drbubb Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 The Former-Oil-God speaks Legendary Oil Trader Is Bullish On Oil Prices By Tsvetana Paraskova - Dec 14, 2018 Legendary oil trader Andy Hall, who was nicknamed oil ‘God’ for profitably predicting a bull run in oil prices in the past, told Bloomberg TV on Thursday that oil prices would rise from current levels, as they may have hit the bottom after plunging by 30 percent in just two months. “I think with prices hovering around or a little over $50 a barrel, I think you would have to have a pretty negative outlook on the global economy to believe that prices will continue their downward trajectory,” Hall told Bloomberg TV in an interview, noting that he doesn’t see a global recession soon. Moreover, a slump in oil prices like the one we’ve seen over the past two months typically slows down supply growth while boosting demand, if there isn’t a global economic slowdown. Lower prices will undoubtedly impact U.S. production growth, Hall said, but added that the surge in American oil production above expectations has been the biggest surprise this year. In the weeks leading up to the OPEC+ meeting in Vienna, Hall was one of the analysts expecting an OPEC-assisted rebound in prices. “The balance of risk at this point favors some sort of recovery,” Hall said in an interview with Bloomberg in November, two weeks before OPEC and its Russia-led non-OPEC partners decided to cut a total of 1.2 million bpd of oil production for six month beginning in January, with an option to review the agreement in April. Before the new OPEC+ deal, the stronger U.S. dollar against emerging-market currencies and concerns over the U.S.-China trade war were weighing on demand, while inventories were rising, according to Hall. Hall, the oil trader who had bet on higher oil prices for more than a decade, continued to hold his bullish view even after the 2014 oil price crash. But in the summer of 2017, he closed his main fund Astenbeck after the fund posted double-digit losses. > more: https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Legendary-Oil-Trader-Is-Bullish-On-Oil-Prices.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted December 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 The stock market just booked its ugliest Christmas Eve plunge — ever Dow skids to end down 2.9%; S&P 500 on cusp of bear market U.S. oil suffers worst 1-day decline in about three months as risk assets get bludgeoned (WTI -$ $3.06, or 6.7%, to $42.53 ) Oil Service - Bells are Not ringing yet ... MDR etc : OHI-led : The S&P 500 index SPX, -2.71% fell by 2.7% Monday, marking the first session before Christmas that the broad-market benchmark has booked a loss of 1% or greater — ever. That statistic has been confirmed by Dow Jones Market Data, which said the largest decline in the index on the trading day before Christmas was Dec. 23 in 1933. All three indexes have fallen for four straight sessions. The Nasdaq has skidded 8.7% in that time, while the Dow has lost 8% and the S&P 7.7%. The trio is on track for the ugliest monthly drop since October of 2008, during the heart of the 2008-09 financial crisis. Last week was the worst week of trading since the financial crisis of 2008. The Nasdaq officially entered bear-market territory on Friday, and has now plunged 23.6% from its record close set Aug. 29. The S&P has slumped 19.8% from its Sept. 20 record close, and the Dow has slid 18.8% from its Oct. 3 record close. . . . Crude-oil futures on Monday logged their worst one-day drop in about three months and closed at the lowest level in about two years. February West Texas Intermediate CLG9, -6.38% crude oil shed $3.06, or 6.7%, to settle at $42.53 a barrel. That close represents the lowest for WTI since around 2016, and the worst single-session decline for the U.S. oil benchmark since Nov. 23, according to FactSet data. Nagging concerns about global crude output and fears of an economic slowdown internationally have eroded appetite for crude, which has gotten swept up in a broad unraveling of demand for assets perceived as risky.

drbubb Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 (I explained a TIMING issue in this entry in my Diary): BUYING NGD/Newgold Feb.$0.50 Calls was an end of the year trade. A bit like the Oil Service stocks*. (I thought we would see a shift from selling to buying in NGD, because it was : Biggest Loser of 2018, among Gold Miners: -73%.) Many were Selling during December to lock in Tax Losses. That pressure ends completely in the new year. And those who sold earlier may re-enter the stock, locking in a tax loss, and to establish a new position at Lower cost.

I’d had a nibble of MDR and it’s paid off nicely. It was a bit random, gut instinct to go with them out of all your drillers but I got in near the end on Thursday’s leg up. To be honest I was a little concerned I’d got in on a wave that would ebb away, but no it’s kept rising. My only slight conundrum is MUX being so unloved. Are the shorts in control there?

drbubb Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 One buying the Other?? ... at a raise bid Ensco proposes raising stock exchange ratio for Rowan buyout to 2.600 from 2.215 Ensco raises proposed stock exchange ratio for buyout bid for Rowan Ensco raises proposed stock exchange ratio for buyout bid for Rowan By Tomi Kilgore Published: Jan 14, 2019 Shares of Ensco PLC ESV, -0.80% sank 4.8% in premarket trade Monday, after the oil services company said it proposed raising the stock exchange ratio for its buyout bid of Rowan Companies RDC, +7.16% after Ensco's stock tumbled since the deal was announced in October. Rowan's stock rose 0.7% ahead of the open. Under the new proposal, Ensco would exchange 2.600 of its shares for each Rowan share outstanding, up from a previous proposal of 2.215 shares. Based on Friday's closing prices, the new ratio would value Rowan's stock at $11.34 each. That's 8.2% above Friday's closing price for Rowan's stock, but 39.6% below the implied value of the original deal, which was announced ahead of the Oct. 8 open.

jerpy Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Really surprised at MDR (and all your OIH portfolio), having bought at an average 7.28, set myself a mental target price of $8.50 and for me I was quite disciplined selling at that level. Truth is, my decision was more I didn’t expect it to keep galloping on so quickly. Not being greedy it was a good start for my trading year, so happy with the profit; still surprised though.
