I have watched the tiger hedge fund for several years....whether they go long or short...mirror their moves....I've not seen them lose yet.....shorting this now may prove painful....even after a 4% hike today..

Don't hold and never had. But best wishes to those that do......

Current check of short tracker shows 0% on Barclay's with a NAV of > £2.80. Good luck with shorting this..... Unloved it definitely is, on the ropes it is not.

Zero trades today ?

Do seem to have waltzed through this week completely un scathed....ended the week up...tarts!!

I ended up having lunch with an EX-BP oil trader on Thursday as part of a group. Picked his brains over their POO predictions. He said the $60 prediction given by BP after their last results was very conservative and designed to help them under promise and over deliver and provide a strong buffer for any unforeseen headwinds. He said behind closed doors internally as a company they are targeting an average of $75 per barrel within 12 months. He was keen to state that this would fluctuate + or - a few bucks and he personally thought $80 was probably more likely due in the main to the number of huge projects getting mothballed, plugged and scrapped entirely world wide by the big players . He said by next summer people will be thinking differently about oil in general . Only met him for 2 hours but seemed knowledgeable and realistic.....interesting guy......... I guess it will only help us if we can get the bloody stuff out of the ground!!

see their share price is up 1%....b******s

Haven't these boys got a really bad record on filing accounts on time?? I note they are " working towards" the report due later this week.....get the kettle on!

Just bought in...outsourcing will be pretty huge with this government committed to reducing drastically public sector functions
