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 .

Goldman Sachs upgrades Hunting to 709p a pop.Hmm,should I buy more,market today turned negative,will decide later today near closing.Divi due soon.

Arbitrage trading of assets is smart covering for clever traders,,keeps your head rocking from side to side,gives me a headache,could manage ok with 2 brains ,I'll stick to my longs.I'm long on 2 oilies,BG and HTG,both will do well when crude price recovers. GL.

BG definitely being flogged off cheaply .BG sp has been as high as 15 and a half quid a pop in 2011.There has been a fistful of upgrades of positions and sp predictions , upgrades from hold to buy and sell to buy too and sp's from 1226p to 1460p. I'm in here ,there is more to this BG story yet. Oil price gains will reflect in BG's sp.

Good info sharing,cheers nr22,I bought in here 3 weeks ago.worth at least 7 quid a pop plus the divi is ok while waiting for the price of a can of the black stuff to rise.HTG were trading above 8 quid a few months ago.Big gains possible here. All the Georgey.

Aquired a few BG yesterday.Wow up 8 pennies already.Joking aside,I could not resist moving in on these ,price has dipped somewhat since news of buyout flamed out,BG has giant gas and oil reserves worth billions,personally I think BG board are selling BG on the cheap to make millions quickly themselves. There are a lot of cash rich Chinese companies who must be looking at this deal,they may join the party,maybe more will.I have a gut feeling that the BG story has further to run.Even if this deal turns into a duster and shuv's BG's sp off a cliff then I will be able to add low priced shares of a great energy company to make a killing on. ,

Added HTG to my portfolio last week.HTG has reasonable divi to hold for recovery in oil price.This stock has been around 8 quid plus not long ago .Share price will swing to and fro with ups and downs in the price of a can of the black stuff.You might need nerves of steel with this one. If you can hold out, and your nerve ,HTG will come out on top,great company and well run.My target is 7 quid a pop. Today's rise is because of promised long awaited tax cuts in this weeks budget for the North sea energy industry.Hopefully rises will continue,any rises will not be straight up,the future price of oil has to rise to give more upward momentum.I t will take time.I place HTG at a medium risk investment.Good luck. All the Georgey

When you are at Sainsbo's buy a pork and apple from one of the deli counters Pugsy.They are just the right size for a snack when you have unpacked shopping and having a cuppa.Great with a drop of Sainsbo's brown sauce and cost is only a bit over a quid each. What a buying opportunity over last week or so.Price around all time lows ,won't stay low forever,I topped up yesterday at a great price.Takeover.....will it be this week,next week,who knows.Great when it happens.
