COPL's short close out - Zak commented...3 Feb 2021 22:37
While some of the Reddit army’s short squeeze mania has faded, it did seem to be the case that there was short covering / overhang clearing detected by traders in Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL). Here the stock was up 11%, to close at 0.245p. Most notably the shares have remained well above the December £6m placing price at 0.2p for the whole of the intervening period. Thus Canadian Overseas has obeyed the useful rule of thumb regarding funding where the shares remain at or above the placing price in the most bullish of situations. Given that we are in the run up to the completion of the well received Atomic Energy deal later this month, investors have a pleasingly tight timeframe to focus on currently at the oil and gas group.
