Well here is an undervalued stock if ever I saw one. Turmoil is all a load of hogwash. That's just an excuse for speculators to roll out their short bets.

I agree. This is a strategic investment, long term, sound, in a mature market with growing demand for energy. BG will do well with this one.

Far more people would buy this stock if the spread wasn't so daunting. I thnk that's how the majority stockholders want it. A quiet stock, slowly brewing. In this stock, you invest, and just leave.

Everything has gone a wee bit quiet on this board. Well, no speculations or prediction from me on this occasion. I am sure this company will bounce back. The declines in share price are market influenced, as all stocks have broadly sunk with the moodiness of the markets. There are some among us of the view (me included recently) that the Euro builders in Brussels will allow speculators to smash their dream. This is an illusion on a grand scale. The only ones who will get smashed in this battle of wills are the markets. So I for one am not betting against the Euro clud in Brussels. They have a dream, and these guys measn busiiness. Good luck to all and lets hope this stock rises in price soon to its mature level above 150.

I think we all need a strong drink after this past week's rout. Clearly, the markets were intoxicated and doing a great impression of a random walk, eventually toppling over to sleep off the hangover. It will be a long dreaming weekend, but but to business next week, methinks! - Anyone read Dostoievsky 'Crime and Punishment' lately? I am thinking of reading it for the third time.

It seems that Greece may be persuaded to park outside the Euro for the forseeable future, and market fears are not assuaged by the blundering attempts at ta fiscal recue of Greece. - The mature and politically and financially sensible thing to do is to offer Greece a rational exit strategy from the Euro, until they are able to qualify for membership (in effect, rejoin the candidate countries list which include Poland, Hungry, etc.) If this happens, over the coming weekend say, then markets will bounce back up sharply.

I hope you did not mind me reading your other posts. I wanted to get an overview in order to see how much weight to attach to your opinions. When you consider, really, terrible catastrophes, like world wars, for example, the 'shock' we are presently passing through is a trivial affair. I have a broad range of assets - property, cash and shares, and my view is that the world will not come to an end. As Keynes once remarked, there was only one person on the planet (at the time) who understood what money was, and he was some tenured civil servant in the Treasury who gets his kicks growing daffodils and bluebells. I, in the not too distant past, suffered from a certain 'self-centeredness' or how can I say, obsessive self-belief in everything prognostication I made. I lost a lot of money and opportunities as a result. The stock market is like a tide, is comes in, and pulls out, in and out. Like a game, if you will. And that game will not come to any end as far as I can see. People are manifetly problem solvers, and this is what I cam guided by. - I very much welcome your opinions, as I always seek a broad overview of what people think. As with geometry, you can draw any path with or from a single point. You need a least two. - Good luck with your investing.

There is no rationale to the present slide, and what we see is pure speculatation and manipulation. It would be tiresome were if not for the fact that I bought at a higher price, but this is how the game is played. This is a solid stock, and will bounce.

You have a peculiar view of the markets, and governments, in general, and I see you think we are on the cusp of total economic collapse. While I share some of the caveats voiced regarding the uptick in economic activity, fundamentally the world will not come to an end. It is a fact that the human mind, when pushed into crisis mode, will, if need be, bluff its way out. We may have experienced that to some extend with all the 'funny' money (a la quantitative easing) but this at most will lead to an inflationary shcok. However, this will pass. The bankers, and negligent regulators, with the collusion of governments, led to the present debacle, but the world will not come to an end. There are dangers if we grow too fast, similarly if there is no growth at all. But an imminent collapse? --- No, that I don't agree with. Pullbacks? Yes. Rallies? Yes. - In short, nothing has really changed, and that is THE ultimate fact we have to contend with. Good luck with your investing.

I stand corrected, AIM stock is ineligible for the most part. The only way round that is to add stock from a premier FTSE company (like 3i) who hold shares in these small fry. That will take a bit of reseach, though! - As for PIM, it is oscillating rather wildly at present so I personally will stand back and wait until that spread narrows considerably, or at least to something approaching rational risk values.

PIM had a nice lift today, and it is a nifty little company in several appealing ways. But it is no Monsanto, alas!

AAL suffered from profit taking on the mining/resources sector. This is a blip. Far more important for the company is the competence of the management to steer this company forwards.Recource stocks have solid fundamentals to back them up, unlike property, for example, or financials.

A share ISA is a share ISA - you can put your grandmother in there if you commoditize her. - Regarding the spread, that has to narrow, or simply wait for the dips (if you believe they will happen).

This whole thing is a charde. It is nothing but a gang of profit takers. This is no more to do with the Greeks than there are aliens in a bottle of Guiness. Profit taking. That's all. Hold on to this stock. It will rise more than you imagine.

This stock appears to have flat-lined of late, and the spread is really discouraging trade in this stock. It seems to be more at the mercy of its own talented staff to produce the goods. You have to believe in this one to stay the course. On a personal note, I do like this company a lot, and would position some stock into an ISA for a long term hold, but will wait and watch for a narrow spread that the current one.

This is as depressing as it gets .This share should be at 1250, and no choice but to wait it out. Crazy when you think some companis shares are going up when they already have a P/E over 42!!! And they don't have a fraction of the fundamental assets that BG has. It just goes to show!

Well, I understand you point and I accept that. I leave it to the Kazakhs to solve any problems in their country. Good luck to you and your country.

The manner in which this stock traded today showed the low-down speculators seized on to this one and pounded it for short-term gain.

Following the encouaging stake in QQ. by the American investors, the stock seems to be drifting a wee bit of late. It seems to reflect the changes that must result in the company structure. Mr Jake's comments of the 'Civil Servent's' mentality and ethos is probably being played out and, hopefully, weeked out by the current management. This will take time and patience is called for.

We are experiencing some jitters with PIM at present. The stock went sweetly up, and then down. I think we need to focus on fundamentals here as only be the speculators are the actors taking the stock price for a spin.
