lowboy, i agree with your assessment of the developing world.
Africa for example will grow new car use 20 fold by 2030 with used car use on a similar 20 fold scale.
Thats just cars, half the world is going through an Industrial Revolution then they gain a middle class and then factories to supply products to that middle class.
With regard to Tullow I am attracted to the fact that very early on in the crisis they cut costs massively from $45 to $35 a barrel overall operating costs. They also hedged 60% of their production at $57 2020 which has allowed for the massive restructuring in cutting costs.
Also, they are looking to lower debt which also reduces their debt payments year on year.
The $500m from Total for example obviously will have an impact on debt payments going forward with $75m still due in.
Out of every listed oil company it got smashed down more than the others with the exception of Premier Oil which in my eyes makes Tullow Oil a Takeover target just like Premier Oil was.
