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 :

PP, Thanks. Strong cash generation from Oil Sales by year end. :-)

Thanks PP, bought a few more as they look cheap on Mkt Cap vs future revenues.DYOR

Pick up in buying volume today, lets hope finally something good is around the corner after so much disappointment in Guatemala so far.

Yes I hope so too, it's a long way to Tipperary, but it's even further to reach the price I paid for PELE.
2517

Me to George,these have been an absolute disaster for me so far.

Well, I have been holding for 18 months now, and still down 50% on my average price, so an even longer disaster for me, however, the coming months SHOULD, hopefully, make all that pain a little more worthwhile.

We will see....... fingers crossed :)

Averaged down to 25p..........hope we are currently seeing the bottom.....certainly prospects look good enough!!!

Grateful for any feedback from the Proactive One2One Forum with PELE this evening from any attendees. Hope its fruitful.

Post from AFN summarising the presenation last night :



Cerrito - 26 Oct'06 - 12:24 - 529 of 531


The following is what I picked up last night with a clarifying call with the company this morning.
I see no reason to sell except to lock in my considerrable losses for cgt purposes and am still pondering whether to increase my holding.

I am assuming that the handoutt we were given last night corresponds to what is on the website which I have had difficulty opening.

Guatemala

Atzam ready to roll with the work over with a further short delay on Tortugas while they negotiate with the villagers and move the workcamp. You will note that Tortugas well work over scheduled to start in Dec in the charts.

Cash Position

Told that Capex will be lighter in the first quarter 07 than the present quarter so will not continue to loose US1m a month on average..Q4 cash loss of $3m also impacted by convertible loan repayment of $410k. Surprising to me that Guat capex is so high ie $2.3m in quarter.
They say that Serafin should be delivering gas by 4 07..payment terms not exactly defined yet but my interpretation of what they said is that if the $600kinvestnment has a 2.5month payback then by say the end of September at the latest they should have received a cash flow post expenses of same $600k.
They are anticipating having resolution on the PDN contract extension at turn of year which would trigger the $13m payment if successful; were told that they have an outline( my memory is that was the word used) agreement with Maquirre to fund that or part of that(amount not specified) on a long term basis. Note that $7m bridging loan has not been repaid
The cash position looks tight especially when it is not clear that they will be getting any revenue from Guat in say the first quarter 07.
Third quarter 06 cash flow was: start$4.6m; PDN income $2m; Fundraising $9.8m. The cash outflow was $3m op expenses; $3.5m capex; $0.5m PDN acquisition fees and $1.5m payment of creditors leaving us with starting cash 1 oct 06 of $7.8m
Big picture anticipated capex expenditure for 2007 is that for the first three quarters it will be relatively light and then picking up in the fourth quarter as Colombian drilling starts.

Other

Comment made that Serafina a biogeneric(?) gas field which therefore means it is small but normally if there is one there is another nearby.
Rig rates in Colombia starting to weaken abit and comfortable with rig availability when they start to drill at end of 2007.
shallowness of Guat drilling contrasted with that of Col drilling(Midas,La Paloma) up to 14000ft.

This is an extract from EK's diary (at www.t1ps.com ) on Friday 3rd Nov :


"................I had a chaT with my man the other day and Petrolatina (PELE) is absurdly cheap. Its shares fell the other day as it drilled a dry hole. But this hole was always going to be dry. It was an obligation well. With that out of the way the real fun can now begin and my target is 50p...."
