maybe £30 millions and x 4 would make a sp of 20p . Is likely though that the market would grant a slightly higher PE ratio, if POG keeps up, in which case would also be good for bottom line Net Profit.

Steve is likely your interpretation of meaningful is different from mine.
I am not pretending you follow my advises, also because half of my posts are more questions than advises.
Initial Jobless claims out at 1.30pm.

lol
Steve I don't recall saying that....but is possible.
Maybe was at the time JPMorgan came out with results?
Then again the bottom line there was some 10% less retail deposits imv....
I mean after central banks came out with the idea to buy its own debit, anything is possible, even for USD and POG to follow each other direction.

IMV wait and watch still best action.

Is likely coming 25bps rise plus ending of Indian Gold purchases season (to a lesser extent) will keep gold price under pressure for a while.
USD not making any meaningful move up right now, can be interpreted even more bearish for POG.
Again all eyes on next key economic data for directions, one thing is sure though (imo) USD destiny is downward.

What a shame
He could have told the market that Okyo Pharma was looking to mine medicines, in a highly prospective license.
