Comment
Terrace are certainly busy at the moment, and in a more normal market the share price would be appreciating, but these are not normal times, and the price of oil is still falling as US production results in a glut on world markets.
Terrace look well placed for success at this point, although pitfalls ahead remain, the price of oil being the current principal concern to investors.
