RE: Reabold LTH's - Beware what you wish for!!28 Oct 2022 02:40
S.McN. Thank you for at least replying with courtesy and a very logical comment!
Furious no! Shocked and disappointed, absolutely!
Initially my expectations were high, based on the base case shown in one of the company's presentations. Then the price of gas started to increase significantly above the base case of 50p/therm, so I think we all had high expectations!
Reading this BB I had began to conclude that the minimum price to Reabold (to "break even" with sentiment, was about £30m to RBD. So a sale price of £60m. Anything above would have been very positive to me. Anything below would be (was) a big disappointment!
So I aksed myself, why and how did that very low sale prices happen? Are S&S so incompetent? Well, despite what almost all of our understandably very frustrated and disappointed investors participating here think, NO THEY ARE NOT!!
If we think we're "half intelligent", if Victory was so valuable, desirable as a resource, and so sought after, why wasn't there a bidding war between all the interested parties we "outsiders" assumed there were??? Even those on here who are so rude and crude and denigrate themsleves every time they Post, by calling S&S cretins and scum-bags, surely can't be so half-witted themselves, as to believe if there had have been interest in the Victory asset, S&S would not have moved on to the next higher bidder???
Why was a second CPR financed for Victory by S&S i.e Reabold (After Corallian had already financed and conducted one?). Probably because the Industry had no faith in the asset.
So OF COURSE WITH HIND SIGHT, I now conclude/suspect/realise there was no interest in Victory from any of the "big players"! If there had have been, it's obvious there would have been a bidding war......and there wasn't! In hind sight we should all realise that, however hard a pill it is to swallow!
In the last couple of days I did share with a colleague, that in hind sight S&S made a big error by "not managing we Investors expectations"!!! And then again when I thought about that conclusion, one also realises, "How do Directors lower Investors' expectaions without trashing their company's SP and scoring an "own goal".
Having read all the recent vile abuse and critcism currently being hurled at S&S (not specifically by you S.McN I hasten to add!), I am appalled by the lack of deep thought, those making the abuse exhibit!
RBD SH's need to careful what they wish for. It's very easy to follow a "Pied Piper" suggesting he can deliver better, when his own track record is criticised by those who know him well!
LTA genuine LTH's. NK.
