I mean, who wouldn’t?

Is Valueseeker8 Claim that GKP is Trading at a Loss True “May I remind you that it costs money to extract oil and process it to export standards. Currently it’s circa $4 per barrel. This means that GKP and MOL had to spend circa $4,440,000 in order to produce 1,110,000 barrels of oil. Since GKP WI = 80%, then the cost to GKP is $3,552,000. And given that GKP’s net payment is $15.8 m, out of which is a $13,148,438.4 payment via the cost recovery route (capex recovery). This means that GKP received $2,651,561.6 via the profit oil route! This is not enough to cover the extraction cost (opex recovery)!! Meaning that, operationally, GKP made a loss of $900,438.4 during September 2019!!!” OFF COURSE NOT. @ValueSeeker8’s claims are completely False @ValueSeeker8 is totally wrong and I will prove why @ValueSeeker8 is wrong and how & why @ValueSeeker8 is wrong later Unless of course @ValueSeeker8 realises his mistake and retracts his Statement

Changing the real world, is the phrase you’re looking for. If you think its going to end, take a look at the demographic stats and how people voted. The ‘grey vote’ wont be the biggest single bloc of voters in the future. Just about the time I’ll be classified as a ‘grey voter’, so I’ll get screwed again by Westminster. Quel Surprise!

Oil Slides While Gold Heads to $1,700 as Virus Rocks Commodities (Bloomberg) – Renewed fears that the coronavirus will harm global growth rocked commodity markets again on Monday, with oil and metals prices tumbling while gold soared toward $1,700 an ounce amid a global flight to haven assets. As the deadly virus spreads more widely outside China, raising the threat of a global pandemic, finance chiefs and central bankers from the world’s largest economies said they see downside risks to the world economy persisting. That’s spurring fresh alarm in commodity markets that had started to recover from lows hit earlier in the month when China’s virtual shutdown threw supply chains into chaos. With the International Monetary Fund cutting its global growth forecast and warning that it’s also looking at more “dire” scenarios, investors are concerned that risks to raw material demand are worsening. “With the volatility we’re seeing in the coronavirus event, that’s creating angst in the market on the back of growth and demand expectations and we’ve seen oil prices weaken,” said David Lennox, a resource analyst at Fat Prophets in Sydney. “The converse of that is the same event is carrying investors toward a safe haven play and that’s gold.” Oil led the losses in early Asian trade on Monday morning, tumbling more than 3% in London and New York. Until Friday, Brent crude had been in the longest run of gains in more than a year thanks to Chinese fiscal stimulus and new threats to supplies from Africa and Latin America. Industrial commodities are also getting hit hard, with copper sliding 1.3% on the London Metal Exchange and rubber tumbling more than 2% in Singapore. Agricultural commodities weren’t spared, with U.S. wheat leading losses. The declines reflect a broader market sell-off as the spread of coronavirus cases outside China spooks investors. U.S. equity futures sank with Asian shares from Seoul to Sydney, while the Australian dollar retreated along with the offshore yuan. South Korea said it had 161 additional virus cases, along with two more deaths, to bring the total death toll there to seven. The nation earlier raised its infectious-disease alert to the highest level after a 20-fold increase in cases. The situation in Europe was also escalating, with Austria halting a train from Italy on concern there were two infected passengers on board. Italy – now the virus’s epicenter on the continent – canceled the Venice Carnival (NYSE:CCL) and other events amid a rising case load. As they flee riskier assets, investors are searching for safety, sending gold prices to fresh 7-year highs as bonds and Treasury futures also advance. Bullion prices have taken off this year, rising almost 10%, as concerns over the virus deepened and speculation mounted that the U.S. Federal Reserve will ease monetary policy if the global impact worsens. “The spread of the Covid-19 to Italy and South Korea is threatening the rebounds in asset prices and that fear is driving gold prices higher,” said Howie Lee, an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. in Singapore. “Upward momentum is strong and interest in gold is set to remain high until the situation abates.” The havoc wreaked by the virus in China is a stark warning for investors as it spreads outside Asia. Oil demand in the world’s biggest importer collapsed as Beijing restricted travel and shut down factories, prompting refineries to close, stockpiles to swell and shippers seek to divert cargoes elsewhere. The world’s biggest oil producers have foundered. The OPEC+ alliance led by Saudi Arabia has struggled to agree on a collective response, dropping the idea of an early emergency gathering amid opposition from Russia. Buyers of liquefied natural gas have been trying to get out of their contracts, with demand so bad that empty ships have been lining up in Qatar, the world’s biggest seller. Copper smelters have been forced to cut production, while containers full of frozen meat have piled up at Chinese ports because of a lack of truck drivers. Beijing is now pushing for people to get back to work, loosening the criteria for factories to resume operations, as it tries to find a balance between containing the virus and preventing a slump in the world’s second-largest economy. But it’s contagion outside China that’s now spooking markets. “The coronavirus situation looks like it’s stabilizing in China, but now we’re getting pockets of it elsewhere, and that’s a concern,” said Lennox of Fat Prophets. “Geographically as more pockets of it appear, there’s going to be people who have escaped those pockets and gone elsewhere, and they create another pocket. And that’s what investors are worried about. It’s like a ripple effect outward.” image.png581x640 33.4 KB Best Regards @ValueSeeker8

LLOYDS is going to FLY Hi Again @J_Westlock, Well in respect if your various points I would offer the following comments:- Which is better having Microsoft working on any known vulnerabilities and issuing urgent updates when appropriate or having an unknown (and likely increasing) set of vulnerabilities with no one working on them ?. There are risks on any system if you click on a bad link or visit a malware affected web site but your internet security software is your only defence against those risks. That’s why you need the very best security software that you can get and update it frequently. A VPN does not provide any protection against a keylogger. It’s outgoing messages will still get delivered to their destination just as all other messages are. What a VPN provides is privacy in that it obscures your IP address (or allows you to pretend you are somewhere you aren’t) and protection against WiFi monitoring tools that are only really a problem on public WiFi networks. Keeping data in the cloud can be a problem – but generally isn’t if you don’t store any personally sensitive or financial information there. Backups might be able to restore a corrupt or infected system to a known good state but will do nothing to mitigate any damage caused while malware was present. Having a WiFi connection to your computer is a security risk in it own right. No WiFi network can ever be considered totally immune to hacking. I counter this by blocking all devices connected via WiFi from accessing my computers using my firewall. My mobile devices can use the internet just can’t talk to my PCs. Same goes for visitors, wanted and unwanted. This stops things like iTunes WiFi sync from working but I’m quite happy to plug in a wire to do that. Of everything you’ve said I think switching to a Unix district ASAP is your best approach, if you aren’t going to upgrade to Windows 10. As time goes by your Windows 7 situation will just grow progressively worse and present unknowable risks to your security, in spite of your precautions. Take care out there !. Well all markets getting thoroughly thumped by the virus, US Futures down ~1.8%. FTSE and STOXX 50 similar or slightly worse. Far East markets down big too, Korea nearly 4% - hope your out of IKOR !. Clearly I should have stayed out of the Far East after I sold all my holdings there previously, in truth I only went partially back in when China looked to have stabilised. Will take a view on whether to sell out of those 2 holdings this morning as I can only see the situation getting worse in the near future and there should be an opportunity to buyback in lower.

LLOYDS is going to FLY Yes JPM will not mess about, been in the planning stages for quite some time. Massive market cap and large profits, more than 2 trillion AUM. "JPMorgan has lined up a former senior City regulator to lead its efforts to launch a digital bank in the UK as it becomes the latest large US lender to attempt to force its way into the crowded British market. Clive Adamson, former head of supervision at the Financial Conduct Authority, has been asked to chair the new business which aims to open later this year, according to two people briefed on the bank’s plans. Mr Adamson has already held several non-executive roles at JPMorgan since leaving the regulator in 2015, including chairing its international business between 2016 and 2019. He is currently a non-executive director at JPMorgan Securities PLC, one of its main European legal entities…" [link] The LLOY donkey is going to take another kicking. ATB soi

Star wars merchandise ....CCT Bruce, I looked at the 2019 Annual Report and there is no mention of Star Wars being in the portfolio of products. So if they do have a licence it is of little or no consequence since it is not mentioned. Again the only news I have seen about the Peppa Pig situation is what is quoted on page 6 of the Annual Report. Following the announcement in August this year of the proposed takeover of Entertainment One Limited (“E1”) by Hasbro, Inc., it was gratifying to note that our current Peppa Pig licence was extended until 30 June 2021. Additionally, we are delighted to announce that yesterday we signed an additional, new licence with E1 to produce a range of wooden Peppa Pig toys and products. This new multi-territory licence deal (which includes Europe and Australia) will run through to December 2022. The initial reaction to the concepts, product ideas and designs for this wooden range from our customers has been extremely positive. The line, likely to be launched in July 2020, seems to be assured of good retail support, given its strong sustainable, recyclable and environmentally friendly credentials. I suspect we will not hear anything further on this until the end of 2020 at the earliest, although there may be some mention in the 2020 interim results due in April or the Trading Update due in September. I suspect that the Scandinavian situation, the possible effects of Brexit, and the rather gloomy AGM statement are still weighing on sentiment, which is why they have continued slipping. Also I am unsure how much the whole Covid-19 situation is affecting their manufacturing, supply chain and distribution. I think this aspect could result in further pressure on the SP, unless the situation in China starts improving and factories etc. start reopening. Overall I do not think there will any significant improvement in the SP in the near future, the best that we can hope for is a stabilisation of the SP at around the 200 mark.
