Either way mickey and his moles credibility appear to be shot so I doubt we will get any more posting from him. Perhaps it was was sting operation; different people suspected of being 'the mole' were fed different information in confidence. The false news that surfaces points the finger at the individual passing on company secrets. As we speak the well intentioned tea lady is being beaten in the Royal dungeon for her crimes and mickey is about to be piled into the back of a black van and wisked away to a private jet to face his punishment in the desert.
Just bought my last batch, now have just over 100,000 shares, fingers crossed and good luck everyone.
So much for go slow, we are ahead of schedule. Thank God for no accidents etc. Fingers crossed for good wirelogging etc.
Sorry mickey we wrote at the same time, what exactly did your contact say?
Mickeys comments didn't tell us anything, perhaps the geology is out by a 100 Metres and they are on a go slow to find the top of the reservoir, perhaps they are drilling through gold or diamonds, who knows, need a lot more info than samples aren't as anticipated. That is a neutral statment without more information, so what is the point of posting it and not responding to questions? Hate to think a poster would be using their influence to try and install doubt to get the price lower now that the share price seems to be bottoming out. Most of us realise gas or not we are underpinned higher with the discovery and assets. Perhaps we should have sold on seismics, we all took that gamble and we aren't even a drill into a 3 drill campaign. Hold strong and pray.
I make next Wednesday the guided minimum time from start to target depth. So sometime soon after next Wednesday we will all get that rns that will no doubt not say what we want but will say enough to fray our nerves. The rig will move to te10 and we will go on asking questions. What we will know is if there is gas what we may not know is how commercial, but I'm betting if the gas is there, it will be plenty commercial. Time ticking away, not much time left to be out or in, and at these prices in has to be the sensible option.
I make it 9 days to total depth according to the original guidance. Sometime over the next month we will all have our answer. Good luck all invested.
Just bought another 1000 pounds worth. I really must stop now!
Can't by without going through negotiated order on halifax
The company notes the share price and knows no reason for the fall. How low will we be when news arrives.
Im amazed anyone is selling at this stage in the game, I wonder what the reasons could be? Cant be traders as the price has fallen, crazy to derisk so low and with news potentially days away. Anyone sold and want to enlightened me? Personally I wish I could buy more but I have a heavy part of my pf here already.
I assume it is 7 to 10 from the date of the email. However I agree its poor wording as we have come to expect from sefton as he says 7 to 10 days delay, which implys from when the drill stopped turning.
Irish and Barking. May be worth an email to sefton but It was pointed out to me that changing seals etc as indicated in the last podcast, would add a few days to the timeline. Changing the seals was the right thing to do, but for that reason I don't believe we will be in r1/r2 until Thursday onwards but that's a guess. With confirming releases with gov etc it wouldn't surprise me not to see news until next week, Monday or Tuesday, after all this is aaog we are talking about. We have waited a year, whats another week. Don't want people to think theres an issue when we haven't got to the zones yet, slow and steady wins the race.
Irish, the geology and we will be winners. Honestly I think sefton should be put out to parsture or go and manage a mcdonalds or something, or even pay for a dedicated pr man or lady. I dread thr thought of him speaking on our behalf. Oil will come though and it will be plentiful.
Personally I don't think first results are priced in. Pis are so fed up with delays and bs from the Bod, after all we are a full year behind the initial spud and results which was meant to happen by September 2017. Recent mismanagement of good pr opportunities makes people disbelieve anything good can happen with aaog. HOWEVER! We are now drilling in an optimal location with one of the best drilling companies in the world, in a prolific and producing oil area with the first 2 zones relatively high cos and still with a low market cap. At this price it is a SCREAMING buy. Once good news starts, and it will, the bad news stream will be broken and pi's will take notice. The potential here is huge and for long termers like me, the dividends will pay for all my future aim adventures.
Do we think we will get news as we go, or just at total depth as the Rns suggests. I am expecting some news of shows in the tagi.
Rns reads as if there is only 2 casing points before tagi. Place your bets ladies and gents. In or out.
Yes share price is disappointing Marineville but we know why, a year of broken promises and crap coms, and the poor recent news Re debt etc. R1 expected to deliver, when it does price should twitch, when mengo delivers, we should see some action. R1 news Thursday / Friday now I think on reflection. Give sefton et al time to get permission from gov and get their act together. Have a good weekend.
Thats it, I'm locked and loaded for a Monday rns saying through r1/2 with expected hydrocarbon shows and on route to mengo. Going to be an exciting weekend. Good luck all.
Tick tock, going on guidance I make it around 19 days to first zone. The suspense is killing.
