I feel love............

SWW,

I feel a breakout!

The chart is starting to look very positive, and I think the market is now taking notice of the increased production of nearly 30%, and the increased value of the $ v , which is also positive for JKX's revenues.

I am doing some homework on these at the mo..........

Could well be right Andy, certainly in unchartered territory at the mo.

SWW,

Up 4p today so far now.

my last top up was certainly looks to have been timely! (touchwood!)

Erm...........

Just come in.

Oh well, there will no doubt be another along in a minute.

SWW,

I gather you must still be out of JKX, sorry if you are.


If it's any consolation (and it probably isn't!), I was going to buy VPC this morning, but couldn't decide whether to buy or S/B. Watched the price go up, went out hoping for a dip, and came back to a higher price, so missed it!

I'm absolutely astonished that nobody seems to have noticed JKX' recent rise, it went up 16p, or 8% today!

We have a breakout from the 130 - 150 trading range, and are now close to 200p!

I think this is down to the market finally realising the significance of the recent announcement on M152, and JKX have M151 to announce any time.

An absolutely splendid day Andy. Where to now I wonder?

Erm.

I noticed............

You were spot on Andy.

God bless all here.

SWW, queen1,

Well we made 200p, can we hold or increase on Monday?

Good weekend to all.

Up, up and away! Hold onto your hats, bring the extra oxygen, we're going climbing!

(Investor note - stocks can go down as well as up, please seek the advice of a professional before committing your life savings...)

queen1,

Wise words!

Indeed...

Have you noticed that JKX seems to be off the radar of Shares Magazine? The sp has been hitting new highs for a number of weeks now but has not appeared in the 52-Week Highs section of the magazine. They do get a mention from time-to-time in the Prospector section but you'd think with a sp performance like this there'd be more coverage.

queen1,

Yes I agree, but maybe that is because they are ocasionally mentioning JKX in the Prospector's section?

I agree that JKX should be featured, but I think Shares only work with certain PR companies and brokers, and mainly feature their client's shares, and ignore most of the others.

Shares certainly seems to ignore some of the better shares, which questions their impartiality IMO.

Plaudits to Archer1415 on the other side.

Andy, what's going on with JKX these last few days? It appears to have reached the dizzy heights of 2 and then fallen off a cliff, even though the news is still full of oil price rises etc. Must confess to getting a bit nervous on these now...

queen1,

No idea I'm afraid, no negative news that I'm aware of.

I will post if I hear anything, but some of the oilies have had a poor couple of days, VPC and edr for example

Hmm, maybe sectoral. I hope so as I don't want to sell these babies but am starting to think about it.

Evening Andy and all

Bought into JKX two week ago when SEY looked dodgy. Just thought I would say hello.

looking for a long term hold

regards

Well Peoples, the plain fact is that all oil stocks will move in line with oil futures, unless there is something that comes along to deflect them up or down in the opposite direction to the flow, like striking oil, or finding water, or a Coup, heck I forgot a shorting campaign!

Bearing in mind that these high prices have been a phenomenon, and it is not known by anyone if they are really here to stay, the best thing may be to decide when the oil spike has run out of steam and sell with a view to buying back in later.

Remember OPEC like $45 and will move production around to hold that price from now on barring a recession!

FWIW I dont think we are at the top yet, there may be some months left in it, but I have sliced off the tops of my stocks leaving some in cash for the time being.

I dont like the look of my regulars in retail, and banks look like the are soft at the moment.

What's this got to with JKX?

Not a lot, but it does not hurt to air some views.

Whether to sell these must depend on how much you have tied in, how much you have made, and if you can afford to let them ride in the longer term allowing that profit to flucuate in the mean time.

As you know, I did not wait and took instant profit or so it seemed, but that worked for me and may not for you.

Good luck with any decision queen1.

In the mean time if the price drops back to a silly level, I will look to buy back in, if it does not, then I wont.
