Independent News & Media today ;

Finally, among the multitude of cash shells expected to list today is Carpathian Resources. The company has raised 400,000 in what brokers reported was a heavily oversubscribed placing. They tip the stock, which is due to float at 3p, to perform strongly.

10p monday? imho

Nice run... up 130+% early am...

Retrace sob 80%...

Possible second wave pending?

DYOR...

I like the look of this stock on the basis of the portfolio of licences being explored, but would tend to buy on SP weakness in the hopes of the co. making further hydrocarbon discoveries in the near future. If recent experience with co's such as VOG is anything to go by, the share price will probably be down 20% or more in a few days from now. The shares are not nearly as sought-after as larger co's such as VOG, IEC, SBE, so expect the SP to languish for a while pending further good news . . .

Nice feedback... Was looking at the portfolio too...

Was thinking the same - possible 'bull trapping' now as well over 150 orders have come in at 5.5p... 13Mil+ to 2Mil+

As always with this stuff - Be in the wings - Ready to pounce...

Did move very fast this morning.

PP

I know... wish I had Octopus sometimes (LOL)

what is the prediction for monday,more gains or profit taking and back down to 4p,or another 1 or 2p rise.

expect a decent rise to 7-7.25 monday.

Anybody know how much SVE owns/invested?

ellio,

It's quite smalll actually, but a profit is a profit, and there may well be more to come here in the future, so another good investment by Bruce.

Ellio,

In the SVE 4SQ October 2005 report, it says this about SVE's smaller investments;

Starvest had eight other relatively small
investments (which we do not describe in detail)
at the July 2005 year end, valued at around
700,000. Since then a further 108,000 has
been invested in OFEX new issue Concorde Oil
& Gas.

The eight small investments are Agricola
Resources; Beowulf Gold; Black Rock Oil &
Gas; Brazilian Diamonds; Carpathian Resources;
India Star Energy; Matisse Holdings; and St
Helens Capital. We estimate that all these are
showing an unrealised profit.

Guten Tag!

Thanks to Andy for the Starvest info - v. interesting!

Am still not convinced that this one is going to bounce up much higher on the basis of Friday's announcement. The actual cash value of the additional gas found is not great - estimating 3 billion cu ft of recoverable gas at US$6 per mcf means the total gas now estimated to be recoverable is worth $18 million, of which 60% nets to CPNR, for $10.8 million/6million approx. For such a tiddler, the current market cap of around 7 million (sp: 5.16p) seems ample. Additional value will come from further discoveries in the portfolio.

I would hope that the production rate at Ja3a will now be increased, however, reducing CPNR's reliance on external fundraising as the co becomes more cash-generative.

Found some money down the back of the settee, so have decided to have a sniff at this one. The co will be drilling 3 or 4 wells in H2 2006 to explore some potential gas plays and maybe one oil play. Their larger gas prospects are between 32 - 133 bcf; oil is reckoned to be 7 million bbl. Given that the enlarged gas asset of last week's announcement is only about 4 bcf, a positive result this year could see a radical transformation of the company's value . . .

Agreed!

Interim results out today - no surprises,though. A few punters seem to have offloaded some shares by way of profit-taking or damage-limitation after last week's spike.

Definately one to watch...

Ticked up 0.25p this morning on news that a director has acquired shares in the co for his pension fund.

It's not a big transaction, but clearly he thinks the stock is cheap (Bid: 4p; Offer 4.5p). Spread is quite tight at the moment too.
