re: hdr still streets ahead Hi Jimla,

Nice to see you over here on HC too! Just to emphasise my point about Hardman's long term performance vs its peers, EnergyReview posted an article that addressed my very needs...

INVESTMENT should usually be a marathon, not a sprint. So which ASX-listed energy companies have delivered the best shareholder returns over the last decade?

HDR  Hardman Resources        47.7% Oil 
ARQ  Arc Energy Ltd              25.4% Gas, oil 
WPL  Woodside Petroleum Ltd  23.0% LNG, oil, gas 
STO  Santos Ltd                   18.4% Oil, gas, LNG 
OSH  Oil Search Ltd               13.3% Oil, gas 
ORG  Origin Energy Ltd           12.6% Gas, oil, power 

These returns are pre-tax compound growth numbers. So while Hardman may have underperformed in any given short term period, it has remained one of the best performing energy stocks over the past 10 years (and past 5 years too).
