....met a pie man, going to the fair

superritch, you missed the point - this has nothing to do with Coronavirus, or the plunge in the PoO.

This was because SimplesS has been telling us, several times/day, to watch out for a number of terrific RNS announcements and I just wondered whether Sam buying 937 shares and Stew 936 was the start of the promised deluge of amazing news!

If so, with the sp falling to 13p, then I'm biting my nails in anticipation for the next one!!

How's it going then Simples?

I see the great RNS for today is that Sam has bought 937 shares and Stew pushed the boat out with 936!

You keep telling us that your name isn't "Nige", or "Nigel". Could it possibly be Simple Simon (or "SimpleS" for short)?

fi, are you sure about the year?

So, idiot, which bit of:
"Rockhopper Exploration has been in the bucket list since inception as belief in the development in the Sea Lion field in the Falklands has never wavered despite many setbacks. With the recent farm-out to Navitas making the deal more likely the only remaining hurdle is the final agreement from the Export Credit Agencies submitted in July 2019 after which I believe the development goes ahead and RKH remains carried"
don't you like, or hadn't already understood?

Now you're back where you belong, on ignore.

Well, that’s what he says, but you can say anything here

FFS finvestor, Nige may or may not be genuine, but his track record so far hasn't been great and something he doesn't do is "discuss", so why not just work it out for yourself - at least you know you can rely on yourself, or at least I hope you can!

FFS, just ignore the idiots - if you believe in this, why engage with idiots?

Forget about the Argentinean threat, and even more if/when Navitas sign-up.

It would be preferable to have friendly neighbours, but the Argentinean sabre rattling won't stop this from going ahead.
The fact that they're sabre rattling now tells you quite a bit about the prospects for SL sanction coming soon.

BTW, for the usual moaning dissidents, if you were suddenly asked to contribute about $2Bn on a quite risky project, when fossil fuels are no longer popular and the World economy looks a bit shaky, I reckon you'd be insisting that the Is were dotted and the Ts were crossed (plus a few other checks), before saying "OK, here's the dosh".

If you didn't, then you'd be even more crackers than you already look.

Yes Trop, as I've said dozens of times, things like this are bloody complicated at the best of times and with everything going on right now, it's even more complicated.

Like everyone else, you're going to have to be patient, which is difficult.

It could all fall apart, which (as I've also said dozens of times), is why this is more of a "bet" than an "investment", but I'm about 98% sure this is going ahead, unless another completely unforeseen banana skin catches us all out.

ALL the logic points to this happening, but not necessarily when Kurgy, Ralphy, Ollie, or Nige would like it

I think what cyan has posted makes good sense.
I also think this is going to happen, but any exploration drilling will wait until after SL is producing oil and more importantly money, and the future need for more oil is clearer than it is now.

Cyan, Nige IS a fantasist, whose specific predictions have largely never come to fruition.

Those of his that have come to fruition, could have been predicted by any of us, or by that octopus that predicted football results.

falklandinvestor, I think your references to Dolphin are hopelessly out-of-date.
Any successful FIH Group bid would come from a completely different direction.

fecm, if SL is to go ahead, then FIH Group MUST benefit and significantly.
Absolutely right about those who were guaranteed to benefit during the gold rush - ladies of the night, barmen and those who sold the gold-digging tools.
When prospectors gave up and went home, the tool sellers would go out and bring back the abandoned tools in the wheelbarrows that had been left behind!

You're right, FIH Group pays a dividend even now. I think FIH Group would sell-out if a bidder came along and offered £8 to £10/share, which isn't impossible.

In that case, falklandinvestor, a few FIH Group shares might be in order?

No mention of the FI, but the implications were all too clear.

Discussion about the UK's financial support of fossil fuel projects and how this funding should be redirected to renewables.

Yes please Nige, but let me guess first - leaf sweeping classes?

There's nothing wrong with leaf sweeping, Nige.
As well as ending up with a tidy place, you get lovely leaf mould and/or compost, so it's much better than watching RKH all day, doing nothing!
