The rapture that has greeted Xcite Energy’s (XEL) announcement this morning is not too surprising. Release an RNS mentioning Shell and Statoil in the headline and this is bound to get a lot of people salivating at the prospect of that long waited for, yet ever illusive, takeover/farm in. The 20% jump in Xcite’s share price, in the first hour or so of trading, confirms the appetite that still remains for this recently beleaguered stock. But is this enthusiasm misplaced?
