Bigbench is spot on when he says...20 Aug 2019 17:16
"its beyond me why the SP is still below 8p".
I was around in Jan/Febr 2017 when the market went wild on a pre-announced drill which was scheduled for July 2017.
Clearly, there were only about half the shares (or even less?) in issue at the time.
Have PM disappointed so much in the meantime that the market is unable to understand what is on offer this time??? This time the drills are underway - two of them simultaneously, the results are within reach (2-3 weeks) and the COS are "fairly high" to say the least.
Based on the hopes and expectations of yesteryear (2017) PM will no longer be a speculative investment (which it was at 37p). If the market (still) has its head screwed on right and once PM strikes oil you don't need to think in Pence - only in £.
