Oil and Gas

I have been a market reporter. I know how it works. Someone you know calls you with what seems like a good story. You run it. Your team is on the box that night. You file your article. Good job. But just occasionally you are being played. The question is by whom? And unless someone […]

While a premature release of a financial statement cost one firm billions worth of its market value, one development in an oil and gas company’s interest nearly missed its chance to add value to AIM-listed Solo Oil plc (LSE:SOLO). But our resident analyst at ADVFN has recommended a buy on the stock hours before the […]

Independent oil and gas explorer Sound Oil plc (LSE:SOU) has been measuring up to its name recently (I’m not exactly saying it wasn’t doing that in the past) – being sound with decisions and strategies, whether in disposing assets or securing funding for existing operations. In less than a week, the company has negotiated deals […]

Sefton (LSE:SER) groupies are terribly excited that Mohammed El Fayed has picked up 15 million shares (just over 3%) of their company. Er up to a point. And it makes no difference. The stock is worthless. My target remains 0.1p and it is a stonking short. Here is why. The shares have actually been picked […]

Solo Oil (LSE:SOLO) shares have shrugged off bearish threats and have started going up.

I have time and time again asked questions about the utterly misleading statements issued by AIM listed penny share dreadful Sefton Resources (LSE:SER) about its output in California. It seems that the company just cannot help itself because we now have proof that what it said about September data is misleading. Is it time for another […]

Oil and gas explorer Sound Oil plc (LSE:SOU) is getting out of an exploration contract in Indonesia after drilled exploration wells proved disappointing, much to the delight of the investors of the AIM-listed firm, but will still be receiving royalties should future exploration results in discovery of hydrocarbon. In a statement, Sound Oil said it […]

Leni Oil and Gas stock (LSE:LOG) is currently at a very interesting zone. The market has been in a very long-term downtrend as shown by the chart – something that would have caused losses to buyers. Negativity is essentially not a harrowing experience provided negative shares are sold; thus making huge profits for speculators. Speculation […]

Propitious conditions are currently present on Sacoil Holdings stock (LSE:SAC). A ‘buy’ signal has been generated as the price soldiers on towards the north. As far as trading is concerned, price is king. Therefore the one trait all the best traders and investors share is extreme confidence in what they are doing. This gives credence […]
