http://www.gulfkeystone.com/ The firms exploration programme in Algeria is going well and "the shares look good value", say the Investors Chronicle. Your comments please. goal.

Something positive on those trying to sell shares that just bought at the placing @ 140p..... 6 months lock-up

Interpretation of 6 months lock-up period courtesy of "theperpetualoptimist" from iii's bb

"...In the meantime to lower my blood pressure I read the very long and very boring appendix to the RNS and found one little nugget of positive news. The shares issued today cannot be sold enblock to a predator for 6 months (point 11). They can only be sold through the normal market mechanisms. This means that the institutions receiving the shares are, for 6 months, forced to be "safe hands" in so far as they cannot do deals with a hostile bidder."

good to see people doing well - gl

I too sold half on yesterdays news,almost predictable the placing would be lower.Overall a good piece of news,come next year the benefits will be for all to see. Holding on to see
how the market holds up,before releasing cash,although it looks a snip at the present SP?

Trying to break the 150p now as the order book got very strong on the bid side

Small caps: oil explorers ripe for predators
By Steve Lodge and Bryce Elder

Oil explorers were in focus on Thursday after Goldman Sachs argued that the sector was trading at levels that were likely to attract predators.

The dislocation between the long-dated crude price and E&P [exploration and production] equities has become extreme and is now at levels comparable with early 2009, Goldman told clients. We believe this dislocation represents an opportunity for well funded larger players that are struggling to grow to make acquisitions and that this activity could re-rate the E&P sector.

Names on Goldmans list of potential targets included Falklands explorer Rockhopper Exploration , down 6.8 per cent to 194.9p, Chinas Green Dragon Gas , off 5.9 per cent to 7.9p, and Albania-focused Bankers Petroleum , which fell 8.8 per cent to 260p.

Goldman also argued that valuations had been depressed by market concerns over explorers access to funding.
Although we recognise that many companies will require additional funding to develop assets or extend exploration programmes, we believe that, in general, the sector is funded for significant catalysts in the short term, it said.
Goldman also added Gulf Keystone Petroleum and Tower Resources to its buy list as part of the review, while adding Desire Petroleum and Hardy Oil & Gas to its sell list. But Gulf Keysone was off 5 per cent to 151p, Tower lost 1.7 per cent to 4p, Desire retreated 5.3 per cent to 18p and Hardy was 1.7 per cent weaker at 198.4p in a generally torrid session for natural resource companies.

not a day to be suckered back into the markets ..... ftse already falling back though it is a reasonable bet that it will stay above 5000 for w/e at least

Holding up nicely but the drops elsewhere are way overdone now in my opinion......the world might be in a bad state but I reckon it will chug along for a few years before pulling itself together again.....perhaps the bank of england ought to raise interest rates by a token mesure as that might inspire the markets into thinking that inflation and such will be kept under control.....

Just to calm your nerves
JOKE

Never mind about the markets dropping ...
I'm more worried about where that f**kin satellite is going to land!!
Attention ... Hard-hats on and head for the bunkers ... !
