Unfortunately the current market is in no mood for "World leader in ...." bull****, Look at DDDD and LAM two companies whose finances have been stretched to breaking point by over zealous management writing cheques they couldn't cover. DP and the idiot Baber have a lot of question to answer regarding the financial exposure they have put us in by continuing to plough cash into pipeline projects before closing out any.
Whilst "Pipeline of Pipelines" , Partnerships and JV are all well and good, sometimes you just need to pull up the barricades a little, slow the spending and secure some revenue that pays the bills first, before consolidating and pressing on.
Not sure the arrogance of DP fully gets the mood the markets are in at the moment, cash is king and there are a fair few more AIM companies that have survived the last 3 years on pixie dust and shareholder cash that will struggle to continue as the later dries up. (Look at ODX they are not long for this world after shareholders turned on long bull sh itting management)
At present EQT have considerable agreed financing (probably more by luck than judgement) they can call on so we aren't at risk of a working capital shortage anytime soon, what we are in danger of is having to spread ourselves so thin with regards keeping all the stalled projects ongoing, that none actually make any headway and our cash stays tied up for years to come.
Sure to get news on Deeside tomorrow though, EQT surely wouldn't leave it to the last day to update its valued shareholders !
