Phil
What did i say about 1100. Now the target is 1200 but it will take some time to break that target.

[philanderer] 22/1/2013 15:56

Afternoon guys, quite a run up today from that 1110p that was hit earlier.

[arja] 22/1/2013 15:52

how true pft10 and that especially applies to board commentys on spec stocks which are always bullish even as share price falls !

[pft10] 22/1/2013 15:31

I don't often go on the bulletin boards but last time I read this thread it was so negative that, even though my charts for my relevant time periods said long, made me doubt my own judgement and close half of my long spread bet. A reminder to myself 'believe in yourself and don't get influenced by bb comments!'.

I've been trading the markets quite a few years and still I can get influenced even though I am fairly successful.

Good luck whether you are long of short.

Tweeeek

Soon it will be 1200p the moment shorts close....so what is so bizzare about that.

[philo124] 22/1/2013 15:03

I know you know!

[arja] 22/1/2013 14:46

know the feeling philo124 ! I sold half my GDL yersterday and look at it today !

[tweeeek] 22/1/2013 14:26

This is all very bizarre.

[philo124] 22/1/2013 13:38

My 33% sale this am seems to have done the trick!

[arja] 22/1/2013 13:18

I assume our friend Tweeek has now closed out .

[hjs] 22/1/2013 13:07

Shorters watch out... close before your profits turn into a loss.

[arja] 22/1/2013 13:01

took off at 10am and chart does suggest it might get to about £12 in next week or so .

[dr biotech] 22/1/2013 09:35

Not a bad article but they seem to make more by implication than any proper foundation.

I rang Shell this morning asking if they wanted to bid £20 a share - "no comment"...and they would be open despite the snow round here this morning.

Morning guy, weak general market today... US futures pointing well down

[philanderer] 21/1/2013 10:15

Nice one PHIL, forecast around here in South Bucks is for no more snow this week, so should be ok :-)

[philo124] 21/1/2013 09:52

Malaga for me Thursday, subject to getting out of the uk.

[philanderer] 21/1/2013 09:29

Morning guys, I hate this weather, south of france for me thursday for a few days - Heathrow permitting ;-)

[tweeeek] 21/1/2013 09:11

Morning Phil, it was a poor start for me, nevertheless the weather makes up for it, we've had a lovely few inches of snow here up in the north. Think my time will be better spent making a snowman today.

[philo124] 21/1/2013 08:18

Good start. Err, maybe not.

We are sick of being mistaken for British Gas :-D

From the guardian..

BG added 17.5p to £11.14, helped by RBC Capital Markets raising its rating from sector perform to outperform. Analyst Peter Hutton said the upgrade was on the prospect of growth resuming rather than bid talk, saying:

Our valuation is not predicated on any corporate approach, and we have long been sceptical on the media speculation regularly attached to BG. But as context, we estimate a buyer could get extensive assets in Brazil at a discount, BG's proven reserves at $4 a barrel, and a global liquefied natural gas business essentially for free at the present share price.
Meanwhile Nomura raised its price target from £15 to £16. The bank said:

It's unlikely the recently appointed chief executive, Chris Finlayson, will put forward his full strategic vision for BG next month. For that, investors may need to wait till late spring or the summer. For the time being, we wouldn't be surprised if there is some element of 'clearing the decks' on 5 February with the 2012 results. Investors should look for more detail on the base portfolio and clearer assumptions for 2013 production, a framework to help forecast LNG profitability, an update on the key growth projects in Brazil and Australia, and reassurances around capital expenditure and the balance sheet.
