It is crazy that on Friday I bought for 268, yet once the bad news was announced the price was 277. That makes no sense at all. I hope the price cools off a bit, to facilitate buying more back. I think it will over a 2 week period.

BatM was also tipped in this weeks Investors Chronical 25th Feb.
I see you have linked to a different article (no doubt will be in next weeks print copy).
There is also another Shore capital note out, though I don't have permission to read it (what the point?)

Nice write up Agri.

Going to take a few days to figure that out. Think the headline numbers were already indicated in the trading update, so possibly priced in, but hard to tell as the price has been manipulated so much recently, hard to know what is normal. Im happy with my holding, still say 60p is a good first target perhaps leading up to the AGM on the 17th. (That is still 10% if buying in now).

I read that as 130M revenue excluding the sale of NG soft. (I had predicted about 120 including the sale).
50M operating profit is very good, EPS a bit lower than I was predicting. need a few coffees to really crunch the numbers.

Cheers Ripley. hoping for a good day here and on the markets but not sure which way it will go today!

Thanks. Best invest (Which isn't really aimed at frequent trading). If you do a limit order, you have to enter a minimum of 1 day that it is valid for, but that is the current day plus the minimum you stipulate. You can try and cancel them, but some times that doesn't work or can take many hours, so I don't rely on being able to cancel. I normally use the limit order when I am getting NT on my platform, and I set a price that I will get more or less immediately. I have set up an IG account, last week but not used yet as not added funds. Another annoyance of Best Invest is that it does not update with new stocks, so I see a great stock and then I cant buy it because its too new (like 18 months and still not added). It has my SIPP in it, so not going to move it, but will start using the IG account soon. Was just interested, thanks.

Market needs both types, Mike. That's how someone can buy in here at 2.4p wait a small number of weeks and get the prize, while others are trapped here for years feeling frustration. I think iv done about 12 hours of research on this before buying in 10 weeks back, I have not read anything below that makes me think any one else understands what needs to happen or how these deals work. I wont be sharing any more of my insight as I'm not interested in a dick waving competition. Ill leave you all to your echo chamber.

The complexity of the deal is clearly lost on you both.

Ripley, Are you able to enter buy orders that expire on the same day, and by the sounds of it at a specific time? What platform please, that sounds handy. (Mine have to be +1 working day) i.e. today then Monday.

Bought some more.

Just got some more. If a short is buying, then I wanted to make it harder for them.

Nearly back to pre-invasion share price. Like it was all a bad dream.

This dropped about 8p in a day when it was being aggressively shorted. Could it go back as fast?

Dammn it, I wanted more under 7p.

I liked this from Warren Buffet:

"You're going to invest your money in something over time. The one thing you could be quite sure of is if we went into some very major war, the value of money would go down." "That's happened in virtually every war that I'm aware of," Buffett continued. "So the last thing you'd want to do is hold money during a war."

Could SQZ be a farm out partner here? They have lots of cash, and operating the North Sea?
(Im not a O&G expert, sorry if it is a silly question)

4 weeks today... That is nothing in terms of a complex business deal. I cant stress enough how complex this deal might look, with multiple third parties. If you study the presentations carefully you will know that the project requires to raise finance, and I expect this is the drag IMO. Covid might play a part, if a key person is ill, but as I said the purchase of the coal and coking operation in Australia would have probably occupied the same key people. I still say the increase in Doid share price is a result of the benefits from the coal deal, plus coal has increased in price, by about 15% since February. Doid is currently valued as a coal company.

The longer it takes, the less I am concerned. I always say in these situations, it is easy to say no, and if it was the case that they couldn't arrive at a deal between them, I think we would know already. They are probably working their asses off to get a favourable finance deal that they can all be happy with. In parallel I expect doid are doing the sums to go it alone.

I expect an RNS on Monday with either an extension, update or deal. I think they didn't give a time line because they were very close to a deal. Maybe they can use some Russian money that has just left London!

Just my musings, I could be wrong of coarse!

Results out Monday...
Uncertain world, this company has some of the solutions. You could say that this a sudo defence company.
50p just gone, but 55p or 60p will seem cheap one those buy backs kick in (which sound like they are on the open market have read the general meeting proposal).

OK, I guess IQE are happy to keep investing in Taiwan - they cant really back out now.
I still think it could happen, and long term business would carry on as usual, but if it did happen this would drop significantly, that is when I would buy, once the price was discounted for the risk, not before. Best of luck.
