"is 1000 a psychological point or technical"
============================================

Both. Psycho for obvious reason. Technical - Look at a daily chart. You will see 1000 has been a previous s/r zone.

I suspect it will want to test the SMA 200 at 969 if it breaks and holds below 1000.

Bracke
I see some support at 1028
and sma150 is at 969
is 1000 a psychological point or technical
cheers

Ref Post 50383

It appears that it is likely to test 1000.

I tried the drains 1leigh. The bloody manhole cover is frozen on!
Expecting a thaw by the end of the week. Top up time is almost upon us.

Dividend

In line with its policy of providing a progressive dividend, having regard to both underlying profit and cash generation and to sustainability through the economic cycle, the Board has increased the interim dividend 33% to 3.0p per share (2013: 2.25p per share). This will be paid on 4 February 2015 to shareholders on record on 16 January 2015.

Only a top up opportunity if this bull market remains intact!

[rhatton] 13/1/2015 20:19

Heading to the 200 day MA before rising in anticipation of Q3 on 3/1/15

[clarky5150] 13/1/2015 19:50

One mans ugly day is another's top up opportunity ;)

[matt123d] 13/1/2015 19:30

An ugly day here tomorrow if that daily triangle breaks to the downside.

[bracke] 13/1/2015 18:23

matt

This constant 'dissing' will not do unless you are authorised to do so.

[matt123d] 13/1/2015 15:26

URI has potential to low 70s on a technical basis.

[clarky5150] 13/1/2015 14:13

Just trying to catch up big brother in the states. Uri looking a good buy now.

[matt123d] 13/1/2015 13:57

The 'big wick' candle playing out nicely for the shorts. Daily triangle support in this region, a failure will lead to an expansion to the downside.

[uppompeii] 13/1/2015 13:20

Perhaps he was being polite?

[discodave4] 10/1/2015 13:13

Who's big wick?DD

[bracke] 10/1/2015 12:11

Gap filled with a big wick.

[fenners66] 07/1/2015 01:34

alternatively they forward sold and can continue to pump for a while

Thanks Bracke for your earlier post 50383, most enlightening as usual.Read an article yesterday in Motley Fool which I found mildly interesting (at the time of reading!) and may put into context the issues URI may have due to declining oil price and their fracking contracts - an extract below:-"According to Morgan Stanley, the average global break-even cost of production for Brent crude is around $50/bbl while the average cost of production for North American shale, oil sands and Arctic producers is approximately $65/bbl, $70/bbl and $75/bbl respectively. So, many of these projects are uneconomic at present".Given that as I type oil is $52/bbl that's some hit to the U.S. fracking industry and would guess many have either ceased operating altogether or are operating on a care and maintenance programme only.GLDD

URI getting ugly now, taking out last quarter's low.
