Over the weekend this site explained 4 reasons why LGO shares were set to move sharply higher and soon. They are up by 9% so far today but there is a lot more to come. One thing we missed is that the new boss Leo is doing more City meetings later this week. This is flagged up in an email sent today by Andrew Monk, boss of house broker VSA. He really believes that the shares could be 20p. we shall see. Monk's email follows:
Shares in LGO Energy (LGO) have started to tick higher and closed last night at 2.5p mid - well up on our 1.8p offer price share tip of just over three weeks ago. Four things are happening and we are increasing our target price to sell from 2.7p to 3p and even that may have to be increased again. So whaat are the 4 reasons?
LGO Energy (LGO) has announced that chairman and CEO Neil Ritson has stepped down with immediate effect to make way for Leo Koot. Leo who? He is very tall, he's Dutch, he sleeps for just two hours a night and he is massive big hitter in the world of oil. Why on earth did he go for LGO?
This is becoming routine. After hours on on Friday PrimaryBid announces a material placing opportunity for its members. This weekend it is LGO Energy (LGO) which has raised £2.2 million in a placing at 2.2p but is now offering a chance for ordinary investors to put up another £300,000 at the same price.
Yesterday we advised our readers to bank gains in LGO Energy (LGO) at a 3.9p bid - that would be a 77% gain on an offer to bid basis made in 14 days. Not bad eh? All those idiots who questioned why we tipped LGO have their answer: to make money for our readers. And that we did. The shares are now 3.7p offer. Paying customers (just £5) come first so got out at higher levels. The rationale for the take profits advice is clear - our article from behind the paywall reads:
Certain folks wonder why we, on HotStockRockets, we tipped shares in LGO Energy (LGO) as a buy? Well the reason of course is that we thought they were going to go up and we want our readers to make money. On 28 February when we tipped the shares they were 0.115p offer ( that is 2.3p in today's post consolidation money). They are now 3.35p bid so our readers are very much in the money after just 11 days! But why tip this stock. The best expanation is the original tip which is below. Remember the 20 for 1 consolidation when reading it.
Just to please our own in house pet Bulletin Board Moron Wildes who is a big holder, I am delighted to publish a note from broker VSA out today initiating its coverage of LGO Energy (LGO) at 2.45p with a 22p price target. I kid you not. VSA is house broker so chuck in a pinch/bucket load of salt but 22p? I used to know a bloke called Edward Vaughan who was a bit bonkers. I do not think that it is the same Edward Vaughan who penned this note but whatever... in its full 16 page glory
It takes two to tango or, rather, two to make a market. I am not exactly a great fan of LGO Energy (LGO) having called this as a teddy to perfection. But Andrew Monk of VSA reckons it is time to bottom fish and since I believe in free speech I am happy to publish his reasoning from his morning email.
Bulls of LGO Energy (LGO), like our own pet in house BB loon Wildes, argue that the decline in its share price is entirely down to the falling oil price and nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that it has hopeless assets in Trinidad which, however much cash is thrown at them, cannot produce enough oil to generate free cashflow. I offer you up four charts, sent in by a kind reader, which should show this in pictures, since folks like Wildes find long words a tad confusing.
