nothing very exciting in the results!

[old giggleswickian] 29/8/2007 17:07

huggy,
You do that while I prepare to play golf!

OG,
Well, someone seems to expect good news looking at today's rise. I'll stick to my guestimate and prepare to look stupid tomorrow!

Huggy,
For the last few years market forecasts have been way out and have gradually increased as the results got nearer. This year they have been fairly constant at £45m so on the basis of the last trading statement £46m would sound fine to me.

Ian.

that would be great!

[huggybear1954] 29/8/2007 13:22

Any views on tomorrows interims?
I'll take a stab and say £50m pre-tax profits after allowing for the impact of the weak dollar.

Funny enough I think the turnaround came when the US markets opened. Even they couldnt believe how cheap it was!

[huggybear1954] 10/8/2007 20:17

I think the sector had a bit of a bounce. Petrofac was off nearly 40p at one time but recovered most of that. Hunting was the star performer though.

[mach10] 10/8/2007 19:54

dunno mv, there was a strange afternoon reversal. It was down to 630p at one stage. Probably punters felt this was overdone. I am not even clear why this sank so much in the first place. Maybe the end of day was a flight to quality!

[mveseyx] 10/8/2007 16:22

This is the only stock in blue on my monitor today. Anybody know why this increased this afternoon when general market is in a downward spiral?

[mach10] 09/8/2007 22:39

I think this has been unfairly hit. Business is booming so fundies are good, Weak dollar doesnt help of course but a short time ago this went up a quid to 835 on rumours of a bullish statement. I think if this falls again tomorrow I will get more on MOnday. I remember this at 330 so wont want to mis another buying opportunity

[huggybear1954] 09/8/2007 21:35

Well, I thought adding some in the 690s today was a good idea. Looks like there'll be blood on the carpet tomorrow. Dow down nearly 400 points, more than half of that after the FTSE close. I'd love to be proved wrong!

[omalaha] 09/8/2007 11:05

PFC also taking a knock - noticed HTG bounced of recent support.

[wjccghcc] 09/8/2007 10:17

Lot of program sell trades across several FTSE 250 stocks. Added some at 673p.

[fayde] 09/8/2007 09:39

this has taken a dip today, I wonder if it is being affected by the big investment banks withdrawing and driving the share price down.

[napoleon 14th] 29/7/2007 20:21

IMHO Russia won't rock the boat too much...

They need to invest to keep up with Chinese & Indian competition,
a lot of the country is pretty basic still,
they need energy exports to fuel growth,
+ want outside partners in other areas than energy.

So the recent "spat" had no commercial consequences
& got played down by Putin...

[tinker] 17/7/2007 14:44

How do you think the current spat between Russia and the UK will affect the Oil & Gas sector. It's always possible, though unlikely, that Russia could turn off the tap or at least freeze ongoing projects. But would that necessarily harm HTG or SDX or increase their value elsewhere?

[overmars] 17/7/2007 09:03

Article in Wall Street Journal (July 16th).
Oil supply not keeping up with increasing worlwide demand. High oil prices to continue for decades.

[hectorp] 16/7/2007 12:01

Have closed my HTG shareholding bought early in the year and I am adding to SDX Sondex. HTG has outperformed SDX by 40% this year, that I believe will not now persist.
good luck mon amis.

[hawks11] 12/7/2007 20:24

I must add my thanks as I couldn't understand the sudden rise which appeared linked to the miners news and upgrade

[aly48] 12/7/2007 16:04

also rumours AMEC looking at bid on WG is probably lifting sector - EXR up 40p+ and PFC also up 15p

[beercapafn] 12/7/2007 13:27

Thanks for that Robson, I would not have made the connection. That might have been the reason for the kick this afternoon. Thanks.

[robson1974] 12/7/2007 13:14

AMEC took analysts on two day trip to Canadian Oil Sands ... v bullish and probably explains HTG rise today



Hunting is the biggest and most geared oil services play on Canada Oil Sands growth

[edjgee] 12/7/2007 10:55

Shortage of service supply in this sector imo so htg and friends should go, Bate running well. No engineers and equipment no oil!
