Personally,I have formed the opinion that the market is always wrong.

That's why share prices are always in a state of flux. Sometimes making dramatic changes to the share price of a company even when there has been no fundamental change in the company. Only by accident, as the share price moves from too high to low, or visa versa,is the market price an occasional representation of the real value of the company.Sometimes it never is.

We can all be thankful for this because it enables us to trade or invest. Only when we fail to sense the market's mood do we loose.

But love it or hate it , it's still the market.

Having said that, I am convinced that the price of Hardman shares is currently undrevalued by the market.

Some would say that the market is just down, so I have used the comparison of ARQ to show that the market is responding to well run companies with a future and will pay a premium for their shares. I feel that ARQ is a little over valued at this stage.

I feel that most of us have an interest in Hardman and we want the market to recognise it's real value which is well in excess of the current share price.

So what will cause the market to increase Hardmans share price.

In the usual way this will happen when there are more buyers than sellers.

So what will make the sellers dry up or the buyers come out of the woodwork.

Good news, an oil strike at Thon.

Most of us are shareholders. Is there anything we can do or are we just victims of circumstances?
