Patience rewarded19 Jan 2020 10:14
One of the few E & P that has rewarded its LTH's, which will not only provide a dividend but act as a catalyst for the share price, which should re adjust to a higher level baseline and give additional reward. My tortoise has far outstripped my hares (ECO and i3e) which have stalled at the last hurdle.
As Mr Hardy has not taken some profits in the last year, its somewhat perplexing that a Midlands businessman did not reward himself and shrewdly take of the table his initial purchase to derisk somewhat. I did myself at 141p - although mostly repurchased at sub 110p!! Perhaps some derisking after dividend taken, but time will tell.
I will also keep an eye on HOT and DIVI, OIT and several other investment trusts, re purchase for dividend.
Do see us north of 140p prior to April so lets hope 2020 goes in a similar vein and we maintain SP whilst concentrating on Columbus, R3 and North Eigg. Icing on the cake would be to find out that Namibia was farmed out, although I think we will be disappointed. GLA
