[mpclag] 09/2/2012 07:38

i meant beat of course-just re-read results and can't see anything Im missing

[mpclag] 09/2/2012 07:29

have these results just beet the best estimate by 18%? or am I missing something?
Average analyst estimate I think was 30c eps and best 33c. Results show 39c!

[scottishfield] 08/2/2012 09:03

ok, I feel better(ish) today !

Good technical finish to the day for BG ,buyers came in late on FTSE finished down. General market not spooked buy Greece US is leading the way and we will follow. Can see 3% up side for the next month in the FTSE.

STAVROS AGRESSIVE BULL!!!!

Ok , on sidelines for now guys. It will be intereting to see what Thursday brings, it's hard to call (for me). best of luck.

Chart
-0.3% over a year. Exactly the same as the FTSE.
Bit of FTSE outperformance since beginning of Jan. but back in lockstep.
Not compelled - results are everything.

Here`s a funny thing..

from Bloomberg..

Glencore just hired a commodity ship at a rate of MINUS $2000 per day . Massive oversupply of shipping.

Mmmmmm.
Phil,
Every employee at BG is carrying around £0.5million in debt, so this is forecast to rise to three quarters of a million and us owners are supposed to be sanguine?
By way of contrast each employee of RDSB carries around a promisary note of just £155,000.
My yield on BG is about 3%, which I feel comfortable with - I suspect that when the Tintins run their rules over the results and the potential for falling gas prices to affect profitability is factored in, we are in for a long term downtrend.
The proposed deluge of riches is not due for 2 or 3 years and there is plenty to go wrong between now and then.
China's involvement as a joint venture would be the analgesic.
"Selling down" is for the minors, not the majors! Don't rate this Tony Shepard Tintin. I bet IC will really rate the share, whatever the results :-)
I don't sell unless there is bad news, but I sure ain't adding without new information
Hope I'm wrong, but it is too easy to be forever positive when one owns a share.
GLTA for next week's Finals.

Independent newspaper market report...

"It was not a good session for the oil groups in general, with BG sliding 7p to 1,425p as traders cited concerns that next Thursday's full-year results could be accompanied by a possible fund-raising, although analysts have recently played down the likelihood of this being required."

[scottishfield] 03/2/2012 19:37

Solid stock, which will go higher. (Can't vouch for 'Tintins forcasts)Takeover prospect too. Racier stocks abound, I have some, but happy to be here also.best of luck

[apad] 03/2/2012 16:23

BG yields about 1% and the Tintins' forecasts for growth are not that high.
I'm struggling to figure out the attraction of BG.
It's a bit embarrassing as I am sitting on 30% profits.
Any kind folk care to provide a one line answer for an investor who's obviously quite dim?

Read across from several Shell downgrades this morning ?

Brent up, US crude down, premium near 3-month high

[philanderer] 02/2/2012 12:06

Citi says Brent-WTI spread is going back to $20

New lows for the year on US Crude oil - maybe start of a move to Dec $93 levels?
