So what happened over the weekend to make you create a thread with such a provocative downbeat title? You're peed off, we get it.....but have you never heard of suffering in silence?

Christ almighty.....depression central here today

Cobalt doing a splendid job of setting the tone.....why on earth are you still here if you feel this way?

Well today is going to be an early test of the point I made yesterday....

Hopefully the large upward push of a $15 jump in Brent vs the downward pull of general brown trousers in the market (ftse futures off 120 as I type)

Gonna be interesting!

Whilst ever rising oil/gas prices will exert a strong upward push on HBR, the effect of wider market shake out should not be ignored. Sooner or later there could be a panic based on inflation spiking or the harm being done to world growth. As seasoned campaigners will know, in a genuine correction everything gets sold off, its just a question of degrees

I would be happier to see a controlled, consistent price of $85-95 than one that spikes to say $125 and starts a panic

Should hopefully be a very good time for HBR re getting debt down etc, but keep an eye on the big picture

Considering the financial and economic carnage being generated around the world this week, I will defo settle for dull

Well GLG reduced again on 03.03

Be interesting to see if theres are any material change if/when they report for the rest of the week

Sorry "abnomally awful UT" I meant to say

DK2020

Actually its practically unchamnged now on last nights bid/offer....only the abnormally awful is distorting things

Its has the whiff of skullduggery about it I must admit

Glad you see it too :)

Having spiked this morning, I bet theyve been leading the sell down, all the while improving their short positions stats

In light of this mornings reaction, if there was a leak yesterday, the abnomal drop looks even more peculiar. Unless of course it was engineered somehow to give GLG a little pain relief on their short?

Cant wait for some fickle souls on this board to begin moaning about 40% hedging at $71 lol

Remember hindsight is always 20/20!

......and of course no one in the city got an early read of the accounts yesteday. The highly abnormal drop was pure coincidence!

I think its a pathetic indictment of this country's oil and gas policy, that in an otherwise very good set of results, $10bn+ of revenut, ends up as a $200m loss after tax.

(Yes Ive talked of this before, and no im not negative on HBR. This countrys leaders on the other hand.....)

Okay Im stupid....please explain how share buyback sare included in my shareholder return, if I dont sell my shares

(its early so excuse my reduced brain activity)

So its all good and positive save for the (ludicrous but expected) tax charge and the divi reduction. Hopefully this will have been enticipated....we shall see with fingers crossed

Well given previous experiences on results days, I hope our shorting chums wont try and use tomorrow as a means of reducing their currennt pain....

Was a very un-typical day in the circumstances, and that UT was horrible.

Erm....okay :)

Did you realise my post was a tongue in cheek response to the previous days hysterics on here?

This random site I googled suggests you are correct

Wow what a stupendous performance relative to the wider market. Up 5% when FTSE is down 330 pts.... SEE must be the best stock ever!

Seriously, its the bid/offer you have to watch, not the headline +/- which can be distorted by a wide spread . Its a bit more normal today

Yeah that seems more reasonable....thx for the swift reply
