Hi Trek,
I am confused, If you have no cash to trade how can you then invest heavily if it drops?
I agree that in many instances, especially when it comes to high risk exploration, it is perfectly normal to see opinions change in line with an individuals book. This will include but is not limited to, reducing exposure prior to results and/or in the most blatant and disrespectful or cases, a significant change of tone on public forums. It only grates as it insults existing investors intelligence.
In all honesty, DM’s latest interview and stated hope that this first exploration well becomes our first discovery well must be based on the data he has seen to date. It would imply that the second gas show is likely to be presented as a discovery IMO.
Having benefited from first move advantage, the land grab to date and multiple identified prospects have now been further derisked due to the proven helium charge within the basin, and of course a better understanding of the geology.
We can also now consider that with an inefficient seal now being characterized as an effective seal in two instances, our COS has also increased significantly.
I totally agree that in the event that this well has to be abandoned due to technical issues (IMO, pure speculation at this stage and highly unlikely), a drop in the share price would be matched by willing buyers, many of which will be those that have derisked prior to results. Especially when this is the first of four wells and who is to say that drill bit will ever stop turning in the event of success. PANR fall from 35p to 18p and then rerating to 60p odd is a classic example. For an exploration play, it remains a well balanced risk v reward investment with plenty of scope to the upside.
