RE: What is the real cause of this drop?3 Jan 2023 19:10
16.10 - Its all about timing....some will look to make money if it goes up or down. I think if you wait for the work to be done on this well and the final results then it'll be peachy. The losers will be those that scare easily. The shorters I'm sure got a few in the industry to help their position (ye, I'm saying manipulation).
To be honest, and suggesting logic - A very small (compared to the other opportunities) anomaly opportunity has been priced as a failure even though the current proportional results are in line with target and the challenge is not a significant one (ie clearing out 20% of remaining blockage and allowing the well to clean up).
What is Alkaid in comparison to and as a percentage of the total of the SMD, SFF, BFF and Kaparuk? nice by itself but ultimately a rounding error yet its apparently 50% the value of the company? Something smells rotten.
The biggest risk here is that the above said manipulation is a deliberate act to create aan opportunity for a hostile takeover...which of course will be an American firm.
That even vaguely is in play, I'll be straight on the to SEC to call BS on this!
