Significant Contracts & Dir Buys! When you have significant new Contracts and heavy director Buys, they suggest a strong bullish sentiment towards recovery, especially with a stock that has seen a previous erosion in its market cap.They say BUY when others fear to, but that can be a two edged sword with some companies not displaying any underlying reasons to support a recoveryHowever, the factors for such a recovery and hence optimism are more clearly aacertained, hence a remarkable opportunity at this stage to realize significant Shareholder value off said recovery.That's also further underpinned by a more robust macro economic environment.I'm building up my holding in staged purchases, having increased my overall holding today by another 30%.Certainly looking very good indeed for said recovery imho and sits well with my less established but highly exciting MATD O&G stock.

Re: Asfari vote of confidence Contracts worth over $900m announced in the last 9 working days should help everyone's confidence.
Asfari vote of confidence Boss bought shares worth more than 10 million quid.That says a lot considering he is an insider.This is going up.
CEO is obviously confident of an upswing in the share price sooner or later. Maybe the SFO inquiry will soon be finished and not as bad as expected..looks promising for investors anyway

Re: RNS More wins announced this morning which makes March look a pretty good month. You wouldn't know it looking at the sp which is down almost £1 from 580p levels.The mantra these days is that good news is bad news and results in selling and bad news is not as bad as many thought which means it's a buy on bad news and sell on good.Have I lost you yet? It's a strange market place at present. Just need some M&A to arrive to give the Casino a slap around the chops. Petrofac is a target no doubt about that. Just a question of buyers rolling the dice on the possible SFO fine.HUB

Re: March Broker Reports 'Buy side' analysts v 'Sell side' analysts maybe ?? So, two price targets: 470 if you are looking to buy..... 630 if you plan to sell ?I now bunch analyst numbers into two camps and average the top set and the bottom set. I have NO idea if this is any good - just what I tend to do.
Re: Final Divi date. I've seen similar inane questions asked - often by either complete newbies or those with next to no posts. But in both cases I think to myself if they are so inexperienced at investing that they can't find answers to such basic questions then A) they are probably a liability to themselves B) why are they doing it? - go get a financial advisor! and C) do I want to encourage them?! (no!) The other thing that typically happens is the inane question gets answered and the person asking it doesn't come back to say thank you. This was a case in point - 8 days after asking the question Samzin hasn't said 'thank you'. It's not like it costs anything to be polite. This comes across as being self-centred and ungrateful and I think it discourages people from being helpful....Anyway, PFC is up a tad more today, so that's good.

Re: Final Divi date. Yes, a polite enough question.The reason for it: 'Haven't seen any announcement', given the FY results and RNS of a few days prior, seemed a bit pathetic to me. If that's an arrogant view then so be it.
Re: Final Divi date. Glad i read this tread .Arrogant remarks to a polite question.
