XEL .................will have nightmares now .. MD lived in Guildford from memory ??
Remember getting to the point that I was going to knock on his door.
Ah, Johnston Press, yes , I was in that, I think it went bust? Speedy Hire was another that was on the brink which I dabbled with. I was in RKH also but not for long, I’m not good with oil companies, try to stay away from them.
Nah was never in them.
Desire petroleum was the Falkland company I couldn’t remember.
I was in Xcite energy (XEL), that turned out to be a disaster but learnt alot from that experience.
Falklands oil and gas?
Rockhopper !!... made my first ( & probably last ) very profitable day trade on RKH. Went on cricket tour full of it .
Few weeks later and .... you know the rest .
Bet you were in Provexis too ?!
Yep was in yell too. Afren. Johnston press. Rockhopper. There was some other company in the Falklands too that no longer exists, name escapes me.
And my worst F up...........Reneuron , boy did I wish I hadnt seen a link recently to where there share price got to & is now.
Sure fire lesson that fundamentals do pay .. eventually. Sadly for me another lesson is that patience can pay !
The salary he was paying himself, it didnt matter to him if they found any oil or not.
My big play was Yell, I bottom fed it at 11p and made some decent money, however, I got greedy and lost a few quid in the end but made enough to buy a house which was the objective at the start, it was crazy back then, exciting but not for the faint hearted!
Todd Kozel ...!!!

Range resources was also one of mine too. Beacon hill resources too.
To be honest, I completely forgot GKP was still going. Wonder how Mr. Kozel is getting on!
I was in GKP at £1 watched it go all the way part £2,£3 and just above £4 and then sold out at about £2 on the way down again. There were some seriously good rampers on that forum I can remember some of the names but will not mention them. So many well written posts about takeovers and so forth, it even made it into a Sunday papers on the back of the rumours.
Not sure if god or bad but nice to hear from some early GKP investors.
Was in around 2009 too & thought it would be my ' tomorrow Rodders' play but little did I know. Add Range Resources to that and £20k ISA down the pan & a wife who still remembers !!
10 + years later & I have finally sold the GKP shares and decided to ride the Pharma wave .. try at least. So far so good.
Good luck to all those who are positive
Yep, was one of my first shares too. I got in around the same sort of price as you and more or less held all the way. Ended up 23 bagging. Was just blind luck, none of my AIM investments have come close since.
John Ryland is our former finance director for over 10 years, retired in 2017
Once last seller gone and website updated, be interesting to compare then and now shareholdings
GKP was one of my first ever share purchases 12 years ago when I first got into this game. I frequented the iii board at the time, I bought at 11p and sold at 17p, I thought I was the next Warren Buffet - oops! lol.
I was definitely on the iii board at some point during gkp but not at the start. Got in 2009 and then got out in 2012 when it went ballistic. I was in Thailand at the time and the guy who gave me the tip messaged me. Thank god they had an Internet cafe!
Magsy, did you frequent the iii board with GKP?
Nice of them to offer him shares in the placing, bit of respect for their biggest cheerers
If john Ryland is increasing his stake that is very significant he was one of the original investors when epistem/genedrive was launched and has held his stake since.
I got exceptionally lucky with GKP like 12 years or so ago and I have had no luck with oilies since then! My bottom has been ignited by them several times too.

We'll find out Monday. like today, it was easy to see the SP was being held by background sells. If it drops, i will def top up. ALL this iis know where this one is going.
@magsy I’ll take that too! Maybe not the oilies though, unless you have some solid tips - been burned by them before!
The dream would be £5.78 to be exact to give me a lovely round number to sell out at. Within the next 2 months please. Hopefully the oilies are still struggling at that time!
