However, some signifcant news on the sidetrack of the Stella field are expected any day. On 15th April, IAE said "The well will now be geologically sidetracked, as intended, to test the reservoir up-flank between this vertical bore and existing crestal wells to further investigate the quality of the reservoir and provide essential compositional information of the hydrocarbons at intermediate depths. The sidetrack will take approximately 15 days to penetrate the reservoir."

He prefers the short term, possibly speculative trade, to the long term hold and takes the view that it's about "buy and research" not "buy and hold"!

Ithaca Energy drop gives opportunity to buy back
After selling half of my Ithaca Energy (IAE) holding on Friday, an 8% drop today, following a similar fall on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) last night gives an opportunity to buy back. The negative impact of the Australian mining super tax on the commodity sector and a "take profits" story on thisismoney.co.uk helped to move the price down. As far as I'm aware none of Ithaca's assets are based in Australia so the "Henry tax" will not impact earnings.
