Good news on the Desire front, gotta say I am glad you posted about it just so I can have a little chuckle at all these straight faced news reports about drilling rachel and liz.

Anyway, I have a few stocks that I wanted to ask for general opinions on. All of these I bought a while ago because I thought they were good companies with good prospects and (most importantly at the time) little debt. Now they have all risen by roughly 50% and I was wondering whether people know much about them and if so do they think they are a hold or a sell at their current prices? The companies are: CRDA, GKN, SNR, SPT.

Rachel might have been oily at some point, but she's dried up. They're going to drill Dawn and Jacinta (at the same time!), but now they know Rachel has dried up, they're less sure that Dawn/Jacinta will prove oily enough.

If you sold last week at 160p, well done.

I am pretty shocked that they are still worth £250m to be honest.   It is starting to get a bit farcical.

Pure awesomeness.

On to the next.

I want to buy some shares in Xcite Energy Ltd, I cant do this through my HSBC InvestDirect account, anyone got any tips on other accounts that will, dont charge a huge amount and are easy to set up?

[Doobs]

I use idealing.  It is about a tenner a trade and you pay £5 a quarter per quarter per account.

It does the job and is all online.  If it is on AIM you can't put it an ISA.  It will probably take a few days to get an account and get it funded, whcih may be too late?

BTW that company just looks so full of fail.

The name begins with the letter X.  I want the people to run companies I invest in to not go in for this kind of deliberate misspelling nonsense.  I have no stats on this, but I would be prepared to pace a large wager that companies beginning with X underperform long term.

Even if the name was spelt correctly, the name for the company smacks of marketing.  I want companies that rely on profits and stuff like that to make me want to buy the shares and not some naming gimmick.

But they are obviously much more likely to produce commercial oil than desire.

It is AIM listed tinpot.

Desire Petroleum (LSE: DES.L - news) , the oil and gas company focused on the North Falkland Basin, tanked again as it indicated that its 25/5-1 well on the Dawn/Jacinta prospect has reached a depth of 1,313m, but had found nothing yet.

The well will now be drilled to the planned total depth around 1,670 metres to evaluate the deeper Dawn Prospect, Desire said.

The group's share price has bounced around like a yo-yo recently following a series of comments from the oil explorer,

Earlier this month, the shares shot ahead after it announced an oil find at its Rachel prospect in the Falklands, only to crash back down again four days later as it then abandoned the well. Desire said that subsequent sampling showed the hydrocarbons were residual and that the mobile fluid it found was water.

It is a shame the discussion drys up whenever the share price falls.  It is pretty typical of share price bulletin boards.  When share prices rise rapidly everybody gets excited and loads of people tip them up, when prices fall everyone goes quiet and loses interest. 

Which is pretty much ar se about face if you are thinking about buying shares...of course shares often tank for a reason, and this really isn't a recomendation to buy Desire. 

and BTW, did you ever get the account to buy xcite?

where are all the fan boys?

[treefella]

I read that Rockhopper had announced a  'strike ' down in the Falklands and their shareprice went up 33% yesterday . Does anyone know of the implications for Desire ? i see that their share price has dropped dramatically in recent months.

[skolsuper]

Rampy means the price is been driven more by talk on bulletin boards than any real news. 

If you look back, when Rockhopper announced their news on the falkland drill success, you could buy desire shares for 50p.  Now nothing has really changed and Desire shares were 160p on Friday.  I bought at 50p, I would want something a bit more in the way of news to pay 160p.

FWIW Lots of rokers recommending a share is rarely a good buy signal in my view. 

Clearly, from that statement, you don't understand the Falklands islands drilling campaign!!

"now nothing has really changed"? are you in the real world?

you brought at 50p? you would want something a bit more in way of news to pay £1.60?? I brought in at 117 on Wednesday/Thurs 12,500 shares. Because quite a bit has changed, I originally got in at 19p/25p/37p and 45p, I also brought in at 85p, 127p and now 117p! and this is because I have good information available to me, and also done my own research!

I'm assuming from that statement you just made, that you're not really well educated with oil drilling and risk/de risk. you couldn't have been further from the fact when you said nothing has changed. Everything has changed!!!!  You take a look at the COS (chance of success) of Desires next well (rachel) because of the North, North East basin has been significantly de-risked due to sea lion.

Then compare it to the COS of other oil drilling campaigns around the world and the potential of DESIRES share price compared to those others. Also take into consideration that desire  have 4 drills on the spin and will not have to go back to the city for funding, share dilution to pay for this, due to the farm in agreement with Arcadia (one of the best ever made in an oil drilling campaign on the back of no results).

Woodsey, pm me for any further info or questions. I'll prob leave it there on this post!  I dot ramp, you'll find those on sites like iii.com and ftse / lse forums. Not on Poker community forums!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think share rampers/de rampers have got that desperate yet where they have to turn to poker forums to effect the price of their shares!!!! LOL

by all means anyone message me for more information!

DES now 17.5p, will pass on that invitation for more info ty

I know a fair few that made a chunk, none of them sold at peak though.

As your gloating have you got any tips?

Yeah I know how it looks, tanked before posting, don't mean to gloat but was annoyed that someone with so little of a clue came on posting "investment advice". Maybe am aftertiming and it really was just a flip that lost, but it doesn't look like it imo. I do have some shares of my own, but no special info and not enough of a clue to tell other people to get on.
