Rob BYF,
2.5pps, is that a supposed 2.5pps increase on the base value, which is around 57p if my memory serves me correctly (after this xmas ale) at post consolidation value?
That should then be total value per share of 59.5pps by next May, is this correct, if so it falls some considerable way short of our originally suggested 116p?
Macansy, When you see that Shell are/have pulled out of some big oil/gas deal in Russia this last week it shows what pressures are on by Putin and the Russians for total control of the oil/gas resources over the vast majority of the european/northern hemisphere, if the Americans and UK pulled out of the middle east now, how long do you think it would take the Russians to walk in on a "friendly" basis of "we'll help you rebuild this little lot"?
