I guess the main problem we have as investors in INFA is that there are two distinct types of investors here. There are the LTH's,( from the requisition days and beyond), many of whom bought in at prices much higher than todays SP, and the shorter term holders who bought in at the April placing and in the month or so afterwards on the open market. The first group are waiting for significant news relating to progress and investment in INFA which will bring them into decent profitibality while the second group aare very happy with the killing they have made to date and which they continue to make as they ,(the placees), continue to exercise their warrants and thus increase their profit.
Neither group is to be blamed for their attitude. The April placing set us up for this. The problem is that it makes for a lack of enthusiasm in the share on the part of the LTH's and any new investors. This is AIM and investors don't jump in if they think that the price they are paying today will decrease because the placees will lower it tomorrow as they exercise their warrants.And good share investments need new investors in order to succeed.
But there are very good prospects for the more patient. INFA looks to be a certainty for construction and the forward looking will see the opportunity. We have a freshly constiituted executive group and I would guess that the reconstitution was more or less dictated by a major shareholder. L&G I would guess. We are about to enter a period of intense news relating to FEED,to first client decision, to investment, and to future development and prospects for profitability.
No one should doubt the importance of INFA to gas storage in Ireland and the UK. If you have any doubts just read spudthe plumber's excellent posts. I think we may be about to take off to the benefit of all stakeholders here.
