what do you think of THR they are a hisk risk exploratory share. the last RNS gave disappointing figures but dont how to interpret these. do they mean that they are still a poss multi bagger but not to the same extent as previously thought or more likely dont touch me with a barge pole?
your thoughts if you get a chance please?
i only hold 100pounds worth and can afford to lose it as was a little gamble.
Alex

alan, i'll stick it here.



from what i have read it's not a dead cross. even though the 50ma has crossed the 200ma, the 200ma is still moving up. for it to be a dead cross both the 50ma and 200ma need to be on the down slope. however, if things carry on like this it does look like there will be a golden cross quite soon.

Take your word for it, bos.
Even with 20/20 hindsight I can't see anything in the chart that would have suggested the rapid rise. help me to learn?
Alan

the macd turning positive, maybe? but here is a good opportunity. let's keep an eye on it. if there is a golden cross, then it should be followed by a good bull run.

Picked up a few Redhall group RHL today been rising strongly-so I'm late to the party! lots of nuclear work to come their way according to ADVN posters - glad of opinions on this one. cheers MP. anyone following EPY-they've put out fantastic results today.

MP, Very interested in EPY, on my watch list, they are certainly delivering.

Disappointing there wasn't a better sp lift after the results but they are quite difficult to buy online-only small amounts better sizes through a telephone deal.

That HYC is up again today. Golden cross looks very likely.
Alan

director buying at BBC.

Why not ITV

The adverts play havoc with my VCR.

Take a look at COH.. wont ramp as company speaks for itself, could be a multi bagger in couple of years time... look at the market potential...

Spent many an hour researching kazakhstan for something else, but noticed it has oil.. began looking for aim type oil companies and found this one. what is up with CSH? oil is flowing but SP is isnt! kazakhstan is good oil producing country so would hope company shud be making heaps
i am obviously missing something. any thoughts [keep them clean and civil please.. i am still new to this]
Alex
also found a US listed one that is possibly a t/over prospect " transmeridian"[ well it is if its the one Matt Badiali is possibly alluding to in his oil report advert[ free with RHPS this month]...i wont find out for sure as i am not sending off for it]
identified from the 14,000 acre oilfield in Kazakhstan comment and lots hunting on Google

Robert -csh does look promising but very often with these small companies until they get noticed and excitement and momentum start to build they can lanquish at these levels forever!! Another like this is SEY on the research looks a very good prospect but not much of a rise in the sp so eventually I moved on. I'm currently in CHP as there's lots of interest and the likely announcement of good news very soon but no guarantees of course. The trick is to watch the ones the posters are getting excited about-do your own research to check them out and then hope to jump onboard and ride the upside jumping off when you 've made a satisfactory profit! It doesn't always work as I very often jump on too late! good luck MP

sorry posted twice

MP, I thought that CSH looked to be worth a punt when I looked at it earlier in the year - provided one accepts the fact that it's likely to be a incremental grower rather than a blockbuster.

RobAlex, Market forces (i.e. a prevailing apathy/pessimism) is holding many shares back at the moment. CSH looks to have fair prospects BUT if you look at RNS's of July 18th the amount of oil being produced is not huge - only 300 bpd so far. Current SP levels ought to provide plenty of upside if the drilling programme goes according to plan (the stuff under the salt lake looks promising, for example), but please DYOR etc.

Afternoon all!

I had promised myself I was going to wait a while before tipping this, in view of how many rookie punters seem to be remortgaging their houses to pay for blue-sky oil companies that then go through the wars, HOWEVER I think this one is a bit less risky.

And with no further ado:

Hardman Resources (HNR) has dropped over 40% since its April peak due to production problems at its one producing site (Chinguetti). However I feel the stock is due a turnaround as these are due to be offset by the drilling of further wells later this year and in H1 next year.

HNR is currently drilling two rounds of exploration, one likely to be worth a net 6,000 bbl oil/day, the second worth a net 900 bcf of gas. Results for these are due in about ten days for the oil and soon after for the gas.

In my view the current SP is justified by current production plus part of the production due from prospects that have already been tested, meaning new shareholders get most of the broad exploration portfolio (including a 13-stage drilling programme to the end of 2007) basically for free.

The only downside I can see is political risk in Mauritania, but I think this is a background issue due largely to civil unrest (correct me if I'm wrong but it's not like the problems of re-nationalisation going on in Peru).

The SP has also bounced off a support level today in spite of the iffy market.

Anyway I have dipped a toe in the water today and invite others to consider doing so. News and views on the thread.


As usual this is all IMHO, PDYOR.

Forgot to mention re HNR that the exploration portfolio is one of the more exciting ones I have seen - lots of apparently very solid leads, many prospects hoped to be 1-billion barrels -plus, and this from a company that is well-financed and already producing.

In April I was convinced the company was overvalued at around 800 mil; now it's at 440-ish mil with a clear path ahead towards production I have changed my mind and turned Buyer.

Europa Oil and Gas!! (EOG) currently available for around 31 - 33p and even better, the warrants (EOGW), exerciseable at 30p and due to expire Nov 2007 (but please do your homework on these as they are a risky class of asset. Thank you!).

Why? Firstly, forthcoming production hikes due to Romanian assets coming onstream - should be announced by month's end and will cause about a four- or five-fold increase in daily production/turnover.

Secondly, EOG's profits for 2007 are set to shoot even higher as the Romanian domestic gas market fixes the gas price for the new year by taking the average gas price for the current year and multiplying by 0.8. Take a look at oilbarrel.com's price chart for Henry Hub gas. Prices this year are up on last year - average by year end 2006 should be well over $6.50, giving EOG/Romania a gas price of at least $5.20 in 2007 (EOG is currently able to sell gas for $4.30, i.e. for the forthcoming production at its Romanian sites for the remainder of 2006).That's a 20% rise.

To summarise - five-fold production increase this year, 20% increase in prices next year.

EDIT - EOG's net working interest in its Romanian assets stands at 28.75%. This is still fairly small, but it would seem that there is plenty of scope for upside to EOG's shares over the coming 18 months.

Some interesting posts, one I think that could bag at least with potential for a 5 to 10 bagger is AST which is Ascent Resources.

Presently a producer of small amounts, but amounts that give nice cash inflow, they have a very active 18 months of drilling ahead, with 10 drills in the coming 6 months for starters.

Some, like Hungary, offer very good chances of commercial gas to boost the revenue side and others like Italy offer substansial upside of large finds.

Very good mix of low and high risk plays and short term target of 25p and potential of 75p or more by Dec 07, not bad given AST is presently just 11.5p to buy, and directors have been spending big money recently buying shares between the 9p and 12.5p levels.

A producer gives them cash in status, with big upside on exploration, so certainly worth a flutter I feel on a short, mid and long term basis.

IMO, DYOR etc.. etc..
