RE: Funding7 May 2021 10:30
Good luck with your end of month decision, Yanis.
I have done similar. I was awaiting the IQ answers last week to gauge a sense of any update, and was giving the bod until this week to announce the funding news before taking some action.
For transparency, I have sold 1/3 of my ISA holding this morning, at a circa 45% loss, and have my non-ISA position on at a limit close to the current mid, which will be a 10% loss. I will sell this position regardless if not filled today.
This is much better than I could have imagined after Brockham when over 90% down, so not too disappointed given what this could have been, other than not taking anything out at the pre-Jan placing RNS spike when I was almost at break-even. Hindsight!
Since Brockham, I have always only been here for SF, and always had a more conservative target of 2p to 2.5p compared to many, but my expectation was for first gas at the end of last year, or Jan 2021 at the latest.
I cannot see gas until next year now, tbh, and feel that even my target SP is being eroded away, despite some of the valuations being bandied about this week on the bacl of this AAOG situation.
The ISA funds were always being allocated to a building job that was scheduled for this year and is starting this month, so will be put to good use, and the non-ISA trade will cover the cost of the 6 cases of wine purchased over the last lockdown, so will give me some enjoyment over the next 10-15 years too.
For my remaining holding, my intention is to sell half on funding news (if good) on any spike, and let the rest ride, but that will depend on the news released.
Happy with my decision here, so not interested in comments about selling so soon before news.
We have been waiting far too long on all fronts with SF. I have been patient (and positive) for the past year and more, but since Jan my patience has been tested, and my (reasonable) expectations continually dashed.
Good luck all
