Thanks.....have to admit it was difficult not to post with some of the nonsense people were coming out with when we hit the low 40's.

Took a bit longer than I expected to get back to 50p.....wonder what happened to all those going short at 40p saying we were headed for 30p.....hmmmmmm

Protest over.... :-)

In protest I've decided I'm not posting on here again till we're over 50p. Good luck all and hopefully chat soon.

Friday we drop 7%, Monday we rise 5%, Tuesday we drop 7%, Wednesday we......?

Most stocks got their arse handed to them today....in fact Tullow dropped less than Shell today. Again....what is different today from yesterday besides the share price? Exactly....sentiment is the answer..... why is sentiment negative .... just look at the media.... they play us like fools and make billions in the process.

I really don't understand the mentality of some people. You hold for a year and watch the share price go from 45p to 60p and back again 5 or 6 times. Then you decide it's a good idea to get out at 45p a week before the half year update based on an oil price averaging around $120, full well knowing that Tullow has probably been averaging $80 to $90 despite the hedging.

F me....I just don't get it!!!!!!!!

PS: Or if you take the shares I bought on Friday afternoon last week it's gone up 5%. Just depends how you look at things I guess.

Steamboatwilly if you take Friday and today it has only fallen 2.35%.....hardly significant. Obviously the drop from 60p to here is. Rahul is not here for short term gain....he announced a 10 year plan less than 2 years ago. As far as I can tell we're way ahead on the plan already. He's not planning on cashing in tomorrow or next month like most PI's who want it to rocket and will then get out. He wants to build a major player in African oil and gas. With his share options he has 10million shares by 2025. Might not be what you want to hear but think we're going to have to be more patient.

I imagine the first step would be to find a strategic partner and second step would be ratification by the Kenyan government. Same order as the merger. Also, my understanding is they had to resubmit their development plan by the 31st of December last year and dont think the Kenyan government has approved it yet. Would they announce the partner before agreement from the government.... I dont know. I haven't researched it but going on what I recall from RNS's and presentations. I guess this is probably why everyone is complaining about the communication. Would be better if Tullow could clearly explain in detail the steps and their order. Might be a question for IR.

Funny....when we go down 7% everyone is criticing Rahul.....when we go up 5% there's silence. People need to realise these daily swings are out of his control. As is the timeline with Kenya.

Was about to give a whole story on why it's wrong to sell know, but decided against it as everyone knows my views already. I will say that it's hard to keep the faith at times like this, the share price really hasn't delivered over the past year. We all know that. So people have to do what feels right for them. I would however add that if you are planning on getting out try not to sell at the bottom when everything seems like pure despair. We have been to low 40's several times over the past 12 months and always bounced back higher.

I'm not a subscriber so can't read the article, but seems promising. Need more positivity like this....

Thanks Tman75....

How exactly are we shareholders being lied too? Rahul has done everything he promised and arguably more. It's really not his fault we dropped 7% on Friday. In fact it's probably more your fault than his given your negative posting. And please don't suggest he buys shares as that's just ridiculous given there's an update in less than 2 weeks and potential Kenya announcement imminent. Even if he was able to the share price would probably rise by 5 to 10% and they'd be straight back to their games dragging it down.

You don't come across as stupid, however it's extremely stupid to make such a negative post while announcing you're planning on selling. Not sure it's because I topped up on Friday, however I think we'll have blue day on Monday. We've been here several times before when it's been dragged down into the low 40's for no real reason.

Sitting at the airport in Nairobi waiting for my connecting flight. No sign of Rahul, but the locals say the deal is nearly done.

And no JMAX I haven't actually asked anyone about it, but I am in Nairobi for 3 hours.

I have an opinion and am entitled to express it. However, I seriously doubt anyone is investing based on my advice.

The right decision today is often the wrong decision tomorrow. If you buy back in at these prices you definitely made the right decision :-)

Sitting at the airport now about to go on holiday and just couldn't resist topping up. If all other oilers where doing OK and Tullow down, I'd say bad news has leaked. But I see a lot of others in the red today. So this is another panic drop for no real reason specific to Tullow. How can we not be over 50p again on the 13th with this oil price for the last 6 months. Anyway, have a 3 hour stop over on Nairobi, so will check what's the status on Kenya while I'm there.

Or top up if you can..... we all know this is going back over 60p......even if oil gets to $60

60p by the 13th. Be nice if Repsol then drops a positive Guyana drill RNS bomb on that and then Tullow drops a positive Kenya RNS bomb on top of that ..... BOOM ..... BOOM!
