Rockhopper was established in 2004 with a strategy to invest in and undertake an offshore oil exploration programme in the North Falkland Basin. It was floated on AIM in August 2005. Rockhopper was the first company to make a commercial oil discovery in the Falklands. Today Rockhopper is the largest acreage holder in the North Falkland Basin, with interests in the Greater Mediterranean region.

No.....just before closing last night...came in 475...going long....thought it might drop to 450p.....wished I'd waited.....just my guessing was right.... not my investing....if it carries on up tomorrow...I'll be pleased....

guessing is easy - there's never any pain attaching!

Like a virtual portfollio...no emotion or real money to lose and the decisions are easy.

Greekman - perhaps FSA could save some time. As I suspect they'd be better looking for deals that are entirely without inside knowledge.

"insider"......what exactly does it cover? It would be easy enough if it applied to Directors/execs/employees working in a Co that is about to do a deal (or whose Results are out soon). But what of their partners/spouces/friends etc.

I believe it is easy to spot by looking at deals larger than (Say10k) within 7-days of a sp rising more than 20%, 20k within 5-days and . . . . .

But what do others think?

10k????????????
haven't you omitted at least one 0??????????

10k is serious peanuts, if that isn't too bad an oxymoron

Anybody going to the AGM tomorrow ?.....bring back some nibbles and a few bottles of bubbly...or is that not what they are about ?,.... these do's ?...

Note the venue change to accommodate the larger than expected number attending.

Hangon,

Agree that insider dealing is difficult to fully define.
If you go out to 'Do' insider dealing you should get what you deserve, but if you are told some info in a sort of general chat way, that should not have happened it must be very tempting to act on it. For example....If you had a relative who works for a company in a position of authority, that you held shares in and they let it slip that the company was in difficulties and was about to go under, would you calmly just sit on your holding till it became an official announcement, or sell asap.
I know what I would do.

.

Mnamreh,

Totally agree. What I am mainly saying is that I would not go out intentionally to gain info, but I put it to you, if you were in a position where you were inadvertently given inside info to a situation in a company that you had say an investment of 10,000 and that info indicated strongly that if you sat tight you would likely loose the lot, would you act or not.
I am just trying to be honest, by saying I would probably (OK almost certainly) act on the info I had.
I see a huge difference in coming by insider info be default to by intention.

.

well i'm honest enough to say "of course i'ld act" ..... and when is inside info inside info? - e.g. what if you overhear something in a restaurant or a train or similar? ..... that is far removed from actively seeking confidential info

we all bend ears to get ahead.....level 2 looking for another step up

Glad I held my nerve & didn't sell at the bottom of the dip. Presumably this level (480-490) shows fair value atm?

I should hear news just after AGM tom......lots of news to come......wish they would hurry up with news on the upgrades of Sea Lion.

Well the meeting is underway .....Waiting for news..... nothing on Twitter like Unite union meetings!!!
sp dropping away and some mediocre mutterings on Sharecast

"There will no doubt be a lot of back slapping at Rockhopper Exploration's annual meeting later today as shareholders hear how the group's stock has put on a remarkable 786.9 per cent in the last 6 months. But Rockhopper is still a small cap and will attract a disproportionate number of naysayers as a result. Hold, says the Independent."

The last bit will please Pros!

Result of AGM

Calm down everyone this is my share of the year.

given by non-reaction of sp and no comment here either, i assume agm was a bit of a damp quib

.

They always are....waste of time going to them (not that I've ever been to any, just guessing).....the news is never then, they only talk about what has been....it's the rns's to come that should be interesting....
