Just a little pre-midnight musing,

where do we see the company in 5 years . For a professional management team, 5 years is short/medium term. They will Shirley have a road plan ahead. Is it like a logic game, if this, then that, and if so what is this and what is that likely to be?

current bookies odds are favouring a tie up with a bigger player, but a go it alone is still getting reasonable odds, a partial sell up is also decent odds, but a complete sell up and move out is pretty long odds.

Assuming as is likely we stay in the good old USA, what are the company’s ambitions?

they will almost certainly, barring an economic downturn, make lots of money(more money) so at what stage will shareholders realise this much vaunted shareholders return? And in what form will it occur (no….. in your dreams is not an acceptable answer)

a return through increased share price, allowing divestment by some shareholders, a one of return of capital, a regular six month dividend. And what would be the time frame.

personally I’d forswear the divis, special or otherwise for a couple of years if we could seriously increase our scale of operations, and bring in new reserves through good field work.

continued operational success but on a larger scale will propel us forward undoubtedly.

if for any reason it doesn’t, then Brookside will surpass the Marie Celeste as the world’s biggest mystery
