Re: SSN - Samson Exploration
We have the further curiosity of the US price increasing, now to US$3.168 (up 5.60% overnight), up from under US$2.50 at the beginning of the month, whereas the US$ price has not. The US$ = Au$.172 per share, but the US ADR shares closed down yesterday at AU$13.5, a 3.5c difference.
Further the share decrease in Au has occured notwithstanding a potential strenghening of position by SSN, in terms of licences and production over recent times. Quite contrary to the upward trend of gas prices in the US, especially given that SSN is a producer as well as an explorer.
I am firmly of the view that in difficult times companies that only explore face greater risks than producers; those such as SSN, CVN, MPO, STU and many others that also produce will be okay. Any thoughts?
Disclosure: I own SSN shares (and may buy more).
