With respect Tony, the dividend cannot be fact until it is finalized as you said yourself. That's supposition until a concrete date for payment is RNS'd surely.
Your 3rd point is one I agree with, I said as much in my post, it was also inflated IMHO by promises of a Q1 divi, imminent Serenity F/O etc.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not 100% down with the company, I'm just not happy that, having waited patiently for promised news, that they have not furnished us with said dividend or news on the F/O.
It would also be more PI friendly if they RNS'd us on purchases and drilling (spending our money before they do it)
I don't expect them to seek our approval, just keep us in the loop. The catastrophic duster that set us on a downward spiral in the North sea was drilled in a risky position that none of us (well NEARLY none ) knew about until it was too late, the first we knew was a 40% fall in the SP in about 60 minutes.
I have no wish to be a mud (no pun intended) slinger but my opinion may differ from others here.
I'm still a holder here because this is a producing company with the potential for a great future given the facts (!) furnished by the BOD, the POO and tax credits could not give a fledgling company a better start.
I just wish they would tell us more, more often, demostrating their enthusiasm for their own company would go a long way to bolstering the SP and cost very little overall.
