I'm only down 30% could have brought cheaper then you mate
However re the average down will have to sell other shares which I don't really want to do. But this could depend on the cap raising price....
Do you have any more info on Phil Matthews
Matthews Capital were big holders in AOE.(I did very well with AOE). They also hold DTE which is another CSG company. So overall they have experience with CSG companies. They are well respected in the stock market for making good decisions by buying in at a bottom. I'm positively influenced by their involvement. Elders is a case that comes to mind. I dont know if they still hold but it did go up solidly when they bought in.
Remember that BUL also still have Stanwell and Kogas as large shareholders. BUL will have the backing if they prove up quantities of gas. indications are there that they will.
