To pick HOC stocks up on the cheap . Mark this post as gold and silver once finished this phase will rise much further .

The reason I say this is that many bought gold and silver as an antidote to seeing their cash vanish via inflation and the spiralling debt. The same case has not disappeared if anything its become stronger. Do so many really think debt will vanish ? or skyrocket ? just in the UK are you seeing what candidate is being put out there and what the gilt market responded with ? a crashing gilt market will inevitably mean gold is the hedge . People don't vote for cost cutting or efficiency , they are voting for more tax and more debt and borrowing and this government is happy with that , which will inevitably increase cost of living for all . This is not politics but translating what people are doing so if smart or prefer not to see your cash devalue you need to trade relative to this ie X / M2 or Cash out there created by borrowing or X / tech too especially US tech as its the one class that is flying But unless in GBP you''ll have currency risk . So Gold it is and HOC .

Good luck

Heading towards new year highs in my view . we are slowly getting rid of the natural seller , and oil will show no signs of turning down significantly . Am expecting substantial draws of inventories this week in the US data . People are asleep here at least in my view . am a holder .

Above 700p is the clear trading opportunity and plenty of space for that momentum wise too. am long at the moment

I hold a few properties in prime central London myself. However, without a meaningful shift in political direction, the prime London residential market is likely to continue struggling. The non-dom regime has effectively ended, many high-net-worth individuals have already relocated, and even young professionals are increasingly choosing life abroad over London. The stubborn belief that higher taxation is the solution to every problem continues to deepen — and yet the underlying issues remain unresolved. What was sold as economic justice has, in reality, been driven largely by envy and politics. The result is a clear own-goal: the policies have backfired, damaging London’s attractiveness and property values without delivering the intended benefits. The idea of new homes being built in London has too backfired .

Some will disagree with me till one day they will either wake up or have nobody to disagree with as the value creators will have all left. If like me you live in London its noticeable how the wealthier areas have seen property values drop . Moved to Milan or Dubai ( war will not help now mind you ) or other lower tax jurisdiction . But again I don't want to anger those in favour of such taxes. Their belief is that someone will be happy to stay and get fleeced . Sadly they are wrong. One day they will learn sadly it takes too long for some.

Distressed” normally means a company is struggling to service its debt, has liquidity issues, or is at risk of restructuring. HBR is nowhere near that. It’s generating solid operating cash flow, covering interest comfortably, and the debt largely comes from acquisitions of producing assets—not from plugging holes in the balance sheet.

Yes, leverage went up post-acquisition, but that’s typical in the energy sector. The key point is that those assets generate EBITDA and cash flow, which is what allows the company to delever over time. That’s very different from a business with declining earnings and no path to reduce debt.

Also, if HBR were genuinely distressed, you’d see it in market signals—credit spreads blowing out, refinancing stress, suspended shareholder returns, etc. That’s not the case. It’s fair to argue that deleveraging could help rerate the stock, but calling the balance sheet “distressed” is just inaccurate.

Strange to see HBR continuously on a trend basis under perform oil , today oil down and indeed HBR follows but we are still talking of a price in the 100s ! Should even be below 300 and passing 400 by now . I reckon they should list in the US.

This Milliband lunatic quotes the global profits not the UK ones ! His propaganda makes me sick ! They do this the WHOLE TIME He has never created a job nor really had on in his life and as we can all read he lies and mixes global vs UK profits

Harbour much like BP has now most of its business away from the tax grab !

I was going to though write about the stonking inventory draws in the US at 15,30 today . Imagine a European version , Oil is not going down any time soon the infrastructure destroyed or wells capped won't get back to production for a long time . So why this HBR fear ? Tax is a UK only issue for our assets .

Is this a wind up ?

After weeks now of high Oil prices and today's 110 ! Whaaat is going on here ? No chance we see $65 in the near term and back then we were slowly moving up ! Now we have no movement at 110 ? bizarre I must say

Now booked back

Maybe a typo as not booked back at 286.2 on the close . oh well ! Had a nice feeling for a second or two ! All will come anyway

Has anyone else got this on their accounts ? I also notice another website is saying the same News ?

This can easily do 100p up next week , I estimate an RSI of 70 at 801p ! Gold will rally strong and so will Silver . US real rates ( 5 Yield minus 5y expected inflation ) have tumbled ! We got back above 5k gold and higher this year ! remember the 950 target of JP Morgan..... 920 of RBC on the higher end these two but feel that Real rates will tank ! So don't agree with some other broker targets they are missing the inflationary story

Yet insane to see such poor price action today ! OIl surges , averages keep rising and Enq is not moving . Weird

Interesting setup in HBR.

Large secondary (~80m shares at ~£2.73) fully absorbed, with books multiple times covered. I noticed this today

A legacy holder exits, but the key signal is that demand was there in size.

These trades are often less about “who sold” and more about “who stepped in”.

Overhang removed, stock moves into stronger hands — typically a constructive medium-term dynamic, even if near-term trading stays around the placement level. But in this case it hasn't ! So I take it as a very bullish sign today . Not to mention that vs its peers HBR is cheap

@Goldfinger77 mostly to do with real rate not just stand alone inflation

Am looking at re-entering so when I see them top that will be my entry but have re-started at 530 part position

At this rate GS will get to 400 easily its a third raise in succesion 200 . 220 now 250 .... let them keep moving it up as the war and political risk premia settles oil higher for longer

That GS Jan note was pretty poorly timed indeed and clearly included ZERO global risks in that equation ! Should have learnt by now that oil should always have a risk premium .

The drop is just in the RNS . 9m shares sold , Causes the temporary retrace . Not even that many to be fair . Its best to get rid of them and place them in longer term hands . I was under the impression 360 was meant to be the time to sell. Guess they too have financial commitments

On little volume ! Someone wants in . We are trading like Brent dropped back to 65
