Hi Neil. I take full responsibility for my actions and my wife has already mentally written off this investment as I have almost done. Agreed AB does not set the price, the market does but the market sets price based on a number of factors both subjective and objective. Subjective ones are do I believe what the CEO is telling me (answer no), has he kept his promises (no), does he speak clearly (no). The news yesterday was met with a shrug, honestly. PMO up over 5%! I had a cursory look at the major shareholder list published on Enquest.com and did see some downward movement in the large shareholders (at least in percent terms). Funnily many of our shareholders are also shareholders in PMO however percentually in large they have greater holdings in PMO. I do however see that the market view of energy stocks is extremely poor and that is not anything to do with AB. Indeed, looking back from start PMO and Tullow are off a greater percentage than Enquest (pat on the back AB!). What I hope for is a meaningful re-rate of the oil market starting 2020 and then we are off to the races. What is the trigger could well be a revision down in US production.
