Same here. Max quote with Barclays is for 100 shares. What a joke!
I checked the ratio of an NMS trade value to market cap for all 63 oil and gas companies listed on the LSE with market caps up to that of ECO. Only 2 stocks have an NMS trade value (NMS x SP) that is a lower percentage of their market cap than ECO and they are RRL and RBD.
Despite having a market cap of �49M the NMS trade size for ECO is only about �1500. Other oil companies with much smaller market caps have much higher NMS trade sizes. For example, UPL �10M cap and �2300 NMS, PXOG 5.5M cap and �2300 NMS, NTOG 5M cap and �1900 NMS, RMP 4M cap and �3900 NMS! There are loads more examples.
To put it another way, ECO NMS trade size is only 1/32000 of its market cap. For CLON 1/3000, BOIL 1/4500, PET 1/5000, OEX 1/62500, TRP 1/7500. I could go on and on.
ECO NMS trade size is way smaller than less liquid companies with much tinier market caps and no blockbuster assets. Come on Gil, time to get some more market makers and up the NMS significantly. Should be around 25000 shares. The current liquidity situation for the stock is totally inappropriate.
