Could be a lot of people having to eat humble pie on here!
A large part of the recent drop in the current share price was the decision not to proceed with the Margarita Deeps. Since EME had never committed to being a partner and merely had an option (based on the results of the shallow wells) the decision not to continue may well have been prudent.
The second part of the drop was the announcement of their cash in hand. Many people took this that as a share issue in the offing, despite the RNS tending to suggest the opposite.
So jn fact the drop was caused by negativity based on previous disappointments rather than a fair reading of the information on hand.
I really can't agree with you about AIM, Cyril. It is an excellent market for companies at a certain stage of their development and does attract a fair number of quality companies. The only problem is that in many cases you have to sort the wheat from the chaff very rigourously due to limited sources of information. However I would admit that AIM has underperformed but so has the FTSE small caps, but that basically comes down to risk aversion by the great but not very brave British share-buying public.

or damn fools who are happy to chuck money at a company with proven dud management and track record.
on a different subject, small caps, which covers the majority of AIM stocks, are illiquid .... that is the reason for their volatility and has little or nothing to do with risk aversion

the humble pie will be replaced by, Eme as the sugarloaf-1 will be spectacular when this starts flowing, on a huge scale a break out is evident and will reflect des to 80p and above.

shadow might easily get hit but at least one custard pie if he truly thinks 80p is achievable within say the next 18 months (or even ever)

Market warming to the news, now at the days highest and almost 4m traded.Peeps were paying these prices not so long back before confirmation of discovery,also worth considering this is its in the USA,so no problems on that account.
Todays result is from one of the 5 wells drilled, so much more to come, with
another 7 planned of which EME have the option to participate.
imho

Only back where they were at the start of the year unfortunately, John. Can't see much room for being too overjoyed. The last of posts all day seem the confirm EME shot their bolt with the punters some time ago. They gave up. I also suspect a few will take the opportunity to cash in on what seemed like dead money.
At the end of the day, it's not a huge gusher now, is it?
A few traders in there today, obviously. Will see if it lasts. ;-)

Probably quite a good result, considering
a) testing was only on half of proposed drilling length
b) Normally these formations have to be fracced.
b) is something to do with sweet spots, though can't understand what golf clubs and tennis racquets have got to do with it
