It's galling how some of these big caps like GVC and VOD have halved in value in recent times.

Wouldn't surprise me if there's something bad in the GVC figures possibly related to Ladbrokes.

It's easy - I bought some recently. Happens to everything I go for. I buy - the sp falls and keeps going. 100% of the time.

Agree ISF and the like are a reasonably safe bet despite volatility. Interesting to compare with RDSB which is a kind of FTSE proxy and which pays a slighly higher dividend. Over the past 5 yeats the latter would have been better if you reinvested the dividends.
Neither are as good as an International index e.g Legal & General.
One thing you can be sure of though: whatever you go for the tide will then change.

Joe,
I've tried too and lost the plot.
The way I see it is that they are dependent on getting production going and hence revenue by the summer otherwise I guess there's gonna be a fund raise or maybe sell off of additional licenses.
Prospects are good but things have yet to be proven.

I was of the opinion recently that we'll not see much above 140 again for some time due to the long term downtrend.

But we've seen a higher high since Jan.

Hoping therefore we might be on an uptrend. If the dividend payout is maintained a re-rating would seem logical.

Innit.

The percentages being pure guesses of course and to temper expectations.

Let's see where we are in the autumn.

Even the sp just holds here - as long as the dividend is sustained then it's better than the bank.

Dilution by any chance?

Tee-hee.

Apart from the technicality of getting an extraction pipe up and running which i'm sure is just a matter of time, I suppose the real unknown is how much it'll take to get the oil flowing (for any length of time). A 100% positive result has got to be more than a quick spurt or dribble. If not a visit to the urology dept is in order.

I feel that this has more going for it as a recovery play than HUR which is yet to be proven albeit with a tad less debt!

I also feel that a feeling is just as valid as any analysis!

well well wellwell has gone. Well...

Think this is similar to the moon landing i.e. propect of successful FOIL. Brilliant if it works ok. If there's a problem, well....

However, even if the operation isn't successful until well into the summer, I'd hope that we can still take comfort in the fact that the oil is still there. Unless it's a complete scam!

Guess the rise is down to last weeks announcement.

My target is mid 30s but nothing whatsoever to base this on other than hope. It was mid 30s not so long ago.

Down probably.

Keeps stepping down. Annoying 5% spread is offputting. Relatively low P/E now. Good dividend.
Occasionally mentioned by NT which might explain a few buys.
Brexit risk I should think.
Needs better results next time to turn it.

Volatile buy price but sell price is kept low. Maybe it's to stop day traders.

I don't quite understand the results and suspect there's some creative accounting going on. Revenue is rising but profits are NOT rising plus there is more debt. It is noticable that the highlights don't say profit is increasing and just talk of revenue.

The upgrade is either because others don't understand the figures either and have just looked at the gross profit, or 'the market' sees good growth prospects. I more subscribe to the latter and despite what I've said above feel the company is undervalued.

That's funny wellwell.
Anything can happen but as long is the oil is there and is recoverable sustainably we should all be ok.
Looking for some wood to touch. Can't see any so will have to make do with my head.

Yeah looking at the sp chart one might expect a bounce any day.

Funny how some stocks have this up and down pattern for no obvious reason save for the robots. These and shorting should be illegal.

I may well have missed something profound but the business looks like a good one. Potentially anyways.
The P/E is only 10.
I suppose it needs some positive news to warrant a re-rating.
