In that case they'll want to "monetise" SL and saying nothing won't achieve that will it.
FFS, if you're sitting on something THAT BIG, having decided it's too big for you to handle, you're just going to keep quiet, walk away and let it go? What absolute borrox!

Wind-up merchants: stop speculating and go home and do something useful.

In that case, they've had time to decide against going ahead with SL and finding a buyer before it's too late. They'd need to announce that at a key moment, but they haven't done that have they!!

Having checked EIG's complete investment portfolio, there's no mention of Argentina

I thought Godders doesn't have any RKH shares.

Boboil, it would help if you make your posts in English.

Put the clown Godders on filter.
He cries because he feels a fool for putting so much into this "investment", but he doesn't have any RKH shares, and spends time posting rubbish.

What a complete buffoon.
Then Boboil wants to chat about the positive news, but can't think of any.

This BB is getting as bad as ADVFN for nutcases with nothing better to do.
Go away and join the complete nutcases on ADVFN - they're so barking they'll make you look almost sane!

In your first post you said "Let’s get back to the old days of having a decent chat about positive news".

Clearly you didn't think we had much/any positive news, so we were expecting you to provide some, otherwise we'd have nothing to chat about.

Please don't suggest that we participate in something you don't have anything to contribute.

Don't be rude about Sam, or Boboil will be after you to chat about the positive news (which he has yet to give us).

For those who are in, it would bonkers to exit now, especially if you've waited a long time.
I only bet what I reckoned I could afford to write-off, which I've already done, but with a very heavy heart.

I think the Argie sanction warning's a bit of a larf. It's as though Darío Martínez is saying to Chrysaor, HBR & Navitas: "I don't like you. I'm going to tell my mum about you and she won't let you play in our garden - so there!"
Really scary!

And of course, the Chinese are egging him on - aren't they the ones responsible for COVID?

Don't criticise Sam & Co., or else Boboil will back, saying he wants to chat about the "good old days"!

So what happened Boboil? We're still awaiting your words of wisdom.

If SL (and beyond) are going ahead, then this sabre rattling from Argentina really isn't an issue.

Everyone has known about Argentina's (and the Peronists') position for years, which continued under the presidency of Macri, although he chose not to make an issue out of it.
The 3 named companies (Chrysaor, HBR & Navitas) aren't affected by the sanction threats and the Argies are doing a great job of reminding Britain not to take their eye off the boil as they did before, which resulted in the 1982 Falklands War.

All this will do is to ensure that if HBR go ahead, starting with SL, they'll make damned sure every "I" is dotted and every "T" crossed, before announcing anything.

In addition to the finances having to stack up, this will be another important area to get right before making the commitment.

Anything to do with the Argentine sanctions warning?

Can't say I'm a devoted Boris disciple, but on matters such as this, he'd tell the Argies to bugger off and probably double the number of Eurofighter Typhoons just to show he means it!

"I wonder what has them agitated?"

They sense/know that Decision Time is approaching for these 3.

Thanks for the 3 "likes", but I was hoping to start a chat (maybe Boboil would like to join-in?).

While await something uplifting from Boboil, HBR management state their vision is to be a World-class energy company (note "energy", not necessarily oil/gas).
Mopping-up the declining assets of others certainly gives them good income and fab tax opportunities, but hardly sets them on the longer-term course to be that World-class energy company.
Also, by adopting this course, it doesn't indicate an eventual move into renewables, which is already getting quite crowded by the BIG BOYS.

HBR very cannily, make big money from the unwanted assets from a pretty unpopular and unfashionable activity, but how to get to being that World-class energy company?

I'm sure I heard Boris comment recently on Britain becoming a World leader in hydrogen energy technolgy, as battery power has many serious draw-backs. Hydrogen would make a great substitute for petrol/diesel/LPG.
Hydrogen can be produced from natural gas, without any carbon emissions at all (turquoise hydrogen). Although relatively early in its development, this is seen as a real opportunity, but needs a plentiful supply of natural gas.
Then there are logistic issues, but progress is being made in transporting "solid hydrogen", rather than using pipelines, which are problematic.

And what's to be found around the FI region, especially in the SFB? Condensate and gas.

Could it be that HBR's vision starts with oil production from SL, generating income, which will contribute to establishing a new production region, and as the demand for oil declines, move to zero-carbon hydrogen production to become a World-class energy company, supplying Britain that sees hydrogen as an important part of the energy jig-saw?

How about that Boboil, was that positive enough for you? As you haven't come up with anything yourself, would you like to chat?

Also Boboil, you say: "Let’s get back to the old days of having a decent chat..........."
But you've only posted one chat and that was this one.

So when you tell us the positive news for us to chat about, please remind us about all the other "chats" you'd like to reminisce about.

OK Boboil, how about you give us the positive news and then we'll chat about it.

Didn't HBR management say, at one of their presentations, that their long term business vision is to become a World-class energy company?

Sam enjoys really great coffee and, of course crumpets!!

I can see, after SL was discovered and appraised, how Moody & Co. would have thought it perfectly legitimate to drain-off generous remuneration, in the certain knowledge that very soon, even that would look meagre and no one else would notice/remember as they counted their winnings.

But instead, it dragged on, with one banana skin after another. By then Moody & Co. (and presumably their families) had got used to a certain way of life. But what the hell, very soon it would all come good with "Loadsamoney"!!

So here we are, contemplating what seemed impossible, with depleted cash reserves, the OM arbitration award no longer just a bit of an extra, but rather critical, oil/gas now seriously out-of-fashion, and a management with full boots, but without a Plan B.

Hmmm!
