Star Energy is currently testing the Avington well in Southern England.
This will take about 4 weeks an RNS news feed said, it started on 25/06/06.

I hope it proves positive so we get a good share price rise!
We are 5% holders but i'm not sure how much in pence potential this is worth for the company.

Another good reason to hold on to this share.

naughty hali-wali! .... you're behaving like your mentor here and you know it only aggravates TossA

The only TossA round here is cynic, as proven by the crap he posts.

You only need to check other BB's on here for posts by cynic to see what a moron he is. I am not the only one that thinks this, its A CONCENSUS!!!!

I think someone ( cynic ) has scape from the mad house.

Moved my NOP cash to EOG just now, reasons below.


As I feared and posted last week following the action against drilling the Adriatic, Sicily is now being targeted by activists, its news in Italy today. They want to use the 'Mediterranean Action Plan', which as one of its aims "to limit and intervene promptly on oil pollution". So not only is the UK facing action in the woods, Shell Italia are facing opposition in Sicily!


Translated from Italian news:

According to data from environmental groups, would be more than a hundred permits required or existing research in the Mediterranean. Many of which affect their own Sicily.

Yet, according to environmentalists, a way to stop the drills there. It's called Mediterranean Action Plan, created under the auspices of UNEP (United Nation Environment Program), the plan foresees the creation of a network of Marine Protected Areas in the Mediterranean. Among these, the most important is just the Strait of Sicily, for some years the object of desire of the oil.

so ramp ramp ramp suddenly turned into dump dump dump and let's change horses shall we

cynic, still a prick I see, can't tell the difference between buying and selling based on news and the drivel between your ears. Tossa!

oh now i see .... you're just such a brilliant chap, that your exotic utterances of what stocks one should buy or sell are quite beyond my amoeba intellect ..... now how on earth do i EVER manage to make a bean from shares? ..... perhaps a phrenologist could shed some light on that .... anyway good to see that you sign off with your new and apposite handle

cynic, all anyone needs, to know the depths of your investment prowess, is a proctologist.

now that's a good name for HMRC, for they seem very keen on taking large samples from me each year

Guyana drill April, not Q1 but early Q2.

sp has not moved since you bailed out, so are you now implying that you have bought back in?

Dunno why sic-nic is posting on here, he knows I have him squelched as I don't need to read his drivel.

wonderful ...... fame as squelched by someone at last, even if it is only TossA ..... and of course, if i am squelched, how does TossA know my post was even directed towards him?

1 more post I don't see, from the filtered muppets beavis and butthead I guess LOL!

TopAnalyst, why is the share price of NOP so low compared to their P2 reserve figure ? Even Tempus has pointed out that they trade at only $1.50 bbl.
Using the companies figures 92 million shares in issue with P2 reserve figure of 102m boe, net debt is around 15m. Based on those figures the shareprice should be alot higher.
Thanks in advance.

robnickson, share is unloved!

Two brokers moved to hold from buy recently. Some have targets of 186p so there will be a lot of selling above 150p, a big limiter to near-term upside. You can see the broker rec's on Digital Look, free to register.

I sold out and moved the cash to EOG as the risk is much lower. The EOG MCap is much lower and has a very good chance of being a 10-bagger within 18 months. NOP could only really be a 5-bagger and they are also far more risky too. Pays yer money and takes yer choice ;)

Thanks for the quick reply, i used to have EOG shares but sold out. NOP had a sudden shareprice upswing today.
Good luck with EOG.

rob - a rhetorical question really .... forget all this crap about "baggers" ..... in hard cash, would you risk the same amount in an amoeba company as you would in properly established one in the same field? .... personally, i would not

whether or not EOG is a sure-fire winner as TossA consistently insists, is still very much open to question ..... it happens that i have a small investment in EOG as i think it's very high risk, but an awful lot more in the likes of PMO and TLW

cynic, so your opinion is that the management at NOP is poor ? Dont have the big guys PMO or TLW in my portfolio but the smaller oilies are doing just fine, XEL, NPE, EO, and still waiting for PTR to takeoff !!!

that wasn't the point of my post ..... the point was related to the amount of CASH that i would put into a given quality of stock - e.g. not much into EOG (very high risk), rather more into EO when i held it, and loads more into PMO and TLW

i don't go in for this macho posturing of "x stock was a 10-bagger for me" ..... i am happy to make a profit and prudently bank from time time, or even cut losses .... i neither profess nor pretend to expertise in any field, but merely pick and choose, often based on momentum and paying attention to at least a few posters on this BB ..... for sure i've picked some stinkers or got the timing completely arse over tit, but certainly overall for the last couple of years, i have made (BANKED!) some sizeable contributions to my bank manager
