I think you are right.

Great opportunity for a long term gain terrific upside, we can't really lose provided we keep a watch on it.

By the way do you talk to yourself?

Mmmmm...............

It has been known.

I can change the weather too, but only locally.

Watch and I will make the sun shine Wednesday next week. (meant to say all day).

Well, have a good weekend all.

You too.

Attention men in white coats - we've found him at last. Bring the medication quickly, he's delirious and talking to himself.

This is looking good in the short term.



What do you think sww?

Dran good, glad I bought at the 60-p level.

Money in the ramp, er bank.

Quick, increase the dose - he's still at it.

LOL

I'll give you a break seawallwalker! :)

BTW, where did you get a name like that? I do some of that, living close to the river banks on the east coast.

Patience is all that is required here at HNR, best smaller oil company punt around!

Good luck anyway, imo you don't need too much of it here, it's on the way up.

Hi rayrac, thanks for noticing.

You too Pond Life.

The name came from what I do most days, sea wall walking with my dog(s).

I go out along the Crouch Estuary at South Fambridge and Wallasea Island, sometimes down to Potton Island.

I totally agree about HNR, this time next year, who knows?

SWW,
Hardman is on my watch list. I am heavily invested in SEY, so I don't want more of the same, but Hardman is looking interesting on a price / assets basis and I agree that a takeout by Woodside looks increasingly likely at some stage. One problem - what do I seel to buy Hardman? I hold BUR, JKX and SEY, plus other energy industry plays such as HTG and HMY. None of these do I want to sell just at the moment.

I cannot advise you to sell any of those.

Leave Hardman on your watch list, take a note of the trading ranges and work out the tops and bottoms so that if you decide to take a profit on any of the others you know more or less where the bottom is if you decide to buy.

For instance, I have read that a possible trading range this year would be between 1 and 1.30 for HNR.

Bottom range before Christmas was 60p. (Thats were I bought). It may not go there again though.

It is more of the same in respect of BUR,SEY & JKX.

I would not do a swap for swaps sake.

I live close to the river next (north) to yours and it's either down to Millbeach or the promenade!! I have an acquaintance or two, who live in your area (N Fambridge), we sing in the S Woodham Ferrers MVC! Try it some time, we are always on the lookout for new members! No test!:)

PS, I've just realised you are across the other side from N Fambridge...but still close enough to W Ferrers!! :)

Hi Pond Life, I'm not that keen on SEY and so I don't hold, but as seawallwalker says, it's down to you in the end. I wouldn't want to be out of HNR under any circumstance, they do unfortunately look to be T/A fodder, but last evening I watched CNBC and they interviewed the president of Exxon Mobil and he thought there would be consolidation among the larger oilers, eg, Woodside perhaps, or Unicol. Exxon (and most of the 'big boys') are stuffed with money and are on the prowl , so he inferred.

If Woody gets taken out then sure as eggs is eggs, the end is in sight for HNR! All imo of course.

Good luck anyway!

Well that put the 'stoppers' on that. It was only a suggestion seawallwalker, I'll stay with HNR! :)

Rayrac been out all day, I'll read this tomorrow.

550 miles, nackered.

rayrac, thanks for the invite but not really my thing.

Scott Spencer is apparently doing the rounds in LOndon according to...............wait for it.............

Hot Copper.

New Information Brochure for March 2005.

Well worth the 7 mb download.

I am pretty surprised ythat the dry hole at Marloo, reported this am, has not had the usual 2 to 3p drop.

I suppose it was expected, but the Market usually canes these.

Ho hum.
