Why waste valuable time by taking any notice of sadistic words written by Izsaponzi.. he is clearly a sad fool that can’t stand the thought that some of us have made enough money in the past to be able to take a punt on the prospects of GKP.
Fortunately, as I posted last week, I was a buyer @89.5. I’ll take a 15% ‘day trade’ profit in one week with thanks to the idiot that sold at that price.
@Kheldar, you wrote, “Millennium quickly closed their short position last week. Why do you think they did that?”
The shorttracker link you provided has a disclaimer about any 0% that occurs in their tables of shorts held.
“Notice: We no longer track disclosures after they drop below 0.5%. It is possible that the manager still holds a short position even if we are showing it as zero.”
So it might be zero but it could also be something else, aka chocolate fireguard quality info. 🙄
Itsaponzi: “Probably expect a 6 /7 % down today after that news !! ”
So you think a company that is making $4m a month profit and has said it is is expecting to increase this is overvalued at a market cap of £223? Give your head a shake.
Points to note:
Millennium quickly closed their short position last week. Why do you think they did that?
Apikur have suddenly become more vociferous and calling out lies.
Why is the Iraqi government keep dangling the promise of opening the oil pipeline soon if they are in control? Why not just say the contracts are illegal and close these companies down?
Why has Sudani openly criticised USA bombings and asked for US forces to leave but has not written a formal letter to UN or the US about either of these matters.
There are a couple of Iraqi media channels on X linked to these Shiite factions. If you think Sudani is against KRG then you need to listen to these guys. They think he is a US stooge.
Nothing can be taken for granted but things are not as bad as you think.
Still swinging at spin bowls in his head that guy is...
Brief notes about recent developments... holders are likely to be rewarded soon.

THIS WEEK - Deputy Assistant Secretary Victoria Taylor visits Iraq
In the American Congress. we have more than 40 members of what is called the Kurdish caucus. So we are talking to all of them, and encouraging them to draft a letter and make statements and have direct communication with Prime Minister Sudani as well as the White House to support the people of Kurdistan Region. Some members of Congress are already talking about preparing correspondence to the White House.
We have had a good reaction and been well-received from both sides of Congress, Democrats and Republicans. This week I've met with nine different offices. And all of these offices say that they are supportive" of resuming oil exports, said Caggins.
The US State Department has also urged Baghdad and Ankara to resume the exports as oil revenue is critical for the KRG.
c. 10th March - Ramadan starts
APRIL - President Erdogan to visit Baghdad and Kurdistan , following March 31st local elections.
c. 9th April - Eid
Mid-late April: Sudani visits Washington DC
Before he comes to Washington DC, the prime minister must put in place a budget for the KRG [Kurdistan Regional Government] and create the policy to restore full oil production and exports.
Ohhhhhh, that’s not good news ….. time to dump my 114,000 hard earned golden tickets (or maybe not !).
Pressure is being ramped up on GoI ......
"no concrete progress"
That about sums things up
There are two demands that APIKUR included in the original negotiating position, commercial equivalence and schedule for repaying arrears.
Let’s focus on the positive about the latter one.
As far as I can tell, not one local politician has lied about sorting the arrears out.
On the other hand that could well be because none of the locals on either side ever mentions how it is going to get sorted.
Feels a bit like APIKUR are a bit out of the loop but maybe I’m off on that.
I still think we are edging towards a deal over next 2 months but lots of games being played.
While they are taking US aid (plenty of it) Iraq are still their lapdog.
Surprised it took you so long.
Just-another-butt....
oooh, triggered are we?
No substantial counter-argument? just a childish "oooh another one filtered"
Snowflake.
Sunday morning. Another one filtered 🙄
Might I suggest an alternative...
APIKUR are a US-based organsiation.
The Empire of Lies are beginning to be left in the car park with regard to policy and operations in the mid, far east and RoW. They just recently had to eat humble pie and apologise to the Iraqi Govt. for illegally carrying out bombing raids in sovereign Iraqi territory.
My suggestion is that the KRG and Iraqis know something that APIKUR aren't privy to. The perceived "scrambled" press releases overnight from them and Bloomberg are data points.
Let's wait and see shall we?
Itsaponzi filtered.
The pressure for a resumption has ramped up significantly and will not go away.
Naive fools like the idiot below can't see this.
Sudani visiting Washington in April, Erdogan visiting Iraq also, US Congress now involved, letters being written...next month could be huge.
Baghdad is quick enough to get its hand out asking for financial assistance and American dollars. Little wonder that its already taken over a year to sort out a mess of its own deliberate making.
Its a shame because the gut reaction is "they don't deserve one cent", but then its the poorest who will lose out and the militants who will move in, with the blessings of the many corrupt politicians in charge.
However it does add weight and publicly shows them up to the world as an un-investable country unless you are from a corrupt country yourself where its fine to bribe and extort.
However Baghdad is trying to get more investment from abroad...funny way of trying to achieve it.

Caveat emptor when it comes to using X based local language sound bites, from publicity seeking politicians aiming at a specific home grown target audience.

Itsaponzi,
You allege that this is 'Official' !
Where are the links to support this ? You dress your posts up to look like they are some sort of news reports - but you fail to provide any links whatsoever ?
Can you provide the link(s) to this article - or did you just make them up as usual ?
March 2, 2024
APIKUR denies claims by Government of Iraq (GoI) officials that an agreement has been reached among the GoI, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), and international oil companies (IOCs) to resume oil exports through the Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline (ITP).
APIKUR’s member companies would welcome the reopening of ITP. Regrettably, to date, we have not even seen any proposals from GoI or KRG for the agreements that would be required to do so.
From the horses mouth !!
proposals from GoI or KRG for the agreements that would be required to do so.
Recently there have been several unfounded media statements by senior GoI officials that a deal has been reached for IOCs to resume exports through the ITP. We do not understand the motivation for such misinformation but note that Iraq is reportedly losing $1 billion for each month that ITP remains closed.
APIKUR, also, notes that meetings were held in Baghdad on January 7-9, 2024, between representatives of the GoI, the KRG, and IOCs — including representatives of several APIKUR member companies. But, thus far, there has been no concrete progress towards that end presented to the members of APIKUR.
APIKUR member companies stand ready to meet again with GoI and KRG officials to swiftly resolve the issues to the benefit of all.

Superb interview.
Lies being called out.
All payments to Baghdad must be stopped pending a resumption of exports.
Right now, in 2024, Iraq will receive more than a billion dollars for military and security assistance, and also around $400 million for humanitarian and stabilization and development assistance. APIKUR has been informing Congress that it is not acceptable for Baghdad to take American tax dollars when Baghdad is refusing to generate its own money from the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region.
We know that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani has been invited to visit the White House and we think that visit will happen after Ramadan, sometime in late April. And before he comes to Washington DC, the prime minister must put in place a budget for the KRG and create the policy to restore full oil production and exports. This is our belief. And this is also a belief that has been echoed and is supported by many members of the United States Congress.
