Paul, sorry to be slow I've been in the gym all morning on the bag. I thought my next bout was imminent but you seem to be more polite today, which is nice.
Since you ask, my big picture view on this currently is mainly on the negative side as you'd expect.
AIM, and Oily's in general are predominantly swimming against the tide at the moment. Several thousand funds have applied for a name change in recent years to make them sound more ESG. Whilst most won't qualify even under greenwashing the sector is massively out of favour with the institutions.
The end of the stone age didn't happen because we ran out of stone and the narrative is firmly behind investing in company's to make us/the World carbon neutral.
That said of course there will be winners/losers/causalities along the way and I see UJO winning and losing at various times going forward. Taking the emotion out of it (if possible on this BB) then put simply and on a risk and reward weighted basis - which is the only way people should really look at investing then short term there isn't huge downside but even less upside. When news breaks on one or two of the fantastic opportunities that we get told about all day every day it will move the shareprice one way or another. But as it's not especially imminent nor as exciting as we're being led to believe I think there are better opportunities elsewhere. and so I'm happy to sit on my hands. I also think the recent market spike is a bull trap... WN could definitely make this fly and it's a much safer bet than RBD, and will be for at least the next 6-12 months IMO.
I will buy again here, but I'm not in any rush. So far I've called it correctly, am still winning and have probably owned more of these than heid and TAC combined.
It's all about perspective and balance though.
I'm off back to the gym.
