I,ve bought SPC back in 2003 at $2.54 & watch it went down to 90 cts.Manage to hold until 2006 & sold at $3.18.Now time to buy back below $2, how about that for a long term investor who knows nothing about SPC.

 

Ask yourself was SPC making more money when crude oil price was at a high or when crude oil price was at a low like in 2001? Last year when SPC made a record profit, crude oil price was high. Trace back to see what was SPC price when crude oil price was at a low in 2001.

 

If crude oil price falls further and oil product prices follow suit, you won't have much "price spread" to make a profit

 

yup, thinking same as urs.

 

Ok that means its rebounding!

waiting patiently 2 enter spc at 1.70

 

There are more new refineries coming online and just be aware of that

 

I mentioned a few times not to buy this stock and not because of some great dividend of the past 

 

This dosen't look good.

In 3Q08, they had a inventory writedown of $125m (approx 24.3 c per share) but offset by a derivative gain of $113.9 (approx 22.2 c ps).

If they have a inventory writedown of the same scale without the benefit of derivative gain, it will practically wipe off half the YTD (9 mth) eps of 54c.

Looks like Xmas came early for nickyng.

AK_Francis      ( Date: 12-Dec-2008 11:02) Posted: Previous day,market alrdy knew Russia intervention in CO output may affect CO price. SPC earning mainly base on earning per barrel. Under volatile CO market, that will affect its profit.  Its own oil field's output may see higher profit when CO px up, but thats not substantial as compared to its refining biz. If it secured CO reserve with lower price and with higher CO price later, thats will bring much better profitx. Yesterday, its intraday high was 2.29, and went down to 2.18 after profit taking. BBs were playing this counter. Ds morning its high was 2.32, now heavy blocking at 2.26. Players are around. Today, is TGIF, unloading n profit taking remain the main key player's strategy.   Above is for info, no call for anything. CA applies. P.S. AK wanted to tech naked shorting this burger, but as PM not around, didn't do anything.

shplayer      ( Date: 08-Dec-2008 16:16) Posted: Yes, 4Q08 is still challenging. The unknown factor is the inventory writedown on falling CO prices. However, I think this should have a smaller impact in 4Q than in 3Q cos CO price range in 3Q was approx USD60 and that of 4Q is approx USD40 (to date). Refining margins for Oct08 (1st mth of 4Q) seems more promising than Jul and Aug 08 (first 2 mths of 3Q)....so, perhaps 4Q RM, main factor of SPC's income stream, will be better than 3Q. In 3Q, SGD was strong but relatively stable against USD (1.35 to 1.40) but weaker in 4Q (1.45 to 1.52). The weaker SGD should bode well to the bottomline for Downstream (RM) and Upstream (oil/gas sales) revenue but will not be so good for inventory writedown....so this factor is difficult to predict. So, my est of 4Q08 eps of about 6c is just a gut feel guess. My est of FY09 eps of 30-40c is because I think RM will remain moderate......USD 3-7 per bbl and CO will not be too strong (USD 40 - 60 per bbl)
