thanks cyril

I didn't bother to look earlier, as I like to see it on a clear picture and if posible on a candlestick form

-------------------

the much awaited bounce looks like is on the way with today's 2p rise

just got back into this one myself.....took decision based upon

1....possible bid
2....when oil price falls, the production volumes are usually cut in order to support price
3.....some time in future the world economy will pick up and oil will be in demand again

one out of three would be brill

1....possible bid , cut's out the waiting game for the other two , suits me. Am sure there would a counter bid or more.

with no management left, i would have thought t/o was a racing certainty, though at what price and when is another matter

London, 6 November 2014



Afren plc ("Afren" or the "Company") announces that Mr Ennio Sganzerla has resigned as Non-Executive Director of Afren effective today in order to pursue other business interests

Having joined the board on 26 June 2009, Ennio has served as a Director of Afren Plc for over five years and has been an integral member of the Audit and Risk, Nomination and Remuneration Committees.

The Company will be announcing new appointments to the Board Committees in due course.

Egbert Imomoh, Executive Chairman of Afren, commented:

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Ennio for his considerable and valued contribution to Afren. We wish him well in his future endeavours."

looks that deep shit gets even deeper ...... i still hold a few, so roll on a take-over

Audit and Risk, Nomination and Remuneration Committees ?

When it rains it certainly does a good job.
Marked down to support 72.30p and then a spike still lasting to 75.68p

sounds like market pleased that the non exec director has quit!!!!! lol

Oil Price Fall Threatens US Oil Production
Oil Price Fall Threatens US Oil Production By STEVE AUSTIN, 2014/11/04

The sharp oil price fall from $100 last summer to below $80 in just three months will bankrupt small US oil producers who need at least $80 per barrel to be profitable. It's as shame because the dream of US energy independence may never realize. Meanwhile OPEC producers are seizing this opportunity to keep prices just below $80 and thin out competitors.

Some think that ship has sailed and those not on board are missing the ride
now 78.25p

quite right mentor..... in at 73p and looking forward to a steady climb.,.

SAP have not made their bid yet!
Please board now.

re post of 6 Nov 2014 re Mr Ennio Sganzeria -

On behalf of Shareholders, I would like to wish Mr Ennio Sganzeria ( Non Executive Director ) good ridance for his poor work as Audit and Risk, Nomination and Renumeration Committee Member.
Was he sleeping while his CEO, and COO etc seem to have had their hands in the till ? What qualifications and experience did Mr Ennio have, for him to have been so ineffective ?

On behalf of Shareholders I wish to say we are glad you have gone mate - and do not ask Afren Shareholders for any references.

Who recommended this - is it - plonker to Afren as non Executive Director, no wonder he has resigned he must be so embarrassed ?

Up 10% on no news

Wish I'd invested more the way it's going.,.

i think it may well be found that the CEO orchestrated everything
it looks undeniable that he syphoned off an awful lot of money into some BVI entity and ran that as a private fiefdom

it is unclear how/why other (non main board) directors got a handout from there, but that doesn't de facto make them guilty of malpractice, especially if they were not directors let alone shareholders of same

however, it is certain (i think) that the main board was never advised that these "performance bonuses" were being paid, and therefore also not of their provenance

=========

anyway, there's no doubt that AFR is now left floundering rudderless, so one would hope that there will be a t/o at a respectable price in the near future

don't hold your breath!

Derwent -
Do not wish too much for SAP news - that may only be a "bonus" if it ever comes.

Afr was over sold probably people getting stops hit on heavy market traders short selling ( who does this ). They are probably buying back now at small dealer expense.
Also others seeing that it may have hit a rock bottom and is well undervalued.
Also a move up in Brent oil prices for the first time in a couple of weeks.

To me Afren may soon issue some good drilling and production news, and with some decent Directors at the helm, - by Christmas may hopefully be back to above 140p, as a quality investment.

Also Kurdistan - sod the Baghdad Central Government messing with payments - Kurdistan could sell their oil to an Oil Trader, who could then sell it on to a User.
The Trader would be happy to get the Kurdistan oil at best price, pay Kurdistan Gov., and sell it on to an anonymous user. Only problem could be pipeline security I think. So Kurdistan oil could soon start gushing for Afren.
.

Is Kirkuk Oil fields now under the control of Kurdistan or Baghdad, with these ongoing ( Islamic State ) IS problems ?
