No offence taken

Am not ranting, just saying that two directors have history at board level with BP. As in bridge you do not necessarily reveal your hand to the other sharks at the table. Those two directors have all the contacts at BP that they need? I would like it to be Hess, as am holder, yet do not see it myself.

Seems to make sense.

Here comes the judge!

If we are speculating on whom the Bigboy is, I think my money would be on BP, as at least two of the bod have significant history with that company. Also it would make sense to me, though possibly not to anyone else, for BP to go for an exclusive, especially if trying to steal a project from under the nose of Shell

That didn't come out as expected!

👍

Did you say wine or winge?

I like it!

My usual average investment is only 6% of portfolio.

Sorry friend but am LTH, and very rearly sell. Will not invest more than 25% of portfolio in any one share, no matter how good the prospect. Just waiting the good times

Sorry to say, did read 87p, yet first to admit, may have been another co, as I follow a few. Sorry if inaccurate, did not mean to ruffle yer feathers.

The shares have in the passed reached 87p, I would like to see them reach that again, £1 a share would be a dream, yet may be out of reach.

Well, what can I say, with McQ on board, this has gone a long way to slating my fears of a sellout by the bod, yippee!!!!

Good morning all, I attempted to get people thinking yesterday about the level at which they would sell out. I note that their was a certain amount of resistance to my posts. Any takeover is like a game of chess, you have pieces that you move, countering the moves of the other parties. So you have the shareholders of both target and aiming companies and the respective bod's. In order to influence any action, you need 10% of stockholders to band together. Thus I suggested holders of a certain number of shares, band together. This was negatively viewed. I also suggested that we not sell cheaply, some, no name no pack drill, would sell at 20p, other attempted to ridicule the idea that we could, or should attempt to influence the sell price, if too low. If you do not think of these things now, you stand a good chance of being picked off at a cheap price. I do not know this chairman, I hope he get's the best deal for all, not just the bod. I have other companies that I need to keep an eye on, and thus hope I have sown the seed and it germinates, good Luke to us all

if the large holders, eg 1,000,000 plus could stand together then we may stand a chance

just what I am saying, do not sell too cheap!

the bod will give a recommendation, which does not have to be accepted by shareholders. I have known instances where a bod has given a recommendation that was accepted by the shareholders, and the company was sold too cheaply, clogue gold for instance.

Hold for the farm in, if big boy attempts to buy at present level do not sell, make em increase the offer substantially.

If the big boy is shell, legend pay a fair price, not squeeze us to get it on the cheap
