yes very strange. I'm guesing either the deal fell over or they are waiting for PPP to make the capital payout then make the T/O :P

The current share buyback started on 8 November, so its been running 3 weeks..
So far its effect has been a big fat ZERO
So its not working, just like the last one.
The daily buys have been small, 20k, 40k, 50k etc
The plan is to buy back 10 million shares.
Maybe its time to step it up a notch and buy a bit more agressively, otherwise give up on it.

Tommy, share buybacks are not targetted to make the supply demand imbalance and therefore the shareprice rise - this is a short term measure.

It is to purchase shares, at what is deemed to be below "fair value" and thus increase earnings per share on the remaining shares in the future. It's usually used as more of a signal....

As has been discussed on here, the amount of shares is probably going to have an insignificant effect on the share price due to increases in EPS, so I would take it as more of a "signal" more than anything.

so the "signal" is more esop?

Hmmmm ... I need to pay for my new shed but can't decide whether to seel my Bonus Bonds or NOG. They're giving equal returns, but which has the greatest potential for upside?

Just as well you asked that question.I can give you expert advice.Science here,choose a $2 coin.Take heads you keep NOG,tails you keep the bonus bonds,now toss the coin,and you will have the answer.Should you have doubts you may wish to try two out of three.
ps.Welcome to club tosser.!!!

I think you need to put it in perspective how many ESOP they're actually issuing.

No worries the Israel-US Axis will soon bomb the hell out of Iran, they certainly have ranted on about it now for nearly 10 years, Action must be getting closer.
Result rapid increase in O/P & NZO S/P
Not my desire but odds getting shorter.

Plenty of small cap oilers on the ASX they could be buying that have good permits and negative EV . But then maybe they would have to do some work eh
