Simple really, there are 3 cohorts. Long, short, flat.
The we’ll result will be the result and 1 of the cohorts will do well against the other 2…pick your cohort, pick your time horizon or target and let’s see
People may wish to reflect that not only would sending out positive signals without fair and reasonable cause impact the company financially and financial interests but there’s also the companies reputational standing with the industry / dependencies such as the LNG pipeline.
With 40% of frac fluid back, if it didn’t look like the outcome on a fair and reasonable basis would be in the commercial window then that would be the time to manage expectations.
Not go on Alaska industry conferences and run positive interviews after an adverse market reaction to an RNS that wasn’t negative
If I’m wrong then the board have wider issues…but I just can’t see that being the case
Agreed…I don’t waste my time worrying about things I can’t control and the markets expectations of other peoples strategies are certainly in that bucket.
I have my view and position which is within my control
This I’ve resigned myself to there being no ramp up into results. Shame because on good results you’d get a good % rise but it’s starting from a lower base than most would have anticipated.
Result is everything and that drives the rapid (in O&G terms) further developments and I’m sure in a sunny day environment the share price would catch up but the lack of enthusiasm is disappointing to investors as I’m sure it is to the board.
Nothing can be done about it I guess….will just focus on hoping the result is over the hurdle we need to continue moving forward
Maybe the RNS was too sparse and/or AIM participants are too nervous/ill researched but confident at this moment the confidence in a good result remains
(This doesn’t play into the company’s vision that being on a more senior exchange will not only provide better capital opportunities but also share price stability. AIM listings have been falling away for years and it’s unfortunate that the market itself is bringing it’s own downfall)
Whilst I don’t wish anyone ill regarding their choices or what might be an opportunity lost , from my own position I’m hoping for positive results in or around Christmas so that all the longs have a great festive season
Be interesting to see if they want to issue news over Christmas, often quieter…might be a good thing or not…
And before anyone chimes in….i know they have an obligation to disclose but surely there’s a realisation that they can spin that a bit under the umbrella of review and analysis
16.06…they cost saving of not having to re inject the gas is more than the amount we’ll be paid for it …either way the gas contract, if signed, is a good thing
Not sure that’s the right question…everyone agrees the oil is there and plenty of exploration wells to prove plus independent analysis
Next point - will it flow…next few weeks will prove of disprove
Next point - If proven then there is the risk of development costs (this will just be higher or lower numbers) but they are on top of existing infrastructure and if the gas’s is good then Both have a reducing effect on costs and can commit to the lng supply
Once those points are cleared its execute the development program and the returns start coming in…quite quickly this will become self sustainable
