BHP Billiton Share Discussion Threads

How much of the slide is 'catastrophe' and how much is commodity price driven? Just a rookie question.

How much of the fine can Samarco pay itself? (How hard can BLT and Vale squeeze Samarco).

What about the Brazilian inspectors what about they're liability?

Any reasonable answers considered.

A Fed rate rise will exacerbate the problems currently transfixing the mining industry i.e.sharply weakening emerging market growth against a backcloth of a problematic Europe.The conundrum is that banks are now so weighed down by regulation that the appetite for risk has evaporated and this has contributed to a slowing of global growth.Forget the USA luxuriating in its shale gas finds,the rest of the world is in a hard place.The share price of BLT etc reflect that fact.Mining companies will slash dividends in this climate so historic yields do not restrict downside. All that said,the shares have slid exponentially and we must be fast discounting real catastrophe.On a five year view etc isn't this a great buying opportunity?Perhaps but I suspect the recovery might be as insipid as the recovery in banking stocks.

Monty, silver plated cutlery this season, have you ditched the free Pret plastic ones?


Bought the dip in crude after thanksgiving for some decent pocket money

disconnecting from the rest of the miners........

monty, I would expect no less than a four bird roast for you!.

BLT has fallen from £20 to £7.60 in about 18 months.
that is 62% for a huge company.
and you talk of capitulation to come?

Monty

must be able to push for a Goose azwell !

[montyhedge] 30/11/2015 09:58

Of course mini bounces as investors try to catch the low.But in my view capitulation as not happened yet.

[montyhedge] 30/11/2015 09:57

Turkey this year.

[essentialinvestor] 30/11/2015 09:56

monty, this must be paying for a very merry Christmas for you indeed )

[montyhedge] 30/11/2015 09:44

535p my target.

[fruitloops101] 30/11/2015 09:29

..and all those poor people should lose their jobs???

[ny boy] 30/11/2015 09:23

These environmental disasters need to stop, the only way is to close up their operations in these types of Countries, always the innocent poor people that suffer in these Countries.

Disgraceful behaviour from these multi nationals.

[careful] 30/11/2015 09:23

10.4% dividend.
how can you resist such a solid, safe income.
just topped up.
i can never resist a bargain.

lesser mortals panic.

[deanroberthunt] 30/11/2015 09:22

yep, changed my mind, this is an avoid for 6-12 mths.

[wskill] 30/11/2015 09:19

500 miles of river to clean and estuaries it will be multiples of BP cost in the Gulf

[ny boy] 30/11/2015 09:19

Bears are piling on the pressure

[tsmith2] 30/11/2015 08:54

Algo players testing support; suspect they are going to look to pull this down significantly

[montyhedge] 30/11/2015 08:54

Best short on the FTSE, still.

[rackers1] 30/11/2015 08:52

Agree with NY boy


Plenty more legs to the downside in this dog

[melody9999] 30/11/2015 08:37

considering today's RNS will present the best picture from BLT's perspective, that is absolutely shocking.

[ny boy] 30/11/2015 08:32

Certainly on its way to test that technical low around 730p

[ny boy] 30/11/2015 08:25

The key could be around FED interest rate decision day

Brazil mess is a complete disaster, another multi national in trouble, meanwhile lots of poor people dead and thousands lost their homes, the CEO should resign over this and the share price performance.

[montyhedge] 30/11/2015 08:21

Capitulation has not happened yet.
