Frankly,...I can't believe that people are still buying.....I still have quite a few...and have banked some but buying now at 365p.....boy....wish I'd kept all those I had at 11p to 14p....

Still think 4pm will be the decision time.,.

No stopping it....banked some too early....but a profit is a profit.....I fear a spike is coming.....

We've hit +30p last jump was in the +40's so will watch for spike if it hits around that level.

Tradibg in the 373p's,375p is a trigger for more options to the directors.

looks to have run out of steam so sliced at 366.25p. hope monday isn't a huge jump first thing.,.

Had a 372p limit sell on the system, which has now triggered. I'm out, but hope not too soon. Can't actually believe it reached my target.............!

greedily bought them all back at 371, but fortuitously even those are now in the money

Drat i was waiting to say 3hundred and EIGHTY,but it fell back.

So now i'll say it.

3 hindred and EIGHTEEEEE

Wow!

Quite incredible....sold some too early needless to say...retained the rest...could not watch this afternoon...otherwise would have bought them back....anyway...pleased still the same....

Finished well in the 390's in USA.

From the Independant.

While bid speculation was still swirling around Kurdistan-focused Gulf Keystone Petroleum, there were also vague rumours doing the rounds that the punters' favourite could soon unveil a decent oil find.

With it also being helped by the French giant Total saying it was examining "very closely" the possibility of investing in the autonomous Iraqi region, the explorer spurted up 40.25 to 382.75p, continuing a run in which its share price has doubled in little more than a month.

I am thinking 400p soon.

Yeah, but you said 6p LLOY !!! ;o)

i would like to see a professional analyst's view of the value of GKP ..... that's not to say it would be correct, but at least it would give a sensible start point

RenCap summary note:

"Gulf Keystone Petroleum (HOLD: GBP2.10, 33% downside potential). While we acknowledge that part of the 63% share run YtD is due to operational results, we believe that the majority of it is in the market’s anticipation of the sale of the company. However, the surge in the share price could have the opposite effect, in our view. The company now appears expensive to us compared with its peers and it is difficult to imagine that a potential acquirer would assign a significant additional premium to the current price. However, if the M&A does not happen for a while, we may see a downward revision in the market’s takeout premium expectations. Therefore, at these levels, we believe that the risk/reward characteristics of this M&A play are not that attractive. Other than M&A, the next big operational catalyst, in our view, is results from the Ber Bahr exploration well, expected in mid-February."

Given the strong run you would guess that BB-1 results are going to be good....... !!

good politician's article (2691), but it is a worry that the all the buying appears to be from PIs .... on the other hand, there has patently been a lack of sellers as shown by the consistent 3 or 4:1 differential between bid and offer over the last 7-10 days
