I can't see AFR being taken out for anything less than 100p....though the two things that bothers me are the price of crude continuing to drop and Afren's level of debt.....if these can be dealt with then the sp will rocket back up...

pipedream?

in auction.,.

my buy at 27p looking better now.......... :)

any bid will be way under a £1 if at all

How did perform today

AFR 28.76 + 7.02p or 32.29%

Some very good performance on the last few minutes of the day, earlier on there was some large buys ( closing shorts also )

did the shorters cut their losses?
or is all "pipedream" of going lower from now on

I'll have a look at mitzy's account.........

Looking good on my punt today

Place your bet's gentlemen please

Should see uptrend continue 35 - 40p ?

Some kind of bidding war wouldn't hurt .

from FT tonight ....

AFR - African explorer Afren rallied 32.3 per cent to 28.8p after Seplat Petroleum, its potential bidder, announced a $1bn debt refinancing including $700m to fund acquisitions.

Under Takeover Panel rules, Seplat has a deadline of Monday to formalise its Afren offer though it is widely expected to request an extension. Afren shares have also been helped by continued rumours that a consortium linked to one of Afren’s founders has been looking at making a counter offer.

rumours point to directors wanting 100p + for the stock

Is important that the OIL price recovers a bit at least to get 100p
One help could be that the Dollar is overvalued and Bank of America could ask to devalued the currency, helping oil prices and precious metals prices on the process

Time to dive in then.....

Fill your boots rf!!! Looks like they are trying to encourage buyers.

Yes Harrycat......like in a western....frankly this should be above 40p.....

There is a rumour going round that says this will taken out above 100p......no idea who started it...I wonder how Cynic's short's getting on...

Don't get taken in by that cr*p rf. Reading other BB's is a passport to madness! I've seen anything from 40p to 400p touted around. If SEPLAT walk, then we are all going to be in negative territory!

There will be others.....Tullow oil springs to mind if they have the capital....Dragon oil....

The herd might be in view.....
