CPG - translation of US dollar long-term debt is so clearI am being sarcastic, another con job hidden behind words you have to dissect with reluctant inside experts to finally understand the crudeness of the gambling behind the words.
Oh I get it , its not the oil hedges that are that bad, I agree. but how do you explain this:
Translation of US dollar long-term debt , whatever that means, is a 124 million dollar loss in ONE yes ONE quarter.Forget the oil business.
Was it gambling? Hedges are supposed to provide stability. Where is the stability in a 124 million dollar loss in one quarter. Can anyone explain the puts and calls involved. the strike prices, exposure and amounts bet?
C'mon its an oil company and this Baccarat tabler bet turned sour. Foreign exchange? How the hell did that go wrong? Will this still be there in this quarter? How come nobody here ever explains that, its the biggest part of the loss and nobody asks for easy to understand the bets they took and how much was bet .
Even the analysts at the phone conference dont ask and this was a surprise , question they should ask - Explain the loss in detail, what went wrong?
I want to know, where is the answer? Oh, sorry , let me be precise , on what page of what report again because apparently i would be lazy?
