SocialistB - I had the same feeling as well. Most posters here are perhaps thinking short term and don't understand the long term loss on this deal.
In simple words, assuming Goliath is £1bn, current deal gives GGP £250m but by spending about £5m on drilling few holes and proving there is something, GGP could have perhaps got £500m. In my view, that is how a strud businessmen would deal. We also have money in bank to spend £5m on drilling or else wait until a year or so to get HAV income.
GGP and even all SHs here seem confident about Goliath and other targets, its potential and its size, so it baffle me why would any intelligent man not take risk of spending £5m to gain another £250m worth of additional stake.
We have basically offered new areas to NC as a Christmas gift, they are only expected to spend $3m dollar and if they don't find anything thats gone but if they find anything they could earn Billions.
Anyway, I tried explaining yesterday but the herd on this BB started thinking I am Bob. Some stupids cannot even see persons posting history to work and think a different perspective before commenting.
Anyway happy with the gain but I was expecting much more from the JV and larger gains.
Check my posting history before calling me BOB again.. !
