On 3rd July PFC announced that it was trading well ahead of expectations. Not surprisingly, sp jumped but has now fallen back pretty much to the same level as before the announcement.

While perhaps not as exciting as finding the next Cairn, remember that in the goldrush days, it was rarely the prospectors who made the money, but rather the suppliers of the spades and tents and stuff - e.g. Levis if memory serves me aright.

just a general sector wallop it would seem... all very logical!

Bouncy, bouncy.

ouch down 22.50p, bouncy, bouncy or yes but down

There is more questions than answers for those investing in this company

Safe but get nothing is the answer, money almost better under the mattress

The one liner's thread can be said on here

the 5-year chart below gives a much better (more accurate) picture ...... however, it is true to say that sp is having a lot of difficulty in breaking through 1700 and holding there ....... as for 22.5p on a share of 1650 - it's barely a blink!

I visited Petrofac's offices in Aberdeen on business quite recently.

I was left with a number of impressions:

Aberdeen is booming and awash with money, it's difficult for a company not to make money in that environment. Aberdeen is perhaps the oil and gas capital not just of the North Sea but of the world, a justifiable claim,.

Petrofac seems to have grown too big too quickly. I was amazed by the inefficiencies of the business I encountered in just a few hours on the premises.

Difficult to predict their future, but if times get harder in the business PFC are already behind the curve.

re OUCH

Strange thread opener and holder not noticing results and share price low of the year 1504p now down 94p, I think I saw - cynic - posting somewhere else erlier

Can the 1500p hold? >>>>

Midday Report
A tick-up in crude prices helped Shell to gain 11.5p to 2197p, in the wake of its deal with Spain's Repsol to acquire gas assets. BP was up 1.15p to 445.25p but oil industry service group Petrofac slipped 66p to 1531p despite saying revenue improved 9% to $6.3bn in 2012 and net profit rose 17% to $632m.

i'm still a holder but could have done without today's battering ..... JPM did not like the relative lack of clarity for 2013 and the profit warning from Saipem a week or so ago did nothing to improve sentiment

LAM has been similarly dreary of late

strange comment about "thread opener" :-)
you may note that i started this on in 2006, so rather a lot has happened since then!!

"Strange thread opener and holder not noticing results and share price low of the year 1504p now down 94p, I think I saw - cynic - posting somewhere else erlier"

Indeed C.. What a very odd comment.

i suspect just someone having a little dig at me, but no prob - i dish out plenty :-)

meanwhile, it is getting very tempting to try to catch the falling knife with sp crashing and now down 122 at 1476 (after a low of 1463)

re - OUCH

Nothing odd on my comment, but strange as I said
posting when everything is rossie, but away from here when results and share price dropping like a stone ( falling knife others would say )

That is really odd and I will add dubious ( "questionable motives" ) as it happens
and now 1464p down 134p

Not a holder naturally, just curious of what is going on on this BB's at MAM though not much I have to say

Go back to a more exciting BB then. :-))

tut tut, menorca ..... not true at all i think you'll find, though i don't care much if you don't find

mind you, it wouldn't have been such a bad investment had one bought in 2006 and hung on to them - which i didn't

As an aside, We haven't seen much of Master RSI lately.. Have we?

thank god!

he's been sent to Gehenna, or Limbo if he's been very lucky

I don't know what suddenly made me think of Him/Her do you -):

.. And not forgetting magicjoe.

Is the Lynch MOB at work at MAM?
It looks like, once a greemlink wakes up the rest follow through, it reminds me of "headless chikens"
or better ......... "lemmings throwing themselves off cliffs"

This thread is getting as bad as the one below

I did copy and paste the lot included my post with this intention, but the complain is about MAM not the posters on the second one. ( just notice the different dates, meaning selected post )

now you may have .....dreamed but you have put the wrong hook to do the catch
