Ooooooooooooohh,nasty,ms

ouch...there was a case a few days ago when a bloke lost 80% of his old boy when his girlfriend/wife/maniac cut it off while he slept and threw it out the back porch never to be seen again. ouuuuuuuch!

My eye's are watering at the very thought.

MS

i know....just imagine his realisation when he awoke. There CAN'T be anything worse!

Think he would have woken up pretty quickly! Not a nice thought! Mickey, you'd have to change your name to mickeyminus.

Small mention in the Times today saying that ROC have announced that the Mauritannian Government are taking up their 12% option.

That was yesterday, interesting today a ROC Director sells some shares........

Link to another article:

http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/041103/15/3o891.html

From Bloomberg:

"Woodside Petroleum Ltd. (WPL AU), Australia's second-biggest oil producer, dropped 19 cents, or 1 percent, to A$19.30. Santos Ltd. (STO AU), the nation's third-biggest oil producer, fell 6 cents, or 0.7 percent, to A$8.04.

Hardman Resources Ltd. (HDR AU), a partner in Woodside Petroleum Ltd.'s $600 million oil project off Mauritania, fell 3 cents, or 1.5 percent, to A$2.01 amid expectations its stake in the project will be reduced.

Perth-based Hardman, which owns 22 percent of the Chinguetti project, would have its interest cut to about 19 percent if the Mauritanian government exercises an option to take a 12 percent stake. The government is likely to do that after signing a funding agreement last week with Sterling Energy Plc, Roc Oil Co., another project partner, said yesterday."

So perhaps ROC's directors sold as their share of Chinguetti will be less once the Mauritanian Govt take up their option. Same for the fall in HNR maybe?

SWW, I take it you noticed the free L2 trial thread at the top of the page? You can try it out for 7 days. I remember you saying you missed the last free trial.

so SEY certainly looks like the one to hold....

It does indeed Prop. Through to 2006 for me, but others may have a different timescale.

i am with you sir!

Moi aussi! Au moins to Q1 ou me extritd'ann

Opps, sorry different bb.

Mee too! At least to Q1 or even year end.

Even then I plan to hold some stock.

Looks like this could be heading towards a very canny deal indeed cut by Harry!

And I agree that now SEY is the only one needed out of the group.

The others must feel a little miffed I should think!

So that's 3 of us at least planning to hold this one to 2006 onwards. Anyone else thinking as long as that? Would be interesting to find out others thoughts.

Comparing this years accounts with those in 2006 will be a nice sight!

especially from the lofty high we expect to be viewing them from! my jet or yours....

2006 - so long as it doesn't dip below my stop loss

Where do you all think the share price is going to. I was looking to hold to Christmas. May have to re-organise my thinking on this one.

Afternoon,any food on offer.

you know the rules, mickey gets first dibs on food on offer....

This is my largest holding and providing the natives behave themselves I'm in untill the oil comes out, so roll on 2006. On a note of caution this is a democratic islamic country, if there is such a thing, with a little in house fighting going on. A poor country.

MS

I'm in this one long term. Looking at probably 2 years all being well...
Thai chicken and pumpkin stew with cous cous tonight.
