RE: Bryan Larkin7 Aug 2020 16:58
He is doing a good job but far from the perfection some are placing on the wee man's shoulders. At the end of the day he will be judged by shareholders on how much of a return he makes for them and at the moment he is failing on that on all counts.
For me he made a mistake of moving from the main list to Aim. That should have been a big red flag for me but I believed him when he said they needed to do. Of course understandably it was so he could issue confetti to get his deals across the line.
But most companies when doing a transformational deal come back to the market stronger, see Sqz for a start, but we came back significantly lower after Larkin could only get 3p away even though he had persuaded BP to come in on the deal, blaming all sorts of problems for the low raising. And from that we have never recovered. We have had too many shares issued in to loose hands in a short space of time and we have a 114m overhang from Rkh.
Now as much as we are producing 3000bpd and have other decent assets we can't get the mkt cap to hold above £20m. So all though he has done well let's not go patting him on the back until he makes us some decent money. There is every chance that the king of blarney may roll the dice again for another project and set the confetti printing machine going again while we are still flailing about below 4p and below many people's averages.
