anyone got any ideas about the block trades that went through today?

The only reason the SP fell at the end of day on Friday was because the MM`s increased the spread which had the effect of reducing the mid price. Still strong on the offer at 32p.

Optomistic - You are being unfair to Jameel and obviously without background knowledge. Among others and for example as a knowledgeable contributor to LSE was GedW. He had the time, patience and skill to do some very thorough and unbiased research and the posted his findings. I certainly did not always agree with him, and posted accordingly. Nevertheless, his findings were nearly always worth reading and considering.

cynic, I know LSE is back up but I cant seem to log in with my email. Why is that?

LSE?

cynic, do not wish to be unfair to anyone but jameel was very pointed in his/her remark about the thread being made up of rampers. My view is defensive of the posters on here as I believe it is not so.

jameel06,

Actually I would take issue with that statement too, and agree with optomisitc, that it is not so.

I would go as far as to ask you to post some examples of "ramps" from this thread, because as far as I am concerned, I cannot recall ever reading one.

The true definition of "ramp" is of course a malicious lie to try and manipulate other thread readers into a course of action that benefits the author.

IMHO this thread has never been a rampers thread, SEY has always been a low profile stock, and continues to be so. It has contained optimistic posts, as well as the odd pessimistic one, and some light hearted banter, but never deliberate falsehoods, IMO at least.

ok, Andy, we could do without your essay-like response and gathering of legal definitions!

I have no time sit a trawl through which remark to point out to you all. SEY, is a stock I am all too familiar with and one which I actually pointed out to Cynic in December sometime on LSE!

jameel06,

"we"?

You are the only person replying, nobody else!

"I have no time sit a trawl through which remark"

So there was only one "remark" that was a ramp, on a thrread of 5900 posts, so it's hardly a concerted effort then!

Shame you didn't recommend the stock to cynic a couple of years ago when it was under 10p, when people like myself bought in, adding along the way as the price has gently risen.

The next potential SEY is about to commence trading on AIM, Concorde Oil and Gas, check it out, same small beginnings as SEY, same top quality management as SEY (IMO), and massive potential to emulate SEY and reward over time, all iMHO of course.

Ramp over!

Cynic would not have bought SEY a couple of years ago!
As I posted somewhere else here, but can't rememeber where, I am more than happy to let others get in on the ground floor of newcos and similar ...... Though i may miss the early profits on some, I feel I am more likely to avoid the stinkers by getting in later, as I did with VOG and EME and perhaps here

jamel06,

This is a long running thread wth good discussion, and you're labelling posters here as 'rampers' is offensive and without foundation.

When challenged, you cannot produce a single ramp.

if you want to discuss sterling fine, otherwise leave the adults alone and b*gger off back to the lSE where clearly such behaviour must be the order of the day.

Cool down guys ...... handbags not required at dawn or any other time ... lol!

Oh, abit of excitement creepingin . Share trader and Adam, it seems you both have had a bad day its either the other half or sp performance last week? Which one? Now be honest?

jameel, after post 5912 I am convinced you would be much happier at the LSE.

Jameel ... you are heading for a smacked bottom (lol), so just behave yourself

cynic,

"Cynic would not have bought SEY a couple of years ago!"

I can understand why, and I have changed my strategy to buying either producers with exploration potential, or near producers, preferably with same.

Two years ago SEy were a producer, and Chinguetti was a long way off over the horizon. It could be argued that I could hve invested elsewhere whilst SEY moved up and down within the 12p - 20p trading range.

The reason I stayed with SEY is my belief in their management quality, and the tax advantage BATR brings after two years of holding an AIM stock.

The reason I like Concorde, is for the same reasons, and they will become a producer, albeit in a small way, as soon as the Pechora Energy purchase is complete.

As my junior companies become larger, I have to plant a few seeds, and CDE is my next one, I see it as SEY four years ago, but I have a feeling they will grow quicker.

SEY 1 by Christmas. How's that for a ramp? What a load of old tosh jameel, ease up. Where's deadfred when you need him? He'll sort you out.

Andy,
If you are into tiddlers with potential and you don't mind having a go at Ofex stocks, take a look at HEP. I bought in a few at 7p, and they are now 13p if you want any. EPG their larger Australian partner will list on Aim this year. Their price now, is such that HEP could almost treble and not look expensive in comparison.

Pond Life,

thanks, I will do.

Funny you should say that, I was at Oilbarrel last week, and EPG presented!

I agree, that the CBM project in france looks good

pond life, thanks i will look into epg and hep!

Cynic, I would luv to volunteer for the bum smacking. a bit hard to start off with and then by all means gentle ones to finish would do me just fine..lol

I fear you ain't pretty enough for my attentions Jameel.
