Unfortunately some people (not necessarily on here) expect to be baby-sat by these companies. I don't think anyone would accuse Apple, for instance, of being badly run and do they communicate with their shareholders more often? No. If you wanna sit with the big boys then you've got to be a big boy and accept the realities of that sector you are investing in - e.g. pharmaceutical stocks, exponential timelines for progress, O&G drilling, delays. Anyway, the gripes will be gone in accordance with the number of fingers I have.
Agree, no issue with the board or their communication (in fact, that's one of the fantastic positives about this company. Like the Traveling Wilbury's). It is what it is, no blame laid at ADV's door by me. A trifle two week delay is well worth the investment case of this company.
As for Saint-Tropez, he was on the bb's of 1 or 2 of the other companies I'm in - unrelated to oil - which should disavow some of the more illegitimate theories abounded about him.
I think SF clarified it's extremely difficult to give accurate deadlines in this sector. If it's not possible then it's not possible.
The question of whether they should give deadlines at all is another matter; although my own opinion is they should, then we know roughly where we are, hence allowing us to time our entries, exits, top-ups and trades.
Hazdogg, you didn't say that at the time. In fact, not only were there a number of comments that he DID look very confident, the media company themselves tweeted they've never seen someone so confident.
If the rig hasn't moved by tomorrow I'd expect them to be applying the finishing touches. Sell/trade at your peril - don't forget if the rig moves it is likely to be southern hemisphere daytime and hence FTSE being closed.
Bitcoin was an active participant in Friday's bloodbatg, being down 12% at one point, but has held steady since. So for those looking for indicators for market performance Monday (of which I'm not) then that should be a decent signal market normality has resumed.
I submit to you, Piltick, very good knowledge.
It's very early morning over there right now; layman's opinion but I'm guessing they would prefer to arrange the tow in daylight so looks promising.
Very promising we will be underway before the weekend is out then.
According to marine traffic, Go Sirius is a supply vessel.

Based on the direction skandi is travelling from I'd suggest it's totally hypothetical where go Sirius is heading. Guess we will know by morning.
I'm buying the fu####ing dip later,this is an occasion of look the gift horse IN the mouth .
My salary doesn't come through till afternoon or I'd snap this price off, damn.
If they are in travelling in the right direction it will be with the rig attached. See where they are in couple hours.
If it's a questions of odds then 5p must be more likely than 4p next week, but wdik.
Thank you for the advice SI, always great to hear such tips from pi's such as yourself and happy to absorb.
Oleta Adams, HMS? That takes me back
Agree, Rajbury. Very definite consistency to the trades coming through.
No huge trades today so far, but almost exclusively buying the last two hours - we all like an irrigated potato, I guess.
Well put, ontarget. That nipped that one in the bud!
