and then on iii from poster Aberdeen31

"I have heard various rumours around the Oil Industry since Monday there is definitely bidding talks going on.

Someone somewhere has let the cat out the bag and if it keeps going then I dare say Xcite may be forced to release an RNS with what is going on.

Some VERY price sensitive info is going about up here and its just a matter of time before it is know further a field

I am topping up at every chance before the chance is long gone.

Lets see what tomorrow brings

Just my view as always.

come on marky; you're experienced enough to know that rumour spreads rumour .... that's exactly how ramping works giving so many BBs a deserved bad name

just call me Pro Cynic....... i do like a good rumour especialy when i hold a few, roll on Monday.

RKH should hear news there soon.

not sure if anything sinister need be read into the latest news that the rig contract has been extended yet again, this time to 11/2, but it is at least slightly unsettling

bloody frustrating .... sp could drop back....buying opportunity.... maybe.,.

Am I missing something or shouldn't there have been a CPR by now? Is something amiss? Any thoughts?

if you read 1264 and also consider the heavy gales, that might give a clue ..... i don't think anything's amiss, though one can never be certain

thanks cynic and I hope you're right!

March for CPR I think ?

Oil Barrel he said late Feb Early March

looks like faked demand for these today ..... sp is very gung-ho but volume is very light

typical XEL up RKH down

Just marching time till some news........the waiting .......shear hell.,.

"marching time"????? - left, right, left, right; first cocaine line forward and present arms!!!???? ..... "shear hell"????? - only if you're a sheep and get nicked a few times!

The Falklands and North Sea are definitely keeping life interesting!............

Country boy don't ya no.,.

f*ing moonraker!
