i must admit i'm not best pleased by today's placing, but having calmed down and tried to look at it in the round it seems to be a positive indicator. firstly we must all breathe a sigh of relief it was 8p and not 5p. in the current AIM market any placing price that is close to the current sp is respectable. secondly, i believe this is a clearing of the decks in preparation for the good newsflow that is expected in the coming weeks, one may ask why there needs to be a placing now and not after the sp has been boosted by the good news. my take on it is that as part of the deal being negotiated with Wood Group our small fry company needs to show the shark in the tank (Wood Group) that it can bring some funds to the table. If Wood Group are going to be investing £X million then they would surely want to know what ENEG is going to be putting in. I think this a great buying opportunity if you take more than a 3-day view. I expect some transformational news in the next couple of weeks or so, and then another fillip from the start of the Spring drilling campaign in NF. The sp hasnt dropped much today and that's because the clever money is buying in here in anticipation of what is to come.
