Divi due next week.17th 16.64p All the georgey too all oilies everywhere .
Hi, How much is the bid worth.Is the bid around �1.6 billion,with 445million shares out ,equates to around 360p a share have I got this right,how much is the bid worth. Cheers.
Hi snige, I too added just a few around 10am this morning, reasoning similar to Anapa.As to your query regarding 5% plus drop,maybe a couple of oil related disclosures ... BP announced news of a programme to extend oil field activity in UK North sea.This will eventually add upwards of 50 million ' extra' barrels of oil streaming onto open market, market makers and traders maybe got the jitters that this could hit barrel prices and sold chunks of their holdings ,panic lasted a few hours maybe a lot bought back in as the jitters cooled. Another reason that might have added power to the jitters Richter scale was an announcement by New Zealand will no longer award permits for future oil and gas exploration ,obviously a green initiative to reduce greenhouse gases.Announcing 'green issues and policies ' and then following through is two different things entirely. These sort of announcements can produce big shifts in sp,sometimes good times to add,always do your own homework and due diligence before making decisions.Looks like today am was maybe a good time to add. I rate Wood Group a hold at moment and add on big dips ,sp could go to 7, 8 quid a pop,could go lower as there is still a skeleton in the cupboard called AMEC.The investigation into the AMEC previous activities regarding accusations of corruption involving bribes and other skulduggery is not yet concluded.WG may well attract a big fine as they have bolted on AMEC.It is uncertain what the outcome might be.Does anyone have a view on the AMEC enquiry by the SFO? I feel that WG sp can not recover until SFO concludes.Time will tell. All the Georgey to all invested.
Further to my last post .A little info I have just received . Broker guidances on SPI. 17 Jan. Numis issues ADD rating with target sp 296p 16 Jan Jeffries issues BUY rating with target sp 290p SPI to issue earnings guidance on March 2.They are content with revenue guidance at the mo. I know some take broker info little pinch of salt.Positive broker comment always makes all have a nicer ' feel' about shares they own rather than negative broker ratings.A lot of brokers are positive on SPI at the moment,this could alter on any governmental announcements or negligence actions against SPI doctors by patients which will give sp here big swings. Any bid news will be nice for sp. Volcano,your entry sp of 240p yesterday looks good .Be ready for big swings. All the Georgey Volcano,hope SPI will indeed inspire us.
I have been in and out a few times with SPI since bid offer cooled.Current over capacity in our NHS and staffing problems stated today can only aid the private health sector.SPI and others will benefit hugely with the innept way Governments are handling immigration and the health services. Any news about a renewed bid or a revised bid will be ice on the cake. Might just hold here for a while to see what pans out.There is a little divi here which always is welcome on going long on a share. Target price to tempt me to sell....3 quid a pop. All the Georgy to all .
Indications are maybe Creitons registering intentions of a share buyback.Could improve sp.
I have been trading for about 15 years.Done good.This share,Creitons was one of my first forays, a time before when certificates were in fashion and dealing on the blower.It bombed soon after ,I wrote them off when sp slowly dropped to around a mere penny.I had one eye back on them when company started to drag itself off the canvas and rose penny by penny. Fantastic recovery ,a genius of a board,divi declared and positive on future growth.Creitons could become a bid target at any time,I intend to keep shares to see what develops,I wrote my 20k shares off ages ago.Divi coming too,brilliant... Let's see the story to the end. All the Georgey .
Hi YB 34, I have been invested here for about a year or so.I have about 50% of my portfolio holding consisting of British Land which I intend to retain for a long period,maybe for very long term. The quarterly divi really appeals to me, it is not get rich quick divi stuff ,but excellent if to play the long intelligent play.I have made great plays with in and out plays also on drops in SP of this stock whilst still retaining my core holding for regular good divi. BLND is a tough resilient company that in my opinion is still a great buy for any type of investor either long or short player.BLND will always rebound from stock market shocks and holders should not have sleepness nights as the divi structure is sustainable , sustainability I mean as historical evidence I mean,sustainability cannot be guaranteed.I hope that makes some kind of sense. BLND was trading at between 750p and 8 quid not long ago ,also a fortune historically,there I go again on share history.But I perceive that history of a company through tough times is critical in my analysis before laying out my hard earned.BLND is proven and meets my CODE before investing. Now back to your question of adjusted earnings, I will endeavour to look into your query with my fellow investors and get back to you. Meanwhile if anyone else can help in answering or have any input on BLND please write.
Hi,bought in a couple of days ago at 220p.Refer to my TALK post for reasons why. Good luck all.
Talk exceeded my price target ,sold on12th at 272p.I looked over Lgen, figures and future divis make LGEN a buy for me.LGEN has lost a big chunk of SP since highs of around 272p about 5 months ago,the capability of LGEN sp recovery convinced me ,I purchased LGEN at 220p 2 days ago.I still like TALK and may come back again. Anyone here have any thoughts on, or own LGEN.Let me know if you have,good luck all.
This share shows a divi'cover of only f 0.59%,is this a worry ,around 1.5-2.0% is the norm. I have a few k,and target price of 260p. 0.59% cover seems weak.
There are buyers sniffing round HTG.Maybe a bid will materialise.....
Bought in again here at 500p .My target is 7 quid. Also bought a few more BG.Good stocks these.Things will improve with oil price rises.
A severe reaction to some major profit taking could be a cause.HTG good no probs.I added a few at 600p.
Hi Liberalman, Today's uptick is probably due to the fact that Societe General (SocGen) a respected financial institution has upgraded their sp forecast for Sainsbury's from 260p to 315p,quite a leap. SocGen established it's first office outside of France in the UK in 1871.SocGen has been delivering excellent financial services for private clientèle for over 100 years in the UK.So it seems that what SocGen says is respected,their views on Sainsbo's are being respected. Also a few respected financial advisers and columnists are quoting that the 'big four' of our trade might be seeing some bottoming out of losing shoppers to Aldi,Lidl and other discounters.Maybe some of Sainsbo's customers are coming back home,I hope lot's do as Sainsbury's instore promotions are beating the discounters on lots of day to day lines .Their are also lots of great buys on home and clothing lines too. All in all I think that Sainsbury's are fighting their corner well with price reductions ,promotions while retaining quality of goods and keeping their thorough checking systems in place. Divi' due soon,payment of 8.2p on 10th July to look forward to. (next month,not long now) All the Georgey to all.
Good news as well as bad news is contagious , Petrofac (PFC) has issued an rns which must I perceive has a leaning to the positive by the city guys. HTG is probably riding on the coat tails of PFC as their business focuses are alike. Best of luck.
PS.Divi payment due next month . (10th July @ 8.2p) Divi yield around 4% at moment.Not bad,I think I might book a table and surprise our Lass,that's Liz my devoted wife. Why don;t you do the same.I f you are alone at the moment treat yourself and take yourself out you might get lucky and meet some one nice.
Nice one Pugsy,I couldn't have put it better myself. I had a walk around a Lidl store on my travels for comparison interest only.Lots of prices can be matched or beaten at Sainsbo's with instore promotions at the moment. We were at Huddersfield store on Saturday,car park jammed full ,shop very busy.Also good buys for electricals and homeware if you look carefully. Best of luck to all ,even if you don't shop at Sainsbo's, maybe if you have not been instore for a while,why not give it another go,you might be pleasently surprised. I
Yes,good recovery today,I was tempted to add a few yesterday and did around 4.20pm just before closing.A good sign of a respected business is a recovery in sp after big dips, Hunting has shown this to be over the last few weeks. HTG was trading around 9 quid a pop around October last year when the war against the 'frackers' started which pressured oil prices lower and some rig production slowed.This action has affected oil companies in a big way,especially HTG because of the nature of their business,rig and equipment production as well as maintenance.of wells. There could be some big gains here,I have a target of 7 quid or near as an sp target.HTG could and I mean could as a long shot that with current values on this quality company it may become a bid target.HTG sp will gain when oil price gains,this will not be straight up. Good gains today,if the Yanks are positive today and the Dow rises or does not dip big then we should hold or even build on today's gains.Hold tight we will be ok. Best of the Georgey.
The price of oil is being held at a low price on purpose by the giant oil producers.They have calculated that if the low price of oil can be kept low for a considerable long time ,then oil produced by the competition of 'frackers' who are desperate to get a foothold in the oil market will not be lucrative enough to justify expenditure,not as attractive an investment if oil is around 100 dpb. .With a low oil price then with the millions of pounds in set up and production costs together with the logistics of transporting will put off and bankrupt current frackers.Major oilies in the East have billions of dollars and high oil inventories to ride out a low oil price until fracking becomes a loser.The OPEC is flooding the market and 'overproducing' oil as to try and keep oil prices low in an attempt to kill off their enemies ,the frackers' Every month or so all oil producing nations have oil inventory checks.USA and others have reported an increase in their oil inventories,when this happens the price of oil plummets,, they sometimes scale back production this affects oil companies .This is why Hunting was affected .When rig production improves so will HTG. Buy on big dips,HTG is a well run company with decent divis.They have anticipated the current problems the oil industry has with competition.They have shaved costs by shedding some staff and cutting waste.HTG will weather the storm .
