Ortus, agreed - the prospects look very good. Hopefully, right place, right time.

wish for this company, apart from ongoing success, is that it doesn't become a traders paradise. What we need is good steady progress and a gradual accretion of the share price. It would be so refreshing to have an investment which doesn't attract the loons.

Jersey, that's true of every company.

This article confirms the macro picture that most of us have been highlighting for the past few years. Running alongside it is the imperative for the majors to acquire whatever assets are available.
This isn't going away and sets the scene for our future.

Q, sadly, you are totally incapable of understanding any form of humour. Mogg's comment was clearly said jokingly - he even put one of those smiley things at the end of the post just to prove the point.

Bozi, did anyone say we did? Did anyone suggest that by the mere fact of opening an office in Toronto was proof BHP would bid? The answer is, no. It's you and our resident BBM who made the inference.

Q, honestly, you really do make me laugh.

Q, yup, I'm sure you're right...you are on everything else.

But why would you believe this article? It wasn't issued by our board, so it can't be true.

in the Telegraph reiterated their bullish stance today. They see it as the most reliable income stock in the FTSE and are of the opinion it's significantly undervalued.

Bigmj, well done, looks like a good decision.
Nate, you may well be right - judging the entry price here is not going to be easy.

Would have loved to have been part of the placing and hovered over the buy button this morning, but was concerned about the opening premium. Will it drop back later, or continue to rocket. Either way, it's a very interesting prospect.

Your naivety is a joy to behold.

BP, ha, ha, but the thing is it would be both.
If we had 40 shareholders with 1% each, management with 20% and the rest made up of retail investors, it would indeed be a 'diverse book' (btw, it's time we started referring to it by its proper description i.e a diverse share register). But we don't. We have four shareholders with 40% and not only that, but three shareholders who appear to have worked together and the other one who will almost certainly support BHP when the chips are down.
This is not a diverse register - quite the contrary, it's a weakness, as was demonstrated in December.
Anyway, it would be a very short and boring book, wouldn't it?

SM, the fact he put himself up for re-election tells you all you need to know about his intentions.

a very interesting full length article in the business section of the Telegraph today which outlines exactly why hydrogen is the future fuel of choice.
Sadly, it's behind a paywall, but if you can get a copy it's well worth reading.

How does that support your argument? I didn't say it would happen, merely that it made it more likely. And what happened? Your mate put forward two special resolutions which were patently futile and he got his arse kicked and lost his job. The agm result and forced resignation of Mather almost certainly avoided a hostile bid.

Q, wrong, yet again. I explicitly said I did not expect any immediate reaction. And do I need to remind you that as soon as the restrictions were removed BHP exercised their influence? And they won.

DBW, you talk about the 'diverse book' existing as if it were deliberate creation and part of some grand master plan. That is simply not the case.
And for heavens sake don't fall for the nonsense which suggests it's the definitive defence mechanism. It's a huge weakness for this company. As was so ably demonstrated in December.

Q says (sarcastically) "everyone on here thinks CGP wants to sell". Well, yes we do, and there's a good reason for that...they've said so.
