As this EPIC opens on AIM today anything could happen. On the one hand you have traders trying to cash in a sixfold profit. You will also have a clambering of traders after shares because, firstly they could only get 75% of their allocation because of demand. Secondly at 25p this company is still way under valued.

Good call, my sentiments entirely, so here's to HAWK. Cheers!

Oilbarrel.com strongly tipping Hawk with an excellent write-up (free registration site)

Couple of other sites too rating a buy - did you see the ShareCrazy video tip? Hear the response to the (imho) bizarre Telegraph sell advice LOL "..the git at the Telegraph" indeed -and also a "dimbo" by another tipster's response LOL

Also favourably tipped by HArgreaves Lands today (I'm not a client)

Strong ShareCrazy tip now too.

As McCrirrick would say, GET ON!!

Good luck those invested, time for some smiles at last very soon. How's the sun cynic?

gnashlevel2 thanks for the ramp but how much is 20% of Jolly Ranch worth- why the delay in telling us?

Who knows? But given the Cisco project alone is worth more than the meerkat cap I am happy enough to keep adding. Ramp? Me? Deramp? You?

I used to like this share but what worries me now is the valuation : 100 million with only 1000 barrels per day.....when compared to Afren it is starting to look paltry with a market cap of 180 million....AFR drill a well they will get 10000 barrels per day, HAWK drill they get 100.

rf so how much is 20% of Jolly Ranch worth don't keep us in suspense.

Oh crumbs !, now you're asking...my calculations are pretty rough....no idea !.

So why is Hawk currently doing way better than AFR?

Yes, that's right, some people do their homework rf, which your reply shows you have not.

AFR will climb...as long as crude doesn't drop....HAWK is on the rise but I'm not so convinced as a few years ago : I mean do you think that this is worth 100 million pounds ?, the sp might carry on rising but watch out for sudden shorters like EK possibly waiting in the wings !.

rf...that's 3 posts of tosh mate! Your are out of Hawk fine, but make an effort for your deramps, you'll be warning us about demons next. Have a good weekend. ;-)

If it keeps on climbing I might come back in....we are all in the same boat here....it's just that Money Am valuation....that's probably the total value of what's in the ground (if you're lucky) , now if you value what Heritage or Afren have : there is no contest !.

A nice rise here today upto 46p i am hoping these will break 60p
sooner than later.

rf ..... i happen to hold both AFR and HAWK (been out and now back in) ...... i think you're absolutely right and at least AFR look to have found a bonanza, whereas HAWK only has the odd tin-can-full

and before others ask, i am in HAWK because sp is rising which, like it or not, is as good a reason as any

independent had article today.......sounds very promising but no details as such

loaded to the gunnels on this. expect news soon

The problem with this stock is acreage......who gives a damn about whether it's 10000 acres or 100000 acres ?, it's what's in the ground !, I'd be happy with 2 square km as long as there is 100 million barrels below.....they seem to have vast lands (better for cattle or buffalo) with a scraping of oil below....50 or 100 barrels per well, now this might be profitable but pales in significance compared to other companies...I was expecting around 5000 per day by now with 10000 exit December....I'm now a long way from being convinced....perhaps Halifax was right a few months ago.....anyway the sp seems to want to rise so that's good news to holders but be prepared for a spike followed by serious shorting...!.

PS : I'll have to get a copy of that film "There will be blood"....same part of the world nearly ...about oil with Daniel Day Lewis (what an Actor by the way ! ).

DB hates shorters by the way and intends to have last laugh........he holds the cards remember!!

halifax right! lol, dream on as the poor guy doesnt know anything

oil in short term going up to 75$ or thereabouts

Hello to the sceptical mugs who didn't listen. This hasn't even started.
cynic, in a few months that 'odd tin-can-full' of oil is going to come back to haunt you.
