“ If we’d had a 2m sell it would be going the other way.…”

It was not only a late but also a delayed trade from previous day so almost impossible to call it, however we had a noticeable tick up prior to the avalanche ( for ZIOC ) of AT trades that continued the positive momentum throughout Thursday afternoon. For me it was a buy that had been executed over several days.

Bye bye …

“ Decom costs….” These change constantly as tax allowances alter, sell assets with liabilities or in deed acquire new assets with liabilities attached. So you can’t put much weight on liabilities as decom costs are fluid. Only really matters if we were to be T/O ourselves in the final deal

“I think about 12 billion is future decommissioning liabilities…”

Of which HMRC will need to pick up 100% of the bill for due to EPL forcing players out of business

We had a 5% pullback on close yesterday, so really looking at no more than a further loss of 2 or 3% today. Ideally flat close to cement yesterday gain would be welcome. Need our Buyer back this afternoon.

“ could this be the move we have been waiting for?”

Who knows, although we have seen this before only for the promising rise to fade ( oh err ) and for our SP to revert to normal !

We all know that one day it will have to happen, hopefully this time is the beginning of the end and say fond farewell to single digits forever.

Ditto for earlier 50k trades although it now appears trying to hide them and control the buying has been abandoned now..,👍

Multiple 40k automated and split into digestible trades due to lack of stock in fear of price rising too quickly.

Imo Trumps antics have increased our probability of been taken over.

Lack of progress is concerning, however I feel there is a reason why we have not be making headway and that reason is yet to show their hand. Intrinsically there is nothing wrong with HBR, far from it, others see that too, just a matter of time.

New contracts wouldn’t have been signed if they thought the company was going into suspension and comes out of in weaker position or worst administration. Mr Market simply have taken the opportunity to hang out to dry PI’s and play the books both ways.

Just hope the review due to close end of May sees the light in the need to “drill baby drill”

Ps atm I’m taking full advantage of global warming and slowly turning a nice shade of ruby red . ☀️

“ more to flush from where equity went in?”

Would need to be at least multiples of current SP imo for them to even consider selling. By which time news flow may of changed the risk profile for them and exit plan altered accordingly.

Would be a lot happier when we break and hold double digits, early / mid May would be my estimate.

Yesterday just shows what happens to our SP when we have even the slightest of demand.

Andy, think you need to drop it before you type something you’re likely to regret.

As expected, Trump upping the anti with Iran :

"Share price opened monday over 30p...."

lol,lol,lol, just shows what idiots are on this board, Monday, really !!!!

Trump's attention span is that of a goldfish and brains to match, however he loves to be the centre of attention and his a s s licked, so war with Iran will be his next pet project, if so watch WTI / Brent fly. However, without conflict and Trump doesn't ease off with the tarrifs, then yes, for a few months until OPEC+ decide enough is enough we could be range bound. Too many variables to make predictions, as they say on Stingray, "anything can happen in the next half hour".

aimo & dyor

Lol, you are so funny zebbo.

Question, why do you think consolidation is happening across NS atm ? Is it so companies can make a loss !

aimo & dyor

Arh, yes there's one, delayed reporting, more to follow !
