Absolutely spot on Paul, time and time again this happens to the unwary investor and it's scandalous how easy it is to get away with it. Some of the financial press are complicit in this - on a regular basis. Perhaps they are plain lazy and don't do any research before they write a glowing article for a company promote - or perhaps they are just interested in any old story and just haven't got a conscience. Perhaps they don't have any financial experience at all and are just as unwary as some PIs. My tactic now is that if there is a sudden concerted effort by a co. to ramp its share price and its balance sheet is low on cash then if I'm holding the share I sell into the price spike - more often than not there's a fund raise coming soon.

Fundraises Generally

A pattern seems to be emerging, where speculative companies run out of cash, then they pump the share price with upbeat-sounding RNSs. Shortly afterwards they announce a discounted placing into any subsequent share price rise. Private investors speculating on these shares, buying the price rises, seem to be lambs to the slaughter.

It doesn't seem right to me that shares are still trading, when the company is secretly offering discounted shares to larger investors in placings. It's often obvious from the share price that news has leaked. We really do need the rules changed (and/or enforced), so that shares are suspended when any company decides to do a fundraise. Also we need quicker, cheaper mechanisms for companies to raise cash.

In the meantime, there's a simple way to avoid being clobbered by a discounted placing - don't buy or hold any share where the company doesn't have a cash runway of well over 12 months. Ideally investments should be companies which are profitable and cash generative, hence won't ever need to raise more cash just to keep the lights on.

Jam tomorrow/ blue sky shares are a graveyard for optimistic investors, avoiding these things has been the biggest boost for my personal portfolio returns. That said, the odd one multibags, which is what excites people.

I know.. wish they had done it last week when share price was 0.009 why it taken 2 weeks to RNS.. maybe II investors wanted the lowest price possible.
well the 0.05p shares don't trade tomorrow. maybe some IIs might be tempted to flip them for profit. so anybody selling tomorrow at 0.05p is selling at a massive loss.
been adding to my holding over last couple weeks. last one today at 0.0726
so raise is £2.6m but retail via primary bid is what 10%? thats 260k. if 200 investors subscribe thats only 1.3K each.

I'm with ii too. there box asks for an amount.
don't have much spare funds. either 2K this evening or maybe sell some other shares tomorrow and put in a bit more.
the RNS doesn't say how much retail investors will be able to apply for. likely get scalled back? if so any idea what to?

So ridiculously cheap investors beginning to come back?
Posted at 09/1/2024 11:17 by haff1
Looks like some disenchanted investors have other places to invest in.... at least in the short-term...

Why is the agm in the Isle of Man , why not on mainland where investors can attend to ask questions

Larry Bottomley, CEO of Beacon Energy, commented:

"We are delighted to have received such strong support in this process from both existing and new investors. The Fundraise was significantly oversubscribed, bringing a number of new high quality institutional investors onto the shareholder register - a testament to the quality of the Company's asset base and the scope for material value creation. The fundraise provides welcome additional working capital to support bringing the SCHB-2(2.) well into commercial production. We would like to thank our new and existing investors for their support and look forward to providing further updates on our operational progress in due course."

Beacon Energy: further to climb?

by Charles Archer

August 23, 2023

Beacon Energy shares have shot up over the past few days. Is there further to go, or is this pure speculation?

Beacon Energy shares have rocketed since circa 7 August, as investors and traders consider the potential implications of its Schwarzbach-2(2.) drilling operations. The share could still be a buy, but investors are speculating on continued success — and only volatility can be reliably guaranteed.

Let’s dive in.

Beacon Energy updates

On 7 August, Beacon — which owns a portfolio of onshore German assets in varying stages of production, development, or appraisal — gave its first key update on the ongoing Schwarzbach-2(2.) drilling. Or in other words, the first the market paid actual attention to.

Beacon noted that ‘drilling is currently underway in the deviated mechanical sidetrack. The well is on track to achieve the primary objectives of testing the reservoir targets, and completing this well as a producer as part of the development of the Stockstadt Mitte segment of the Erfelden field.’
The company also promised a further update as appropriate, and this came just nine days later on 16 August with speculation swirling.

It noted ‘the recent movement in the price of the Company’s shares on AIM,’ and took the opportunity to remind investors that its targeted segment was assigned 2P oil reserves of 3.784mmbbls from the CPR report published in December last year.

Beacon also brought investors up to date on the technicals: the well had reached a total drill depth of 2255 metres measured depth, with electric wireline logging ongoing. This is a technical process where drillers use electrical instruments to continuously measure downhole formation attributes using special tools or equipment lowered into the borehole.

Self-evidently, until this process was completed, and results analysed, Beacon could not definitively make any claims over ‘the implications for the future cash generative potential of the Erfelden field’ and it further noted that ‘and the Company’s aspiration to build a self-funding platform for growth will not be known.’

But it did make sure to inform investors that it looked forward to updating the market ‘in due course.’

And investors didn’t have long to wait.

On 18 August, Beacon gave a summary of promising new updates:

The well encountered good quality oil-bearing reservoirs in the Meletta-Schichten sandstones and the Pechelbronner-Schichten sandstones.

The electric wireline logging programme had been completed and initial analysis showed good quality oil-bearing reservoirs, with porosity ranges above pre-drill expectations.

Initial evaluation of the logs over the PBS indicated a 34-metre gross interval containing 28 metres of oil-bearing net reservoir, with porosities averaging 18% and up to 28%.

These oil-bearing reservoirs were encountered approximately 25 metres higher than prognosis with oil observed on the shale shakers and in the mud pit whilst drilling these intervals.

No water-bearing sands were encountered in the Meletta or the PBS intervals.
The operating team is now undertaking reservoir clean-up, production testing and installing the production liner to bring the well into production through the existing Schwarzbach facilities, which are already owned and operated by the company. No extra costs is a huge deal.

And most importantly, the company expects that this new production will ‘be brought onstream over the next month’ — with a further update due very soon after the reservoir clean-up and production testing have finished.

CEO Larry Bottomley — who has enjoyed senior stints at Perenco, Hunt Oil, Triton, Chariot, and FTSE 100 oil major BP — enthused that the new well has been ‘safely, effectively and successfully drilled and logged…the well has encountered oil bearing reservoir in the Meletta and PBS sandstones, both shallower than predicted with the PBS being a thicker interval with more sand and of better quality than pre-drill estimates. These results imply significant upside to the reserve range assigned to the Stockstadt Mitte segment in the CPR.’

Unlike the previous RNS, the CEO was prepared to announce that electrical wireline logging analysis shows that the well ‘has the capacity to materially increase the Company’s production and revenue…this is a very important step in the Company’s aspiration to build a self-funding platform for growth.’

But even more encouragingly, this positive result de-risks the 2C contingent resources of 2.4mmbbls assigned to the adjacent Schwarzbach South segment — which is the next company target at the Erfelden field.

Beacon is now focusing on completing the well for production, and an update could come literally at any time. This well was the company-maker, but what the market is missing is that the rest of Erfelden is now a far more prospective resource.

This is Germany — there’s next to no chance of regulatory problems. And with Australian workers striking, the Ukraine War still raging, and winter coming down the track, gas prices will likely continue to rise.

The next RNS could well see another share price jump.
