Since oct 12 we've hit a floor since falling from late sept and early oct. I 've noticed others like bp have similarly hit a ceiling at roughly around the same time.
Now we are seeing some intra day volatility- start out rubbish, head up into the clouds and then finish in light red land. I'm interested to see if we are now gearing up for the winter. The gas headed up last early nov so maybe, just maybe we should us going back into the 400's now the market has had its headache what with the Kwartang departure and a steadier hand on the till and the bond market rout and China coming back on stream. Put it another way- i can't see this price drop getting much worse before it gets a lot better. Or even see these prices as a prolonged tree shake so mates can get in in time for the winter price rises. AIMVHO

Aha, here we go again. Reaching for the olive oil...

No lube needed today Rookie. Favourable tide comes with a new Chancellor. China fuel demand recovery hopes in this morns news. And last year gas started rising nicely at Nov point. Maybe we'll see upward movement in the next two weeks. Not expecting more that 410 this week but hopefully the bash bots have lowered this enough for the ii's and mates to start buying again. Still eyeing up metal detectors though for my insurance Rookie. ATB

A fairly high number of ii's holding HBR, I guess it shouldn't be too surprising a big pension fund sell off is going to affect us. Then again p/i's are likely selling to pay for elevated fuel/ house prices but not as much as ii's.
I'm expecting another rocky ride (mostly down) up to the middle of next week until Mr. Hunt settles in to his new job and soothes things.

After months in the pits Brent open interest climbed to its highest level since March this week, while there has also been a flurry of bullish option flows . Fingers crossed things should stabilise. We can't carry on dropping further. Can we ? Until Manic monday..

My leccy meter is spinning more now the rads are on. Boiler went kaput last year so house is leccy powered until we sell the house for warmer climes- West Mercia or Merseyside !

I see a whole bunch of gassies were on the fallers list today. Has a huge gas reserve been found in Atlantis, off the Cornish coast ? Nope , a stupedously high POO has lost a bit of crust.
Still, the balance sheet grows hugely day by day. I can't see £4 on no debt and markedly reduced hedges next year next year. If not i'll just go back to casino AIM to attempt to recoup my money. Then i'll buy that metal detector. Hopefully we'll see a more stable week next. (ive been saying that for months lol).

Great finish. The Blue Nun is flowing at the Nearly There Arms. Even Les Alanos has joined us for a sing-a-long.
Tempus temp has written a cheery article: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/oil-and-gas-producer-offers-safe-haven-d77r6dmx9
Sorry can't get the rest of it.
Dock leaf porky scratching tomorrow if we hit mid-twenties tomozzer.

Seriously- i'm going against my gut and 'doing a Buffett. Simply hanging on and trying to buy some on the dropsy. According to Buffett, a company with good profits and a profit in demand should rise when Mr.Market's manic depression subsides.. At least when the dust settles in a year or whatever the debt will be cleared nicely, the divi increased and maybe some new producing assets.

On the other hand, if another oilie such as cairn or even bp comes down nicely, hopping into a less manipulated share (rather a shares which rises (properly) with the market and could be on the cards. On paper HBR looks great but as I said some days ago, the sp is as synthetic as my winter vest. In short: I'll play it by ear, but if the market really takes a tumble, really good opportunities in this sector will appear.

I guess all shares are manipulated by bots but some more than others. HBR slowly dragging its poor bum like a wormy dog up to blue zone where bp / cairn are already doing well.

Any place left for retail investors or is it time to simply buy a metal detector and go beachcombing to make my riches?

Funny, 100 is blue and the 250 1.5% down. I expected worse this morning but what do I know. Great to see the bleeding slow. Mondays are usually rocky atm anyway. May go blue later- i can feel it in my bladder; if so a whole box of Tunnocks tea cakes and Thunderbirds are on ice .

See y'all tomorrow for another jolly rodgering by Mr. Market and his big, rough hands.

So the pension funds are selling which may open opportunity for other players looking to cash in on high energy prices. I'll be interested to see if we rebound fairly quickly from new money arriving as well as existing investors (as long as poor old Mr. Market can contain himself over the coming days.

The sp was lacklustre for ages with trade vol dropping by around 1/3 yesterday and friday.
Therms 300 for November and the weather is getting chillier now. We might recover something as the cyclical winter investors arrive on the first frosts. In this long term as my record of chopping and changing companies has lost me most of my dough over the years. GLA

Waiting for those cheery broker reports and pundits to F8ck off and tell us bad news so the sp can finally rise.

I never really bother looking at gas/ oil market news nowadays as HBR rarely tracks them- except when the market drops. HBR sp is as synthetic as my winter vest.

A bit early for Blue Nun but if we see a good tide, perhaps mid fifties unless the suppression bots are out in force. If we don't see '47 today we might be on a v.v.v slow uptrend now. Time for a Maxwell House. GLA

A good old flat finish after we've seen ~456 today and ~447 today. I was worried the sp would get ahead of itself but thank goodness those clever algo bots can keep us from getting the vapours.

Maybe the ii's want as many bored folk to leave as poss. Charming. Have a good weekend all.

Lots of buying earlier in the year at around 350 Aril and July. Not surprised those folk are dumping now. and why we've been stuck at around 448-451 or thereabouts.

Blimey - a good start (for us) if we can cruise towards early /mid '50's maybe, just maybe we're on an uptrend.!!
