This stock looks like the most undervalued oil company on the stock exchange. >
Sefton Resources epic SER. It is currently trading at a price of 0.275p valueing the whole company at just 4M.
You might look at the market cap and assume that this company is just an explorer or a shell, but in fact Sefton is producing over 6000 barrels of oil per month with a monthly revenue of over $300k. It's recent work on it's Tapia oilfield exceeded expectations, meaning the company hit it's 200BOPD target 5 months early, and is now expecting resource and production estimates to be further upgraded. This is before it embarks on a steam-assisted programme early next year which
could see production rates multiplied 2-4 times! It is also looking at drilling further wells on the rich Tapia field in the light of the better than expected results.
So why is it only valued at 4M? The primary reason is lack of awareness of the stock, the sub-1p price puts many people off straight away, and a large overhang.
A year or so ago the company was put in financial dire straits by a
well blowout and had to undertake large discounted placings to get
itself back on track, which it has done with a vengeance. However,
some of these placing shares, which represent some 25% of the company
are being sold into the market, depressing the price so that despite the fact that the companies prospects have improved dramatically over
the past year, the price has dropped by nearly 60%.
This makes the company an absolute bargain at these rock-bottom prices. In 6 months time I expect this to be worth 3-5 times the current price. SERIOUSLY.
There is plenty of research to get your teeth into, the best place to start is the website :

There are 2 excellent articles on Sefton on the following website by Ian Mclelland (Jan/Feb 2006) - well worth a read to get up to speed on this company and it's prospects:

anyone read the new thread[started by the evilone]? dont recognise the players on the thread and was wondering if their views are sound or are they ramping?
[it does all sound a bit too good to be true[and in my experience if it sounds too good to be true then it normally isnt!]
Alex
ps a bit rude not putting their tuppence worth on thread don't you think?
pps i am still holding cos a) i think SER are worth it and b) i dont mind if i am wrong about the evilones views as it is a win win scenario in the long term

Re: Takeover afoot
opthalmist
The True Jedi - you did not go to the AGM either - you have picked up on a few sentences from what other people have said ie me.
But yes, you're correct - JE definitely did say Karl Arleth CEO of Teton had to leave his post at Sefton because he (as CEO of Teton) made an offer for the company, which they turned down as they considered it "ridiculously low" (his words).
REALLY, SO WHY DO A VALUATION FOR A COMPANY IF ITS NOT UP FOR SALE AND WHY MENTION THE OFFER IN THE AGM..
NUMPTY, ITS UP FOR SALE

one week until share consolidation,if there is still any oVer hang sellers out there we could still see some more downward trend,im seting my buys at .25-.28 until thing get moVing on more production.this would be about 4p in new shares,its a strange time for oils,there pulling in plenty of cash but the confidence has gone.

The Evil One,
"They are in the middle of buying the shares arent they.." Are they really??? "they are not about to announce it now are they..." Affraid they don't have a choice, rules state that all significant holdings have to be announced!!! Well that is unless in the grand sceme of things there holding isn't significant! Also funny as all this buying hasn't pushed the sp up or reduced the overhang one bit.....

Significant ramping rubbish being talked about SER at the moment. What I can say is that I have had a small punt today and had trouble getting my order filled (within the online limit) until a 2 million sell went through. Most of that was taken later on. FWIW I don't believe there is an overhang now, if there was my order would have been filled with no trouble at all.
As far as announcing a notifiable interest is concerned, I believe that the initial Buy order has to be completed before any action is required. However, if anyone knows any different, feel free to correct me.

ptholden - your correct the initial buy order does have to be completed first. So we either assume an RNS is on the way and Teton have removed the overhang. Or there still debating on buying there is an overhang.... Your online limit proves nothing as you should know, limits are time sensitive on what limit price you set for the buy. I take it you were after a bargain otherwise you'd have bought at best with a quick call to your broker.

My order was placed on line 'at best'. The offer at the time was 0.055p. The order could not be filled resulting in a call to my Broker. During our conversation the order was filled at 0.053p. Subsequently I noticed that prior to completion of my Buy, a large Sell had gone through. I, for one, do not believe there is an overhang. The proof will or will not by virtue of a RNS in due course.
I have no axe to grind either way, this is a very speculative punt, following some Research. Like you I am still somewhat dubious, especially having read some of the crap on here and other boards. I'm just taking a pragmatic view based on my dealings today.
