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.

lol! ..... would be happy with either going to 3.00 ..... i should live so long!

A mixture of the two sounds about right to me..exciting times....frankly it sounds too good to be true for GKP to hit a major strike...I will fall off my stool if they do !, but anyway I'm in and there will be lots more wells to be drilled.

HOIL did it why not GKP?

i haven't held HOIL that long, though i have done well enough from them.

looking back, if you managed to buy at the very bottom (150) and then sold at the very top (600), then 400% gain, though pretty unlikely you (anyone) did either

Well it's worth the risk of owning the shares that's what I think we agree on though oil is in the ground in big bubbles around those parts, it's possible that with this drilling they just miss the target...you never know for sure until the drill bit gets there so I'm prepared for disappointment.

rq think positively! they have done their homework and have already proved this resource all we need is the big bonus.

Crumbs ! halifax it's not like you to be so optimistic....perhaps there is something at the bottom of the shaft !.

rq we like what we hear all we need now is light at the end of the tunnel!

Don't forget Algeria was their big hope for a long time when they turned down a bid of 74p---Iraq was just a fancy plan! Now we have partial success, Indian T/o rumours and they've ditched Algeria like a hot potato! This gives strong indications!!!

reported GKP selling Algeria for $150m

reported by whom and when and where - and what credence should be put to that?

cynic, look on advf and 3i's board for info, it seems to be cosha. The morning's share price will tell it all.

don't belong to either of those BBs and have no wish to ..... if sp rockets, i'm delighted, but see no rns

kosher (halal to the other guys) is the word!

Nice rise...plus 3p...

Guys..have you seen the increase...gulp !....euhhh I mean Gulf....even PET is rising...

ah yes! warms the cockles of the 'eart it does guv!

Just seen this on ADV.......makes interesting reading

Algerian hopes boost Gulf

Gulf Keystone inched higher amid hopes that it was nearing an agreement to sell its Algerian assets to GDF Suez.

Gulf Keystone, which has regularly been the subject of bid speculation, faces a potential dispute with partner BG Group for suspending investment in Algeria to focus on its prospects in Kurdistan. Its shares rose 0.8 per cent to 31p.

doh! whilst a profit is a profit wish i had not sold so early been trying to get in again at say 36p but opportunities slim so far.

I'm not sure I like this rise because it means further to fall if there is nothing at the bottom....I reckon market makers are short of stock as well which is sending the sp up to try and tree shake some holders out...they will have to try much harder to get mine...

The possible assets could be company making and I am holding on, rf it appears that todays rise in the sp is attributed to the possible sale of Algerian interests, so rise away GKP.
