BOR has moved upwards on the back of the FOGL news re farm-in deal with BHP Billiton. Will BOR be next in the spotlight?

Borders & Southern is led by Howard Obee, an oil industry veteran who worked at BP and BHP Billiton... Scott Pickford, an industry consultancy, has estimated that surveys indicate two areas in the field could hold a combined total of more than 600m barrels of recoverable oil and gas reserves.

BOR continues to forge ahead - up another 5% (4.75p) this morning.
while FOGL also continues to trick up, it is not to the same degree.
hard to tell whether or not there is anything of note afoot (with BOR)

Panmure G say 'buy' with 151p target.

i only have 5000, but would be very happy with that

was half-tempted to top up at about 102/105 but decided against it as could see no real reason for the continuing rise .... surely a buy note with a target of 150 cannot be providing the impetus, and certainly not 5%+ for the last several days?

was marginally berating myself for having sold out yesterday ..... but have changed my mind!

It was definitely the right thing to have done, Cynic - I sold mine this morning.
I did read somewhere of a horrible downgrading for both FOGL and DES, and wonder whether that may have had a knock-on effect on BOR

this is always the prob with blue sky companies ..... until they actually have something to show, they are effectively worth bugger all ... or sweet FA depending on one's preferences and proclivities!

Don't suppose you remember where you saw that downgrading report, Toya?

Morning Harrycat: I'll try and fish it out from the dark recesses of my brain - get back to you when I've retrieved it.

Harrycat: found the info: not FOGL (sorry, no false rumours intended!) but RKH and DES:

"Rockhopper, the Falkland Islands explorer, rose 2p to 110p after raising 3.8 million in a share placing. It has committed to funding 15 per cent of drilling costs for Desire Petroleum, another Falklands explorer, which rose 2p to 107p. Desire has been talking up its prospects, but Tim Heeley, a Daniel Stewart analyst, pointed out that Rockhopper would need ten times more cash to fund its commitment to Desire, an indication that Desire is a long way from being able to drill. Mr Heeley reiterated sell advice on both stocks, with targets of 20p on Desire and 25p on Rockhopper."

Thanks Toya. No immeditae cause for concern, imo, but if other brokers start to chew over the numbers, then maybe time to bail out.

sp seems to be steadying this morning - one to keep on the watchlist.

but, imo, not time to buy ...... sure glad i banked my profits

Although they stated it should have been out by now BOR are still processing the 3D survey data, I wonder if the delay is because a third party is also looking at it ?....any thoughts as to the suggestion of a farm-in from one of the larger players.Only mention this as other sites(ii) seem to be adopting this view.

BOR has got to be a SELL looking at the graph as the delay in survey data and no news on the front will dip to 40p I guess

attached shows 200 dma firmly breached ..... another falklands E&P minnow, and find it hard to disagree with hyleo .... see also my (constructive!) comment this morning on FOGL

I think we are right, cynic.
