Will Santos ever recover?, page-164

Crikey db76, I've wanted to comment for months about your sled dog pic' but I'll bite instead on the other mongrel 'dog' you continually whinge about.

I only have two points to make and
No.1 is: why would you seek a way out of Santos, especially via a lowball takeover, when the sp is on such a strong bull run over this past 6 months?
From 27-6-17 when it closed at 296c it has risen doggedly to close at 539c on 27-12-17.
That is a dogmatic 182% rise,
plus other 2c rise today.
I can hardly wait until it closes at 588c when you'll find you've doubled your investment on your 'dog' of a stock.

No.2 is: you see the SA gov't interfering in a TO by trying to influence the Foreign Investment Review Board, [I and others here have pointed out the SA gov't has no other control over STO now], yet you don't give any deference to the recent decision on a Chinese Gov't controlled co. being given approval by the FIRB to attempt a TO of fellow Watsia onshore gas/condensate 50% stakeholder AWE Limited.

STO $5.410 $0.020 (+0.37%)
