Andes Energia Share Chat (AEN)

for quite sometime. keep watching this....

Anyone out there know is this a good buy for this company which will take the price back up to the heights of this time last year or Just good bye Andes

It's making lows at the moment. i reckon this is a good entry point for many people. Probably great opportunity to build positions in the next few months, as this should be back in peoople's radar later on in the year. Amazing, how this share goes in and out of fashion very quickly

THIS STOCK IS VERY CHEAP. Expecting a big move up here very soon.

This seems to be creeping up nicely

State-controlled energy firm YPF is close to securing a deal with Spanish firm Repsol to establish a jointly capitalized subsidiary with acreage in the promising Vaca Muerta area in the provinces of Neuquén and Mendoza, local media reported.

The prospective agreement would imply that legal action taken by Repsol against Argentina and YPF (after the government’s expropriation of the Spanish firm’s majority share in YPF in April 2012) and against other energy firms who had reached cooperation deals with the Argentine oil company would be dropped.

Meetings between YPF and Repsol representatives was confirmed by the former to the Herald, but La Nación reported sources close to Repsol CEO Antonio Brufau stating he would never consider the notion of working with “the firm that confiscated us.”

Ámbito Financiero said negotiations have been led by high-ranking government officials, including Argentine Ambassador to Spain Carlos Bettini, whose steps were duly reported to President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

Despite Brufau’s refutations, YPF sources have revealed that the deal could be announced within weeks, and that they imposed as a condition that Brufau be excluded from involvement and also be left out of the prospective subsidiary due to alleged accounting irregularities, including poor administration, which were found in an audit of the Spanish company’s performance as majority shareholder of YPF.

According to Ámbito Financiero, the degree of commitment by both parties in this alleged agreement is exemplified by the President having welcomed at Government House savings bank La Caixa CEO Isidro Fainé Casas, Repsol’s Vice-President and 12.53 percent majority shareholder, to reportedly refine the small print of the accord, with the latter not objecting to Brufau’s exclusion because of the overarching interest to participate in exploration and oil and gas extraction.

Neuquén and Mendoza provincial governments are also purported to be discreetly drawing up decrees to cede the land for such operations by the new firm, which is yet to be named.

The alleged deal would be consistent with the Strategic Plan announced by YPF CEO Miguel Galuccio, which also rectifies the contradiction with the President’s stern condemnation of the Spanish firm. The plan is based on the premise that it woul

RNS sounds great, any ideas why theres is no volume as such since. This looks like good things on the near horizon or have I missed something. Would have expected a decent flurry of buys by now?
