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.

To add, as i mentioned before,a bid can come out of the blue,then it'll be to late.

agreed cyril, only a bit of leg pull.,.

Fairenough lol, here's a post by the well respected Zengas and ties in with my thoughts ,along with some unteresting about computer trading.
Off out,the dog(gracie)awaits.


The thread is running at 5-700+ posts a day. There's not much else to say that has not been said over and over. We have been in this situation before umpteen times. I'm waiting solely for the end game here now and expect a bid. We all know where GKP are at in terms of moving the Shaikan field towards development and i expect a deal of some kind to emerge soon.

An interesting piece in the Mail on Sunday ((Feb 26th) about hedge fund trading and the number of funds whose decisions are completely generated by computer with AHL being the biggest computerised hedge fund in the world - who knows what your up against in the short term though a computer can't predict what a companys' next move is (bid etc) but fwiw we've had these pull backs from highs before and i see it as all part and parcel to the end game without having to watch every single day from market open to close. I don't beleive the buying and volume that pushed us to 450p was the work of PIs.

"...........a bid can come out of the blue,then it'll be too late." And if it doesn't, the sp will drift off to it's comfort level either side of 300p.

a good politician's comment, harry ..... hedge all bets and then say "told you so" after the event

Not at all. This stock has been hyped for years on just about every discussion board going, with a fair smattering of 'experts' and is one of the few stocks, imo, where investors are in danger of believing thier own hype and the hype of others. I was just replying to Cyril's comment for balance!

exactly how a politico would respond! :-)

LOL....The epitome of diplomacy I thought! ;o)

Harry ask yourself,is their oil,how much and what's a fair value?The answers are,YES(producing 10kbopd),many billions as reported and then put a figure on what a barrel of oil's worth in the ground P(2).
We'ra soon to get an independent accessment of SH4's reserves,Tony Haywood(ex BP CEO)stated it has the potetial to be a MAJOR OIL FIELD.

hi All,
Just heard word that we are close to filling the 3rd non exec director position. No word who it is or his background from my friend just yet.

The type of thing that you believe when it happens,but ine can live in hope?

raqidinarnews.net/blog/2012/02/28/member-of-iraqs-oil-and-energy-committee-next-month-oil-and-gas-hcl-law-will-be-presented-to-parliament/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=DTN+Iraq:

traidemark its in the story on Bowleven....

Setting aside the shrill insistence in some quarters that other potential predators were circling Bowleven, the hot money instead flooded into Gulf Keystone Petroleum, 14¾p higher at 356¾p. Again, there was speculation of an imminent offer, pitched at a terrifically generous-sounding 700p a share, for the explorer focused on the Kurdish region of Iraq, purportedly from out of Hong Kong. Not for widows or orphans, this one

So the times believes it's a terrifically sounding £7 a share offer,but for who?

This from a poster who gave out info just prior to AB being announced,make of it what you will.

All im saying is forget the sp now it is going up up up long term, i happen to know one of the sons of one of the directors in gkp....... he told his own flesh and blood @400p put all you can in!! So stop worrying about day traders and let the rns's come out

Cyril, do you actually believe that? I know you want to believe it, but that could have been posted by anyone for any number of reasons!
