If you want an example of a stock that went nowhere on becoming a cash shell, look no further than Hardy Oil & Gas. You keep comparing this to a handful of stocks that went nuts on becoming a cash shell.
Hardy oil and gas officially became a cash shell a while ago with £10m in the bank plus mega bucks in tax losses and it's currently trading at £4m. A lot of people were saying that the board had a plan and that they hadn't just been sitting around doing nothing for months, well guess what, it about 3 months on now, and it's total silence.
People were joining all kinds of dots over on HDY and they were all wrong. Will something happen there? Probably, yes. When? Nobody knows, and that's my point. Nobody knows when anything will happen here. There have been umpteen extensions already, so why not another? The company will a shell with very little cash after the disposal and this is all one big gamble on speculation that there is a RTO with FURA coming.
Do I think this is a bad investment? No I don't, it's probably a better gamble than a few on AIM, but all this talk of multiple pennies is ludicrous. In all fairness, there probably isn't that much downside from this level, unless there is another extension, but why can't people just be realistic. All these valuations being thrown around are based on pure hypothesis/fantasy, nothing more and nothing less. Until we see a RNS saying exactly what the board are doing, all this talk of fairy tales does this stock and everyone else a disservice IMO.
