FOTH seems to be a rather shy and retiring kind of guy!

We all have our own interpretations, hasiba.

Personally, think it's a question of unintended consequences, that MBS underestimated Putin's determination not to increase production cuts and Putin underestimated MBS's reaction.

We know, from the near-30% of issued capital turned over on the day of the Annual report and CPR RNSs last week, that potential buyers of ANGS are out there, waiting for the moment to come into the stock.

In 2008, there was a lack of confidence in the survival of the financial system.

This time, in the US, it needs Trump to act in a statesmanlike manner to help shore up confidence (Carney and Sunak having done their bit in the UK today).

Shouldn't be:

in 2008, the financial system froze up, none of the big players knowing which of their counter-parties might be the next to shut up shop.

Not the problem this time (although there are others!).

Think it was banned for financial stocks in London for a while.

Any sign of FOTH today?

... He (Novak) added that Russia is engaging in a lot of phone calls with OPEC and non-OPEC members, but that no partners have agreed to Russia’s proposal for current oil output cuts to remain unchanged.

Do we have a forced seller on our hands?

Someone who is obliged to sell because they are over-extended.

Some better lines of stock going through.

Volume now 37.7m on advfn.

The current arrangements end on 31/03, so there is still the time to arrive at some kind of a deal or to agree on another meeting.

Don't know what to make of that, Njr87 - the e-mail referenced in your post goes back to the end of January, that re Angus is of early March.

Looks like a big effort is being made to bring Russia back to the negotiating table (but I can always be mistaken, of course).

The battle for control of the global oil market intensified again on Wednesday as Saudi Arabia promised to increase production capacity and the United Arab Emirates said it plans to pump as much as possible next month...

Yet Moscow, which has nowhere near the quantities of untapped production held by the Gulf states, has also tempered its message, saying it remains open to resuming cooperation...

A Russian response could come as early as Thursday, when Energy Ministry officials meet oil company executives. They will discuss output plans and the market situation, Novak said...

cn100 has just posted this message on the Angus board, together with supporting site reference:

Confirmation that the hearing for planning will go ahead on 24th March 2020.

So this is the WSCC Planning Meeting for Angus Balcombe horizontal well into the Kimmeridge.

Many thanks for your post, cn100.

From the Times this morning:

" ... Russia indicated that it could be willing to return to the negotiating table with OPEC ...
Alexander Novak, the Russian energy minister, said that 'Russia may reach new agreements if needed', while there were reports that the ministry would meet oil companies today to discuss possible future co-operation with Opec.
However, Saudi Arabia appeared to reject the olive branch ..."

An article reporting French Connection's figures includes this:
"The company sourced about half of its products from China, a spokesman said, adding that all the factories affected by an extended quarantine period had been reopened".

Puts the spotlight on the ECB.
