Ooo, getting very Christmas pressie like at todays price. Stocking fillers!

I was very nearly back in at 760 but the amount of negative sentiment about the sector means I have held back.
I was also looking at Petrofac which is currently around 4 year lows but offers a better divi than HTG.
Lamprell is another to consider in the sector but is more of a recovery play at present.
Feel that there is pretty good value across the sector now as hopes and share prices have both been scaled back.

I got in too early here at 790, but seems to have good fundamentals, unsure of the drop, guess negative sentiment within the sector?

Back up today. I saw a lot of broker notes giving a 10 pound target . would love to see it but as I said I was so disappointed by the update. Will be back in at 760p or a seller at 10 quid of the rest of my holdings.

[mach100] 12/11/2013 16:50

oh dear, Sold over half my holdings todays. Loadsa red flags in that Interim Management. I expect more selling and falls tomorrow when it has been digested. Pity really as this could have gone to 10 quid but the uncertainty will probably see it go below £8.

Sand or Mellors any ideas on today's big drop? I kow it went ex-divi from yesterday which is 5p but think it went down 3.5% overall. I love thhis share, could easily be 10 or 11 quid and pays a nice divi. But if the Fed ends tapering I am sure this one is heading back to 7 quid in a general malaise. I want to take some profits but not sure if there is a rebound from today to come?

good ride up on the back of elementis

Ah, thanks. Schlum's third quarter result may indeed explain that rise. I was searching for some trigger but could only find last month's Deutsche 1000p target, followed by Goldman going for 1100p on Thursday, last.

Yes, it would be nice to see a breakout from the 700-900p range!

[mach100] 19/10/2013 15:55

Lovely rise rise 62.5p to close at the weekend at 872p. Wonder was the rise driven by Schlumberger's forecast beating results in the States. GE's oil and gas business was 18% ahead in revenue on the last quarter.

Nice divi to come on 6th November too where hopefully it will be bobbing its head over 9 quid a share. Glad I didn't trade these now I would have been caught out by the bounce.

Am thinking about topslicing some of my holdings after today's rseults. I think this is a good company in the long term, nicely diversified and has a huge market presumably in Shale gas in North America. In hindisght I would have liked to got out at 8am today. The fall in underlying profits is slightly worrying and I sure don't want to watch these drift down. I would prefer to sell and buy back in weakness. The statement said the results were slow and solid but the market took a different view.

boomtime for US oil production, should guarantee bumper profits for oil services companies like Hunting for many years to come, particularly as the oil requires more engineering effort to get at :

Article below illustrates potential for HTG, and thats just in the UK which has just a small fraction of the untapped resources available on the continent
