Completely agree about the AIM market being rigged ! Specially on AIM! Don’t get me wrong some of my previous investments have been absolute wonder strokes ( Dragon Oil, Coastal Energy, Caracal Energy, emerald energy, Heritage oil, GKP pre shaikan, Tullow oil from 2004 and Rockhopper).
I’ve also been stung a few times quite badly and that usually happens when I become irrational, overconfident and over invest in a share and buy-in to the hype!
For that reason, like you I have also learned to force myself to think about the negatives about my investments to see if there is anything I’ve missed or anything that could potentially go wrong ! The positives will take care of themselves (the happy clapping rampers will see to that!)...
I think JOG is a decent investment at sub 200p. There’s money to be made ! But having spent 21 days during winter in North Sea on a semisubmersible disconnected from the well due to harsh weather I know the risks of what we are being forced to accept ! I am just highlighting that those issues should not be underestimated! The well could very easily get delayed even further into Q1 2019!
I think if we can get a small share in a producing asset, that will alleviate some of my concerns and reduce the investment risk !
