You've got me bang to rights.

"I see unreasonable, excessive optimism and unrealistic expectations for huge short term gains as problematic. They are likely to result in disappointment and in mood swings which mess with the share price. What "ahem" holders want is a steady progression like the track of an optimistic and determined tortoise; not a wild roller coaster like the course of a bipolar hare (or kid called gary)."
Could not agree more.

'35 years ago I named my small business after a famous Latin saying - and to my surprise in its 30 years of trading nobody ever saw the connection between the core activity of the business and the Latin word which formed its name.'I take it you are not a marketeer?

In my experience learning a new language is a life changing event. You know you have got somewhere when you begin to dream in your new tongue.

[the guardian] 11/11/2018 14:24

Tournesol, I suggest that you learn Geordie. It's much easier and mostly built around one word - canny.

Q How are you today?
A Canny

Q Is it far to London from here?
A It's a canny way like.

Q Is he free with his money?
A No he's pretty canny.

Q He is a nice lad is he not?
A Aye, he's canny

Q Did you enjoy yourself at the cinema?
A Aye it was canny like.

Q You will be careful on the way home won't you?
A Aye, al gan canny.

I grew up in the North East and after 25 years, moved to Yorkshire where I managed to embroil the best of each vocabulary into one. eg Hey up, that's a canny jumper.

100% agree, I have similar experiences.

OFF TOPIC - with apologies


Guardian and Bocase

I did O Level Latin and have found it enormously helpful. I'm particularly interested in Language and have found Latin very useful in understanding many words not previously encountered and also in seeing the inter-connection between apparently unrelated words.

Recently working with year 6 children (10-11 years) I was explaining the meaning of the word "comprehension" and found myself setting out the connection between
comprehend to understand
comprehension - the fact of understanding
comprehensive = all inclusive
apprehensive
apprehension
prehensile

all of which are clearly related.

Making the connection between comprehension and a monkey's tail made the whole exchange much more memorable than simply reciting a dictionary definition.


Apart from the application of Latin to the English language, I found it extremely helpful 20 years ago when I was struggling to learn French - not academically but on the job. There were many many words whose meaning was obvious to anyone with a smattering of Latin. And again this year. We did an Italian language course in Italy and it was amazing how helpful Latin was.

35 years ago I named my small business after a famous Latin saying - and to my surprise in its 30 years of trading nobody ever saw the connection between the core activity of the business and the Latin word which formed its name.

..I'm sure Centrica did their due diligence when gobbling up a slice of HUR's assets. They obviously believe - unlike some of the ahem "holders" on here….

That's another pejorative, it's a swipe at those people who are optimistic about HUR's future but seek to keep their feet on the ground. Investment is not about forming beliefs and then holding on to them tenaciously regardless of objective fact. It is not a faith based framework. It is about analysing information, assessing risks and rewards and acting accordingly.

I am amongst the ahem "holders on here.

HUR is my largest single position at pushing 10% of my portfolio. That does not mean I suspend my critical faculties, lose my ability to question and to think. I hope for an excellent return in the medium-long term. I do not expect a huge return in the short term. That's not "ahem" , it's hard headed realism.

I've used recent weakness to top up so as to maintain and even increase my % allocation.

I see unreasonable, excessive optimism and unrealistic expectations for huge short term gains as problematic. They are likely to result in disappointment and in mood swings which mess with the share price. What "ahem" holders want is a steady progression like the track of an optimistic and determined tortoise; not a wild roller coaster like the course of a bipolar hare.

...Has this issue of water ingress become the lazy man’s go to explanation for absence of a partner? ...

I take exception to that. It's pejorative. It's Trumpian to characterise other people as lazy because you disagree with them.

If you say I'm wrong and explain why, we can have a constructive discussion. If you say I'm lazy, there is nowhere for discussion to go except into the acrimony and aggression displayed so frequently on ADVFN.

bocase lol!

[chopsy] 11/11/2018 10:01

Before you ask, state school, different country.

[chopsy] 11/11/2018 10:00

Our Latin teacher used to give us 20 words per night to learn as homework then whip us the next day if we got them wrong. Quite a learning incentive, but brutal.

The AM is chugging along south of Almeria and it's destination showing as Algeciras. Whether it stops there or continues through the Straits of Gibraltar, we will find out soon.

This voyage has done a lot to increase my geographical knowledge. I hated geography when I was at school and had rarely been outside the county never mind the country.

I loved maths and science but now find that all those boring subjects I suffered at school are very interesting, history and geography especially. Still not found a use for latin though. Amo, Amas, Amat..........

OPEC meeting this weekend. With Russia wanting to maintain increased production, let's hope that the Saudis don't allow themselves to be bullied by Trump into doing the same.

Typical Trump move. He tells OPEC that they should increase production to cover the loss from Iran but then allows several countries to import oi from Iran, all the while, USA production increases to record levels.

I wonder if we will get an RNS when the AM gets to Holland updating on time schedules ect?

[gary38] 10/11/2018 18:29

TG by your post looks like l am being attacked again, l have him on filter ,so thanks .

[gary38] 10/11/2018 18:26

AM Should be in the Atlantic late monday, early Tuesday.

[the guardian] 10/11/2018 18:22

enfranglais, you seem to do nothing but make disparaging remarks about Gary. This is the HUR board not the GARY board.

Thank you fellow anorak bocase. :-)

[bocase] 10/11/2018 17:41

Just for 'fellow anoraks' or for those who like to follow the story of our investment in HUR

Aoka Mizu now back on the radar and off the coast of Murcia and closing in on the straights of Gibraltar

[fatnacker] 10/11/2018 16:59

greyingsurfer I agree but water ingress isn't as big a risk as some maintain, especially in the early stages of production, I tend to believe Dr Trice in that respect.

[enfranglais] 10/11/2018 16:52

gary`s ramps are looking more & more like `investment advice`, which is totally irresponsible, especially as he ignores any risks, which are many (though partly mitigated by what we tend to agree is good management & technical know how)!!
We all want this to succeed but he should kerb his childish enthusiasm (or is it just CHILDISH)?

[gibso6767] 10/11/2018 15:54

The Guardian, thing being are we compelled to sell cheap and possibly early , no debt , cash at hand , CA possibly our only fly in the ointment has reduced or possibly left ( who knows they may pop there heads above threshold 3% ).

Within months we’ve a significant income , and hopefully reserves will be proven up .

I’d be tempted to take some of the table st £1^ but personally I think £2.00 could be accessible within a year , that’s with Production Constant , FTSE listing and reserves increased .

[the guardian] 10/11/2018 15:30

I partly agree with what you say but I've never heard of a multi-national paying many multiples of the current share price for a takeover.

Share price £1 Takeout price £2-3 Feasible

Share price 50p Take out price £2-3 Unlikely

We do have some hefty unproven reserves but I still think the above will apply. Does anyone have an example of where a company has multi-bagged after takeover?

The most recent company I had shares in that was taken over was Ithaca and we barely received anything over and above the share price at the time.
