soul* - unlike many other companies, even CHP and especially ELP(!), VOG has actually proven its assets. On that basis, surely it ceases to be a blue sky company and enters the world of reality

I thought proof was still ongoing - last RNS mentioned the geological probability of success of the drilling.

I may well be wrong, but I am under the strong impression that not only have they found very significant quantities of gas, but the last report (Well 106?) legitimately increased the reserves 3-fold from memory ..... It was on the back of that the price then went to 260 with a couple of analysts upgrading fair value to 330 ...... Reports from further test wells (103 and 104-bis) are expected shortly.

these are getting battered atm. wasn't going to buy these but seriously thinking about it didn't think it would see these levels again?. any thoughts why?

No fundamental changes as far as I'm aware, but the market doesn't like any risk at the moment, so your being offered them cheap. Of course cheap is only a measure of previous prices, not future ones........ Personally I would avoid buying anything that "seems" cheap at the moment. With so much volatility around, you could get some very nasty surprises! I'm 100% cash at the moment, and I've been tempted a few times to buy back some of my "former darling" stocks, but when I come back a few days later, I've seen them down even further. Prices are at least as much about confidence as fundamentals.

Maybe I will follow u, Strawbs, being 100% cash. Very tempting at this stage.

Everyones choice is a personal one. I didn't want (couldn't afford) to loose the profit's I'd built up. I was also worried that other people might feel the same......especially if things got worse!


Strawbs.

anyone in goo?. interesting few months ahead.

Strawbs talks sense, though I confess to still being quite heavily invested.

Lizard ... I for one hod GOO as do a number of other "friends" here ...... There is a current thread on this stock

Cynic,

First time anyone's said I talk sense.... :-)

Slightly off topic: I've been playing with a demo CFD service for the last few days. Mainly to see if I'd be any good at trading (as oppossed to investing). God it's scary. How do you guys make any money. I've lost about 45% of the "pretend" cash in 2 days. Suppose I wouldn't be that reckless with my own cash, but easy to get carried away. Back on topic. It just compounds my fears of what could go wrong if people are trading with big losses on these margin products, and the rug suddenly gets pulled out.......

Strawbs.

Strawbs,

I have never CFD'd, but have been thinking about the principles recently. It strikes me one is better served CFD'ing when market conditions are stable and you can be more or less certain of the direction in which an SP is likely to head. Just as with short-term trading ordinary shares, in other words.

Soul Traders,

I think you're right. It's the first time I've tried using them, and it'll be the last. I don't know if spread bets are any safer (I've never used them either), but I'm sure these geared products are influencing market volatility, one way or another. I suppose with the correct training both could be used safely, but still too scary for me.

Strawbs.

Spread bets are like firearms, Strawbs - extremely dangerous in the wrong hands!

I would consider CFD'ing, but spread-betting could result in lots of tears. I can still imagine situations in which they could work for me, but one would have to be very prudent about their use.

You are right re market volatility - I read an article this week in which it was mentioned that these products exacerbate the kind of swings we have seen recently on the markets, although by how much I cannot remember.

Soul,

I was starting to look at both, from the point of view of being able to short, as that's my inclination at present. Spread bets are at least tax free, and on the surface seem to be no less risky than CFD's. Not sure I'm cut out to be a trader though, so unless I can find one that's virtually risk free (e.g. you can only lose what you have on account, and not be liable for potentially spiralling debts), I think I'll give them both a miss.

Strawbs.

Set my stop loss at 150p, who knows were this is going, think ive been very sloppy recently i think you call it greed. but hey its experience.

I think what vog needs an rns concerning reserves and not estimates this would at least stabilise the spread and bring more value to the company.

I feel better know having made this decission , will it get to 150p i dont know but if it does am out.

goood luck to all those who hold.

Strawbs .... I think the gearing on CFDs and spreads is similar ..... Insofar as I ever manage to make money (I do sometimes!), it is because I can watch throughout the day ... I also have a good guide at IG who also manage a small discretionary portfolio for me ..... Trading at the moment is certainly pretty scary it has to be said!

Btw, keep your fingers crossed as Dow has now gone back through 11100 mark and holding, after an earlier low of close to 11000

Unfortunately we should have set our shorts between 220-250 last week!

Lots of us should know better, but we never learn!!!

I issed the last bit of trading, but assume there was no logic behind the fall in VOG - e.g. no RNS that I missed or similar

i would be more concerned if vog were falling in a rising mkt, as it is not i'm not that bothered medium term.

as i mentioned elsewhere, trading this week was going to be peculiar anyway as B/H tomorrow and de facto on Friday and B/H UK and US on Monday
