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.

your call, but sorry to say sounds as though you load an awful lot of eggs into too few baskets ..... you happen to have called gold correctly (eventually), but i am sure that, like the rest of us, you have bought into some real stinkers ..... HAWK is not (necessarily) one of those

just for the record, i can't remember if i cashed in any of my modest HAWK holding at/near top, but certainly bought back in, again modestly, as i consider these minnow E&P stocks to be very high risk, with just the odd one coming good.

if i do not allow myself to get stupidly greedy, i remember the truism that no one ever went broke banking a profit ...... hence recently anmd tastily in/out the likes of PCI and MXP and even some of the much bigger fish like PMO and PRU

HAWK market cap 60m revenue 318k no wonder the market is unimpressed!

thanks halifax ..... i know i am very thick sometimes, and certainly very annoying to some, but am glad my initial gut reaction was not wrong, even if not for exactly the right reasons

I switched most of my holding into Afren.....lucky I did....still hold a position in HAWK....wish it would climb further !.

think long term holders will do well on this one. Bought CLF @ .1095 p few months back, got out at .545p. Fallen back from highs, mkt in general will fall after this short term bounce, people will invest in Gold again.....BUY clf at mid 30's.

just looked at CLF chart and it is far from inspiring

very quiet in here today ..... perhaps gnash* is gnashing his teeth in realisation that the figures and prospects were pretty average at best

no cynic, just wondering when to exit my AFR punt of today, HAWK will have its day sooner than you think don't panic. AFR was quite crap just a few days ago, now look, you get the message.
Post 888 - I like that.

required field, I'm out of AFR smell a rat.
HAWK cranking up nice and steady for April, lovely.

i concur about AFR ..... really don't feel comfortable with delayed results, though after friday's very strong drilling update, bad news with the figures just a day or two later ought to be inconceivable ..... even so, it is very bad form of AFR not to make a formal statement about the delayed figures.

All the EBOK gains have just gone up in smoke it's madness and now't much left to reflate it, plus as I said I smell a rat, there seems to be a problem that they don't know how to present right. Lost most of my short gains punting AFR past few days but no overall loss as such. HAWK not looked so strong for a while now, about time.

HAWK - indeed, though i see no real reason other than "more buyers than sellers"!

A BUy today.

Interest picking up today, any more city rumours?

No rumours silver, just awareness that the partial sale, which my take is will be nearer the better acreage figures, is due any day in April. Of course that could go on a few days, but, not much else out there with quite the same short term upside imho. The Jolly Ranch Project was slightly under-estimated, I really think it has been, up to now. Bigg'ish buys suggest good turn of sentiment on that, rather than any news leak as such, or, quite possible HAWK is seen as the perfect T20 at the mo' all considered.

Think I was still right about AFR too, jeez.

Something IS going on...

All eyes on the actual sale figures, up to 2 weeks away that's all. Wouldn't surprise me if they release the figures a bit earlier.
