Thanks Nikb. The lack of reserves/replacement has surprised me. Strange why Shell persist with buyback. But l see most UK companies doing the same. No point in investing if profits taxed away. Maybe I am wrong but the downward pressure on RKH seems to have subsided. So hopefully can now start moving up.
It does look a bit grim out there. I think it was said on CNBC this week that for every 6 barrels used, only 1 is being replaced.
I topped up £20k this afternoon when the oil price recovered. Whether that proves a mistake only time will tell. But I can see takeovers on the oil patch becoming more likely.
Going by the Roast podcast, further drilling is still required etc at AFP. But this was always a longer term play which I assume will be sold at some point. But interesting numbers in the podcast which gives us some ideas about current copper valuations.
Seems a fair price in regards to AFP. I have to admit I feel this dd is taking an age. But I doubt Colin would have bought more on the open market unless he was confident. And he also said there were other interested parties in funding it so hopefully no issue.
Gordon Brown sold of our gold reserves and bought US bonds. I started buying gold on the back of that decision as it showed he was clueless. I think gold was $300 an ounce at that point !
Interesting stuff. Thanks. Just seems such an outsider though. JLP etc to me seem more likely. But will take a big rise in shareprice however it comes !
