This is like a coiled spring. Set to explode soon.

[whiskeyinthejar] 25/1/2016 17:19

Seems a bit soon to be calling the bottom, just a rally I think.

I'm not expecting a short squeeze, bears will have time to unwind their positions slowly I think.

Unless something changes politically.

[essentialinvestor] 25/1/2016 17:11

Yup Monty may just have a relevant point here!,
perhaps clearer tomorrow.

[badtime] 25/1/2016 17:09

Some shorts closing?

[badtime] 25/1/2016 17:09

Monty it may be important...still at a loss to your wow...when u already new about it having posted on the matter 2 days on...don't become a Zy

[imperial3] 25/1/2016 17:05

Makes you wonder why?

[essentialinvestor] 25/1/2016 16:58

Ian, fair point, it looks a dome deal in any case.

That is one of the first days for a long time that Shell has risen against
both a falling UKX and falling oil price.

The path of least resistance appears to be up towards my upper tramline. A break above that will send the shares towards my first target in the 1,800p area. I believe crude has not yet bottomed, but, when it does, the majors will move much higher and my initial target for Shell is 2,000p, with higher potential thereafter.

Mine are in a nominee account so have not even looked,
unless you instruct the broker to vote No, you are automatically
voted Yes from memory, inertia is one of the reasons why this vote will
not be anywhere even near close imv - would have voted Yes in any case.

[atlantic57] 25/1/2016 16:34

Is the shareholder vote later this week on whether the deal goes through with bg.

[essentialinvestor] 25/1/2016 15:52

That is a lovely intra day reversal, if the market behaves tomorrow
and oil does not fall out of bed may get a run well in to the 14's imv,
or just wishful thinking )

[badtime] 25/1/2016 15:48

Windj re post 5848 I think u've just posted the link between BG and Zy

[badtime] 25/1/2016 15:47

Monty you said the short stuff in post 5781 on Jan 23rd..not sure why u are repeating it

[montyhedge] 25/1/2016 14:42

Hedgies are short £2.6 billion worth of Shell shares wow.

[w1ndjammer] 25/1/2016 14:20

The hedge funds were short 392 mill barrels in the market, record highs buying back only 4% caused the spike during Thursday and Friday.

They have an awful lot to buy back, could get interesting at some point.

Deal makes Shell supplier of 18% of current global LNG.

Theoretically, this gives Shell some leverage to control LNG prices.

[uapatel] 25/1/2016 12:44

I have voted for the deal, fwiw. To me it about Shell as a business long term and the BG bid helps as I see it. I am well down on my meagre holding compared to many on here doubts. However, as it forms part of my income portfolio, I will top up as and when funds allow. Good luck which ever way you vote.

[flaton2000] 25/1/2016 12:34

And while i am about it let me just say this, when all the various players realise (and react accordingly) that with a few a adjustments on production
in the various places{and methods) to extract are executed in a cost effective
manner it probably wont actually take very long for sensible prices (not to high or low)to return.

Why would anyone in there right mind produce so much that the price is lower than it costs to produce and then store it up. Sort yourselves out chaps.

what this guy doesn`t know about O&G isn`t worth knowing..........
