24k really is a substantial number considering the "actual" public float.  Should be interesting to see what they do in May.  Maybe the day will come this year, who knows! :)
Comment by Thor16 on May 10, 2022 5:10pm
Chuck - what would you think the actual public float sits at currently?  650k?
Comment by chuck84 on May 15, 2022 8:39am
April end shares o/s were 3,674,000 and suspect they have got another 10k this month (#9 has buyback).  HNR had 2,945,765 as per the annual information form (see note under directors table in AIF) However.... The HNR total only includes those entities affiliated with HNR. It does not include directors and officers including Duncan himself for instance. There have also been numerous " ...more

lt appears repurchase activity continued at a modestly steady pace throughout June.
Comment by chuck84 on Jun 16, 2022 2:29pm
sorry for late response. travelling. yeah like 6700 or so of each which is a decent clip over course of year but no stopping it falling with market like this. discount narrowing which is to be expected in down market
Comment by Thor16 on Jul 23, 2022 2:58pm
