I have been watching Lek Oil (LEK) for some time and think the drop in the share price due to the problems at farm in partner Afren (AFR) is overdone. From Afren’s results last week we know that there will still be a well drilled in OPL 310 in 4Q this year. Lek will benefit from Afren’s troubles as investors switch hot money into the “safer” play.
Not all placements and not all of AIM is rotten. There are plenty of honest companies out there and honest boards of directors, genuinely committed to value creation. Lekoil (LEK) looks like a perfect case in point. This morning, the company announced a £22.4million placement and the market has responded positively. Lekoil’s shares are up 93% over the last twelve months and the question is can the company build on this success with the new funds at its disposal?
I have been looking to cover Lekoil (LEK) from a charting perspective for some weeks now, but was waiting for the right amount of historical data – less than 6 months can be difficult.
Season’s greetings to one and all. Today I embark on the future vision of what I hope to be the shares to buy for 2014.
