2005 Preliminary Results

All good stuff, but I can't find anything new to set the pulse racing. I am somewhat surprised to see the shares trading so strongly, having been as high as 29p. Someone must be soaking up all the sells.

Interesting practice! Share price should move inline with oil price 75 IMO

Now trading well down on the day. Not really that surprised. Good trading opportunity for those that were savvy enough to sell out at around 28p. Ho humm.... they will look cheap in 6 months time.

i sold today see if can get back at 24.5,thought we would haVe more wow to result.

I have dropped the ball today too.

I always said I would give it till these results so now is the time.

I will now wait for the first cheque to be paid to Sterling by the Mauritanian Governemnt, and then I may consider buying again.

guys...i ducked out of 3/4 of my holding...into PANR. Managed to get a decent whack at the allocation at 100p. This stock had LEGS and is a little more interesting that SEY right now!

PANR...check it out!

Ramper.........

lol

so sue me!

Good old SEY - what a day! Price remains unchanged on >20m trades of which the largest (>10k) were 75% buys. What more can a chap do to make this shift northwards?

Don't blame SWW and PT for quitting out of sheer frustration, not to mention boredom.

The posts on this site can be excellent.

I agree with seawallwalker, RE: lol

Is there not a PANR thread ? The reasons for having a look are a bit vague.

I hold SEY
Reasons: An exploration and producing company, announcing increases in profits - lots of potential for even more growth. Tipped recently by Jim Slater. This is one of the oil companies which I hold and do not feel nervous about.

Besides buy on rumour, sell on news theory, I do not think today was the right time for me to sell.

Good luck to all SEY holders long term - I am in for the long haul.

Johne1 we have been there and done that................... it seems a lifetime ago.

Not saying it's not gone up in the meantime, but it cetrtainly has not kept up with it's peers.

I have pulled out to have a think, and check that I am not really in lve with this stock.

Checking how many times I have bought, topped up and sold outside the core, I begin to think so.

I'm looking around thats all.

Meantime, I am waiting to see that all is as it seems before I fall back in love, provided the Missus(Sterling), will have me back of course.

prop start a thread and I may buy one share just to say I have one!

i have started a thread under PANR

barely anyone joined in so i have contributed on advfn for the first time...sorry guys but they are ALL OVER PANR over there...
