Morning Folks,

Not posted before but I’ve been lurking in the shadows watching and reading all the posts for quite a while. For the avoidance of doubt I am a holder.

I worked in the City in M&A in the 90s and noughties and so have a little experience with this kind of activity. I realise I am stating the bl**ding obvious with what I will say but the sole purpose of this post is to promote thought and consideration by shareholders before giving up their valuable ‘vote’. I use the word vote purposely !!

I truly believe we are being watched not just by Exxon or Sinopec but by a number of predators and they’re each just watching and waiting for the other to blink. By blink I mean make the first move by way of an offer and I fully expect that offer to come imminently.

First mover has the advantage of weeding out weak holders who do not understand the true intrinsic value of the company in which they are ‘voters’. If they weed out enough’weeds’ then they will build a significant enough position that their offer will be railroaded through. However, if they don’t, whilst their offer still stands, they are then out of the game for a period of time and leave the way open for ANO to make another offer and give that new bidder chance to collect enough ‘votes’. This process continues until the magic 50.01% of votes are collected !!

Remember the rules and regulations of a bid (and I enclose the link for those that are struggling to sleep at the moment – http://www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/code.pdf ). These are appropriate to AIM too. Once a bid is made public, the bidder must honour their bid !! Have confidence in the fact that once a bid is made that price as a minimum is yours - it’s simply a matter of time as to when you get it !! It can only go up from that point. Be patient – Warren Buffet’s mantle of the stock exchange being a mechanism for transferring wealth from the impatient to the patient is so very apparent in this situation.

Todd is only too aware of this situation hence the call to arms of the PIs in Sunday’s press article and backed up deafeningly with the RNS yesterday which was so very important because of what it didn’t say rather than what it did.

You invested in your company with Todd and his merry men at the helm – have the confidence in them to lead and advise you now. They will tell you when they feel the time is right to accept a bid. Until that time hold onto your ‘votes’ with every bodily part you have and with all the strength you can muster. I believe that if we stick together and all do this then we are in for life changing returns !!

Yours with great expectations

Saes

Whats Fair Value

I would put my hand on my heart and say this.

BBB's as gone to painstaking lengths and time consuming work to lay it out for Pi's free of charge. Pitts as posted for a long time on key points and has as good as knowledge of Gulf Keystone as anyone can having been invested many many years.
GRH1 as put up images , laid posts such as Shock and Awe. the Prize.
Dalesmann continues to bring to the table is indepth research and figures weekly.
Scara lays eveything out and backs it up with thorough research.
Zengas as shown every major take over and how its derived at .

Read leesllibob post of last night- here we have someone on the ground- who knows.

Anyone doubting BBB's figures must want sending to the funny farm. BBB's work as many top oil execs purring in awe of his superior knowledge and they only wish they had such experience on their side.

Now you can trust these posters who always bring the goddies to the table and say simply this. No No No we want fair value, as we have been here since the start and the Johhny come lately's can not be allowed to see us short in search of a quick buck, the KRG risk damaging their Oil economy if they short change and shaft Pi's who are invested in Gulf Keystone Petroleum just to get thier preferred company taking over Shaikan

I think the above is compelling evidence to hold out for a minimum £17.00 per share.

Their are Majors with big wallets who want a shot, and the Chinese, its just a matter of telling the KRG you can move the goal posts around to suit who you want. I say TK get the news out on Shaikan 4 and other news, sod the consequences as their is nothing to lose

OH YES...back in at 398p, more shares and profit.,.

God bless Cannacord starting GKP coverage as a SELL with target of 210!!
someone has had got it badly wrong - us or CA?

muppet has bought a few more at 401.5

Waiting for it to settle down first,before deciding? The oil still their and as John G stated at the NY presentaion,"worth double(280p)on on what we know". thought it might run up until at least the BB news tomorrow,BWDIK?

a most uncomfortable day it must be said ..... very glad i have traded this along the way so at least i haver banked lots of profit even if the current profit position is considerably shrivelled

.

450 soon

Back from walking the dog,glad to see it settle down,considering my options?

Glad, as I posted on here, I sold all my last GKP on the spike to 450p.

Well done Proselenes, I was tempted to do the same. What a difference a day makes!

grevis, there is so much hot money in this and all on no news.

BB-1 has to be very good news now to support the big rise, if BB-1 is just ok news now it might provoke the hot money to pile out.

Do not forget, the GENL presentation is tomorrow - what is in it could really move this price down or up - who knows what ?

what a clever chap you are MrP .... always and unerringly manage to sell at the top and usually buy at the bottom ..... how come you aren't a multi-billionaire?

Green eyes Mr Cynic.

When I sold and posted so you mentioned nothing but dreamed of higher prices.

Now its fallen back you have a green eye induced little dig ;) LOL

indeed, and i know you posted as much ..... happy to confess i have been too greedy, even though if i cash in all my current holding GKP i will have banked a thumping profit with even a modest overall profit on the current

have been a sensible chap and bitten the bullet with 50% ...... still somewhat o'weight, but no longer stupidly so

Lots of buying yet the price has dropped again. Maybe a big seller in the background?
