PP, SP weakness today, MMs?

Seller silvermede, someone put out 75K at 28p a few days ago, and returned today with 25K at 28p sell and then the one that knocked it down was a 79K at 26p........odd number might say they were cleared out with the 79K at 26p.

Ops update in September and I know of no bad news coming, so purely a seller imo. caused the drop down.

PP, Thanks for that. Rather shake out those weaker/shorter term investors now than later.

Looks like WINS took the 79K at 26p yesterday, presently selling it back to buyers at just under 28p, rest of the MM's on 32/33 offer.

News of fund raising and update look interesting, and not long to wait (september) for more updates by the look of things, although still nursing a loss I will continue holding, I would normally top up at these lower levels but I have enough exposure to oil co's, besides there are some value plays to be had.
2517

It does rather look as if the new shares were issued @ around the 20p mark so further weakness tomorrow could be expected I suppose, stick with it I guess.
2517

I'll post a post of mine earlier, no real surprises in the news today.

It was obvious that a further fund raising would take place, as the cash was used to pay for PDN (as stated in the PDN acquisition RNS). It should also not come as a surprise given the recent warrant excercise from Greg Smith, that pointed to working cap levels getting low.

Surprised at it being done now.........yes and no. NO because working cap would be getting low, NO because everyone knew it had to happen sooner or later for pay for PDN, YES timing of placing wrong (FD now gone), they should have done it before (did Geoff advise not to do it earlier?) when the PDN deal was done. NO because the markets could go for a serious October correction (best get your fund raising done now in case), YES because if working cap was not low, they should have waited a few months for positive news balanced against possible market correction later as well.
I would assume therefore that Geoff's departure might have be a prerequisite of the Institutions who brought in, and have now seriously averaged down their prices present holding prices.
Around 20p - same level that Liberty Square was taken out at with that large cross trade.

No real surprises at all, as I have said recently, buy for the long term, and see if they achieve the 3500 bopd output by end 2007.

No doubt the numpties will all say its PP's fault, LOL, but thats the green eyed monster kids for you.

All I'll say, if you want to hold then hold, if not don't. I'm happy to hold and add on further weakness and judge them again come end Dec 07.

Oil and Gas and mining has its ups and downs, VOG has been well over 200p and well under 100p, EME has been near to 200p and down to 30p, AEN was a dream and now is a nightmare. They go up and down with progress, its a simple as that, PELE the progress has been dissapointing, so it goes down. Their assets are still there assets though, so a fall in the SP due to lack of progress will soon be corrected when they finally do get some progress.

Plenty going on, including a new little gas well, and in some ways I am happier that this placing is out of the way, its been in the back of peoples minds since they announced their intention to buy PDN that it had to be done, now it is, so thats it.

Plus side, the new gas well revenue should more than make up for the dilutive effect, and so Seymour Pierces EPS target of 6.63pence for 2007 should hold :)

Even if they get only 5 pence EPS in 2007, is that not good ? ;) LOL

Anyone has any questions, your know Nick Gay's email.

Another copied post of mine for info :

PapalPower - 1 Sep'06 - 06:08 - 262 of 262

7kiwi with present increases I would guess around the 2 to 2.5 million pounds per year after all deductions net revenue to PELE from this new gas well (at the minimum of 6 mmscf per day stated). Any higher flow is upside, anyless is, well you know, that PELE feeling ;) LOL

I have tried a little Guatemala ops update of myself :

3X - Pressure build up testing - will produce - when is a different matter - maybe some time in 2007.
1X - Testing starts September, so perhaps January or February 07 news there as it should go on long term testing.

Huapec new well - I would guess on site in October - drilling late October/early November - then on to long term testing - news around April 2007

Atzam 2 workover - should be first up, most likely finished end October.
Tortugas - 5 workover - pending - possibly November
Totugas - 4 workover - pending - possibly December

Three new wells at Tortugas - pending - Q1 (or Q2) 2007.
_____________________________________

Colombia is a different beast as its got the PDN going concern there, which should mean Colombia plans will proceed according to planned schedules. I would guess given the delays on Tortugas workovers they have decided to delay the 3 new wells at Tortugas and go for cash flow, being the new gas well and pipeline in Colombia - which makes sense to me.

All IMO. DYOR.

"7Kiwi - 31 Aug'06 - 20:55 - 253 of 261

If they can achieve $3, before royalties, maybe $1.50 after, then that works out, by my reckoning to 1.5-2m net revenue per annum, assuming 360 days of operation."

Cannot remember who posted elsewhere saying RAB did not hold, they do, both the Special Situations and the Energy Fund.

The new shares in the placing should be split amongst some of these larger holders, so lets see who it is later.

PP, just noted that EK from t1ps has gone long on PELE with figures of 100p in mind.

We shall see, but perhaps sentiment is begining to change??

100p is not out of the question, if Guatemala starts to produce and also the Midas field comes good next year :)

silvermede - what does EK say?

EK says nothing, apart from the 100p target.

Venue is the Chesterfield Mayfair.

Out now on the free uk-analyst.com email today about EK's diary entry last week, with his long in PELE. Extract below :-

...............""Kensington (KGN) continues to rise and now looks a good time to open a short. Regrettably I am already been short for the past 700p of upside but my day will come. Recent drilling news from Oilexco's (OIL) North Sea operations looks pretty bad to me and in a sector full of huff and puff this looks more overvalued than most. I have opened a short. However, I have opened a long position in Petrolatina (PELE) at 20p. The diarist asks for the fundamental analysis behind this trade. Impertinence. A chap I know tells me that the shares could go to a pound. My fundamental analysis is that my pal knows what he is talking about. And that is that. I admit that family Cawkwell already has some exposure as Pele was formerly known as Tagmen and I was in that at 70p. But that is a trivial detail."...........................

Well worth a look through it :
