Hello all. Thought I'd check in.
WTF is going on? I cannot believe how flat this share has become in light of the successful drill, despite the funding position.
I was convinced this was going to fly after the sidetrack. I hope you are all well and being nice to each other.
I'll get back in at some point!
EVERY trade is a Buy and a Sell. You can't sell something if no one wants to buy it! The mid-price is as good an indicator as we get but which way the stock is moving, that's the real indicator. If it's moving up it's mainly buying, the other way is bad news (for some)!
Great to see a little momentum building here again. Let's hope it's sustained.
I'm sure I'll survive, Push. I didn't do it nearly enough or I'd have quite a few more. I foolishly became quite emotionally as well has financially involved. Probably because of the lovely, friendly discussion on this board! Anyway, I don't regret hanging about as I'm comfortable that I'll be rewarded at some point!
I am not down as I was very lucky with my initial entry point. I have increased my holding without increasing my initial investment by selling and buying back in lower. A crystal ball would have been nice as I didn't see us being down here again but I'm good.
Welcome Darren. As you can see from the few replies to your post so far, there are a wide breadth of views here.
My view is that the SP will improve as the gas price increases and we start to pay down the debt. There are a number of other projects that could also act as a catalyst so you got in at the perfect price point. I wish you well.
Mixed bag. Extra borrowing is annoying but talk of acquisition with it is positive.
Brockham, Lindsey, Balcombe and geothermal updates also welcome as is the talk of further SBY development.
Patience will be rewarded..... eventually!
HITS, I appreciate Major forced it through but Brexit didn't come about because of disgruntled members of the public. There was no clamour (other than within the halls of the Daily Fail offices) to leave the EU. That was the 1922 Committee and Russia (by numerous accounts).
For the more sophisticated observer (such as yourself) John Major's role was probably a talking point but Brian from The Frog and Elephant in Warrington wasn't concerned until Cameron gave them the chance to be. Not for their benefit but to put the hard right back in their box. It backfired and he slipped out the backdoor (I will never forgive that excuse for a man) but the habitual liar was way worse.
He put his stall behind Brexit in a pure act of self progression and in direct conflict with Cameron. He dragged the country out of the EU so he could become PM and never mind the consequences. He managed to draw a Royal Flush with the 80 seat majority and then he went all in on lie after lie and blew it all in a matter of months! The only surprising bit being that it was only when he gave a job to a known cex pest that it came crumbling down. The rest of it was fine!
I think we're agreeing in the main but we have varying levels of issue with different parts of the very drawn out process!
Sorry Phil, I may have drifted away from Angus again, momentarily! But I will almost certainly never let my standards drop again!
WG, feel free to list them and I'll have a look.
HITS, did the electorate have an issue with that or was it just the hard-right tory party? I was a little too young (believe it or not) to pay too much attention to it at the time although I do remember it happening, of course.
Thank you WG. I have never thought about it in those terms and I don't recall you comparing GL to Johnson but I suppose there are some parallels that could be drawn. However, our George couldn't hold a candle to Johnson when it comes to porkies!
GL might have been a "little" optimistic with some of his timelines but I don't share the view of a few frustrated investors/posters that he's lied. Plus he has achieved what he set out to do (SFB and ST are up and running) albeit pretty late and at a much higher cost. Possibly he was advised it would take as long and cost as much as it eventually did and he ignored it, in which case that would be a Johnsonism!
Drinky, it is only "done" in the view of the habitual liar of an ex-PM of ours (plus a few of his hangers on and GBeebies presenters).
When he was brexit secretary, the best example of a brexit benefit Rees-Mogg could give was that we could change the signs in the Dartford tunnel from metres to yards. Makes everyone's life better, does that!
I didn't vote for Brexit, it was a ridiculous idea and it has turned out to be even worse than I feared at the time. But I could have been swayed IF the trade deals had materialised and life was, as promised, better. It is not better by any measure. The liar got elected on the back of the pack of lies that were used to sell brexit and then spent his brief time in office going from one lie to another before thay caught up with him. Even now he's been found by a group of his peers to have lied repeatedly, he's still playing the victim! He should be behind bars!
Now we have a tory government that goes through PM's faster than Watford do managers, whose key policy is to 'stop the boats' that have massively increased in number because the tories have closed all other means for asylum seekers to get here. This is a devisive policy aimed purely at defelecting the attention away from the appalling state of the economy, NHS, public services and social care. They are corrupt to the core with PPE fraud, breaking their own laws and filling the Lords with their mates/lovers/kids.
And the current incumbant of 10DS tells people who can't afford to feed their kids to "hold their nerve" in the face of mortgages repayments almost doubling!
Not all of this is a direct result of brexit but all of it is a symptom of the government that got elected on the platform of brexit.
This country is in a mess and the quicker we get a general election, the better.
What did you expect Phil?
The problem is, if his takeover of the company comes to pass, what do we do then? The problem is that he has anywhere between 0 and 3.6bn shares and nobody knows quite how many, not even him! In fact, from post to post the number changes!
Ocelot, I have said this a few too many times over the years but this is a case of a bit more patience.
Hopefully some positivity in the interim report on Friday and the continued rise in gas prices are the catalyst we need. I'm still staggered that the success we have hasn't been rewarded in terms of SP but it WILL come.
