profits ahead of last years.the company has 80% interest in a joint venture with china national petroleum corp(cnpc).market makers bought a lot of stock on friday followed by big buys on monday.profit taking on tues am then buyers back in pm.any views?

gardyne,

Well I hope you're right!

I'm still holding, I feel China and gas may be a real opportunity for them, right time right place IMHO.

Aboslutely Andy, remember even Warren said China is the place to be. The lastest DB deal underpins this price. Apart from that banks dont do deals that wont make them money. For me, THEY are looking at a handsome return. I am very long on this and cant say it's for my pension like Biffa (maybe he is older than me....lol) But it could certainly buy me a very nice house.

Only question I have is over the timescales the sp will increase over. I think double in a year.

Good to see others positive and are longtermers.It seems this share is very popular for pensions.Anyway lets sit back and wait for next development.

gardyne,

Agreed.

held well today, and quite a bit of volume too!

i am sitting on this one has i think china is the place to be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice to see people are starting to take notice i did tip jkx and look at that i bought 20p and made a nice bundle then watched it double again so not going to do that again with this one ,this is going to make us rich but patience is reqed

biffa18,

Superb profit on JKX, well done!
I got in at 37p, and further along as it rose.


I agree FTO requires patience, slow and steady is fine by me.

Well soon 2005 and this share is going to make me a tad richer this coming year !!

Something I "filched" from across the road.
I have just read a statement from China Aviation's Parent Company regarding a new contract signed with Bluesky regarding the purchase of Jet Fuel.
Unfortunately it is in Acrobat format so I could not copy & paste !!!!
I would suggest interested parties search under China Aviation.
The Date the information was released was the 21/Dec.so is up to date info.IMHO.

Seine,

Thanks for that.


teletigger,

Any chance you could try Seine's method, and paste here please?

This is certainly a share to put in your back pocket and keep for the longer term, with so much positive news and potential for this company I cannot understand anyone that is waiting for the share to rise a couple of pence so they can sell?

I have many shares in my protfolio for which I am awaiting a slight increase in the share price so that I can take the money and run but this is definately not one of them, FTO is in the right place at the right time, Im in for the long term on this one, this is the sort of share we have all had dreams about, dont sell your dreams guys hold on to them and watch them turn into reality.

healthy,

Totally agree, not one to trade, but to hold, IMHO.

level 2 ...6/1
9/10 except evo..... they do seem to work in funny ways

l2 2/2 could be a tick down on the way

Looking forward to seeing this share tipped in the papers for 2005.

couple of fair size buys went thr yesterday ,l2 looking a bit weak but not much more than expected considering today
Happy new year to fto holders and may we be rich/richer next year !!

well fto holders, wonder if we will get a new yrs rns about the latest Blue Sky situation i would think the bank must be aware of latest situation and be quite happy as they went ahead with purchase of 47mill shares , so must be good news on the way ,just when is the big ?
