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.

HMS Protector reaches Antarctica, visits Uruguayan and Argentine bases
HMS Protector, the Royal Navy's new ice patrol ship, has arrived in Antarctica for the first time after her long sail south from Portsmouth. Her arrival, via Montevideo in Uruguay, coincided with the centenary of the Royal Navy's Captain Scott reaching the South Pole.

Did someone say Bann........what Bann?

“The comments follow on reports from London saying Energy Secretary Chris Huhne stated that the initial oil explorations in the waters surrounding the Falkland Islands were “disappointing,” although he indicated the course may change in the future.”

Can i just say i think Chris Huhne is a de ramper trying to drop the SP so he can entre at a lower level......lol

What a berk statement...if that is correct.....I'm telling you.....what are we governed by ?.....gaaaaaaddddd......he can't be too happy with his DES shares then !.

Good old Barclay's , sold a few of mine @350 this morning

Just shows how Huhne is a total waste of space.

Brave man aldwickk, i think a deal has been done,its just a waiting game.clip clop clip clop.

I only top sliced a few , still holding the bulk of them.

It'll be a farmin'......has to be....will be surprised with anything else...

Sticking my head out but perhaps what Huhne said is right.

If as quoted by the Press Association above he said "....Some of the initial exploration that was undertaken in territorial waters of the Falkland Islands was disappointing....." then that is the case for DES, FOGL and others. However RKH has been - and still is - a resounding success.

As for Marky's comment about wanting to lower the SP, how could he suggest such a upright Minister of the Crown would perjure himself? That would be 'pointless'

This is the trouble with things like this...."some" is very much different to "the".....I wish people would get their facts right...anyway who cares....

Views from the Trading Floor by fox davies

Rockhopper (LON:RKH) look set to try its 52 week high of 351.25p again soon, as the shares were
4% dearer in trading at 342p. All the recent takeover and partnership speculation surrounding the
disputed waters, has continued to keep investors interested in the story. We remain very bullish on
the story and as a shop we have a 600p price target.

Brazil reiterates support for Argentina, denies any blockade to the Falklands
Brazil reiterated its support for Argentina’s Malvinas Islands sovereignty claim and insisted that solving the controversy with the UK is ‘most important’ for South America’s stability. It also pointed out that it’s not correct to talk about “a blockade

Argentina condemns the UK for its ‘bullying patriotism’ in the Malvinas dispute
Argentina condemned the announcement of the arrival of state of the art HMS Dauntless, a British warship, to the Falklands/Malvinas Islands and urged the UK to “avoid falling in the temptation of engaging in discourse that transforms patriotism in bullying patriotism.”

Hmmmm....if they are not careful we will stop buying their corned beef and send Tevez back. Then they will stop bleating!

harry should i buy back in here

yes so long as you believe RKH will not remain (totally) independent for long, though GKP has arguably better chances and upside in the nearer future

Don't know T. I'm out of RKH at the mo. More of a long term play now, imo, but with huge potential if you are prepared to wait. Currently talk of t/o or farm in, but risky to buy purely on that strategy. Have made very good money here, but am always wary of becoming emotionally tied to a stock.

i dont think uk stopping buying bully beef will be enough - but i wouldnt send tevez back - that might be more than they could bear!! lol

New Highs for this year.......lets see if it breaks the £3.80p...knock knock!!
