PS....its not because you have an opinion you get abuse. It is merely due to the fact you randomly pop up spouting every doomsday scenario under the sun every time we have a big dip. You sold your holding too early and you closed your short too early. So don't expect anyone on here to respect your opinion.

Tell me the number of people who can sell all their assets and pay off their mortgage..... your dying words one day will be "They are going to dilute to raise equity....gasp....gasp....croak"

I normally take these kinds of posts about take overs, etc. with a pinch of salt, however after several glasses of red I've had an epiphany. I'd just like to remind all the shorters on here that while you may scoff at Adieuk32's post, he was the one saying something was up a while back and sure enough.....the merger with CNE was announced soon after. Where there's smoke there's often fire.

Have a good weekend all you shorters....

There's a bounce coming.....question is when. Least with the dip we get some feisty exchanges on here. Makes a refreshing change from the stunned silence of the past few weeks.

In the meantime it's Friday and I'll take comfort in the knowledge that the share price won't drop for the next 2 days....that and a nice bottle of red.

You really are deluded ... especially given the fact that it rose nearly 100% after you sold and even though we've tanked now ,we're still higher than the price you sold at. Yet you persist in trying to "warn us", however don't seem to realise that you lost all credibility 2 years again. No one cares what you think, and why would they given your track record and the fact that you only pop in here when things are bleak trying to tell us I told you so with the gift of hindsight. No doubt just trying to make yourself feel better for selling too early.

Of course I'd also like to have sold at 66p and don't like the drop as it has cost me a lot in paper profit. Unfortunately, I like everyone else, can't predict the future. However, I unlike a lot of people on here am honest about my position and intentions. I'm a holder, so why wouldn't I ramp and of course my intention is to unload my shares at a time when I hope to maximise my return. The difference is I will wish whoever buys them well and certainly won't be on here preaching if things go badly or expressing regrets if it booms.

As for sucking people in ... no one is making investment decisions purely on my ramblings on the BB. You can see in my posts that I've been open all along and never had any hidden agenda. If you're trading, the only person clicking the buy and sell buttons are yourself, so if the trade doesn't go your way you need to look in the mirror if you want to blame someone.

It's a bit like your equity raise.....a total nonsense. Tullow is barely making a profit you idiot.

Exactly.....sold out in the low 30's and it rose to 66p after that. They were very quite when that happened. Now suddenly need to warn us. It happens everytime we drop .....they all come creeping out of the woodwork to try tell us how right they were.

They must be really insecure if they need to spend their time trying to prove that the mistake they made 2 years ago wasn't actually a mistake. Very sad individuals.

Funny ..... I had a similar thought yesterday. Why buy into Kenya for a few billion when you can have the whole company for £500m. At 2.5 times that's £1.25b .... still a lot cheaper than buying into Kenya I think.

I really hope we do get taken over....be nice to finally see some true value.

Well in my defence Kenya has been under negotiation since 2012..... lol

Don't forget to close your short before the bounce .... it's coming!

Hmmmm ...... feels like the only option for us mere mortals is to buy a jar of Vaseline :-(

Might be wrong, but I'd be surprised if they can buy now as they would have inside knowledge of what is happening with the Ghana gas and Kenya deals. I'm really hoping this is the case. I also really hope they drop both RNS's soon and burn the shorters to the ground. Rid of them once and for all. Yes, oil price has dropped, but no way we should be sub 40p and we are getting raped daily.

I wasn't commenting on his suitability or performance.....just meant that the outstanding issue of not having a CFO is sorted.

That's the new CFO taken care of......

There's lots of things I should of done in life ..... hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Fair enough

Surely if you saw share price growth unlikely it doesn't make sense to hold long term? Genuine question.

Question for you JMAX. Last time we had a drop like this we bounced off 36p and obviously the oil price was higher than. Assuming you don't mind me asking, what would be your entry point now?

And when the only price drops only the unhedged production is affected.

JMAX you can't have it both ways .... i.e. use hedging to justify the SP not going up when oil rises and the SP dropping when oil drops.
