Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares

On Wednesday, Chariot Oil & Gas (CHAR) issued its “pre-close update”. It described both the challenges and opportunities it faces in the current climate, in a bid to soothe investor concerns about the company’s declining share price. At 7.85p, Chariot is near its 52-week low and is worth £20.8million, well below the expectations of many shareholders. Frustration has been growing at a perceived lack of progress, but is this fair? I caught up with CEO Larry Bottomley to hear his views on how he plans to navigate the oil sector’s troubled waters.

I would imagine the words “ oh shit “ have been uttered rather often in the board room over the last few months. Still Brent and WTI seem to be starting a base this last week …….. hopefully .
Unfortunately Gold does not want to be cooperative .
However its heart warming to see Putin suffer . Karma is a wonderful thing Mr Putin.

Ben – what do you think of Richard Griffiths piling in at 4.19%? He does have a habit of building very large stakes …. hopefully the weak PI’s will sell to him, or see that they actually do have something worth much more than they thought … time for this share to move upwards.
