Our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with QuotedData's Edward Marten has just been released. Listen here.
Relax, this is not PV or Tescos or Carillion or WorldCom or Enron or Autonomy, or...well no pasa nada. The signs were there with all of those.
SLP`s strength lies in its simplicity. It`s Annual Reports are transparent and clear. In a few weeks, I look forward to seeing cash balances breaking records. The nice problem to have is what to do with all of the $$$s.
I`m hoping for growth not acquisition. What else are they going to do with it?

Last time this dipped below its 200DMA (weighted) was 25 June 2020 at 43p.
I`m already maxed out to 30% of portfolio, otherwise I would back up the truck - well Luna, you got your wish, another dip, another buy?
S
End of July or August?
To lighten the mood (it has been pretty depressing as of late) let`s have a little chime in at expected earnings. Anybody want to wade in? I`m in at the table with USD 34.5M.
GLA!

actually, my mistake, it is 2 forming (not 1)....
Rh is 19 750 on metals daily and has been 4 days on the trot now. I`m guessing this QUARTER comes in at $35m net earnings for SLP.
To put that in perspective, gold, copper et al miner AAZ`s (136 SP) net earning`s last reported for the YEAR was $23.2M.
this to 140p in 2 months for a nice 20% in/out whilst main holding goes in the bottom drawer.

SLP invoices are payable 90 days (more or less) so if they deliver 3 months ago they paid on the June average price ($21,830) of course they won`t see all of that (and how much they will see, is a bit hit and miss). Might be safe to err on the side of caution and discount by 30% I seem to recall them mentioning something about this in one of the ARs.
I think that is right but stand to be corrected if not.

Another tonto weighs in punching short expecting a KO.
A month. A whole month....
Whilst youre at it get on the phone to that Buffett bloke, the lazy bar-stool. Value investor - pah.

5 May 2021 AET listed, that is a mere 37 trading days. What a joke, just shows how fragile some people are.
Come back in a year if nothing has happened and I will be inclined to take you more seriously
Paul McDade was making 1.47M 10 years ago, that's an 84% pay cut and hardly a man who needs money; he is a millionaire probably several times over.
Richly rewarded indeed!
He has a point to prove and I've no doubt he will. If he reads these BB were behind you!
Go for it.

Michael Taylor of IC: (he reckons 350k, 285k, 285k salaries are too high)
Afentra is a new company that has been born out of the old Sterling Energy (SEY).
It’s an oil & gas company that tries awfully hard to tell us how it’s all about managing the African Energy Transition.
This is how the company got its name: African Energy Transition.
It’s as good a name as any - and hopefully the company didn’t employ some overpaid consultants to come up with it.
At the moment, Afentra has a single asset in Somaliland that is fully carried by Genel Energy.
The company had $42.6 million in cash on its balance sheet as of 31 December 2020.
That’s around £30.5 million at these levels.
Afentra is currently worth £32.5 million at 14.75p.
The burn each year is around £1 million, so the company is currently trading at 90% of its cash levels.
One of the first things I like to do when investigating a new company is to check their salaries and check their shareholdings.
Why?
This will tell me instantly whether they’re an owner or a highly-paid employee.
Source: Afentra Annual Report 2020
Straight away, that looks like a highly paid employee to me.
But further down we come to the shareholdings.
We’re not told what price was paid for the stock, but the shareholder register looks like it had a cleanup around 10p.
That makes the purchases:
Paul McDade (CEO): £226,700
Ian Cloke (COO): £173,000
Gavin Wilson (NED): £268,166
We’ve also had PDMR dealings since then - £149,990 from the new CFO. Nobody forced her to buy (I assume!).
And another £29,764 for the COO Ian Cloke.
These are some fair buys in my opinion. Directors can’t buy and sell on a whim like we can - so it’s money they’ve locked away for the long term.
Looking at the chart, it stays on my watchlist for now.
I’ve set an alert for 18p. It could be one to watch for the future.
Positives
• Experienced board who are aligned
• Valued almost at cash
• Low cash burn
Negatives
• Potential opportunity but also vulnerability to a low oil price
• No guarantee management will secure any value accretive deals
Since when did anyone give "guarantees" !

Agreed Stud it is misleading to say that Rh is crashed or other such language as the fact is the climb was exceptional and really to be (almost) ignored - 10k would still have been an ATH a few months back and even at that price it is 5x the price of Au. Q4 production hopefully will push annual past 70k. And exchange rate has slightly improved too so all good as you point out in your inimitable way :)
S
More than a slight dip, it is a downward trend now at 20k from 29k but that was ATH and never sustainable so it this flattens off at 15k I'm happy. Pt on the other hand has recovered somewhat.
