Imo, they should be seen as manipulation. Certainly rules in place on the LSE but they never enforce them. Gives those initiating the autoboots an unfair advantage. Prices to buy or sell can be agreed and the sp manipulated to suit their agenda. Of course good or bad news can momentarily nullify them but they kick again when volume stabilises.
This company does remind me of SLP, similar fundamentals. Profit making, cash in bank, low extraction costs, reserves rising. Share price drifted between 7p and 9p for months on end. Investors discussing poor share price performance even though the fundamentals were good. Then without reason a total reversal.
Yesterday's news was disappointing and to be honest not totally unexpected in terms of exploration but the negative news brought the inevitable AIM overreaction. Unfortunately it's part of the course. The reaction to Put-8 RNS was ignored by the market but now that AMER have exercised their first refusal option their assets will be of further interest to it's competitors. Hoping that ONGC can move things along and get some spudding news out. Great entry price at this level.
