I sold MET1 to buy EOG - no regrets. Timing is everything. I foresee shenanigans as regards oil explorers in Irish waters. Could PRD absorb LOGP and EOG?

Or maybe a major player will take them all off the board?

Why not? Endless dilution from warrants and then there'll be a placing. And then another!

"You’ll be good here Beardozer. my tea leaves say so" - not quite sure what to make of that comment - were you casting nasturtiums?

Being an Aspie I always try to do my best whilst fighting crime in my spare time of which there is very little. Far too busy buying junk on eBay which gives me enormous pleasure. Assuming we're talking about magical thinking/positive thinking: if you don't ask you don't get so demand a magical figure for ZIOC and you might be offered more than you ever imagined! Besides, it's depressing enough being a ZIOC shareholder with over 70% of my PF invested here therefore I'd prefer to look on the bright side! So get a move on you billionaires in charge of our destinies! Then we can all afford limousines! Communism's great failure was to supply Ladas instead of Rolls-Royces. But hasn't the quality of Skodas improved?

At least be reasonable! Directors are severely restricted as to when they can buy. If ORR isn't the new GGP I'd like to know what is.

The Lanstead cloud will pass fairly soon and let's not forget that the SP has been much higher during the Lanstead deal so why not now after all the good news? One day new investors will pile in and the rug won't be pulled from under them! What made me more than double my holding was hopes of a takeover while ORR is on its knees but with enormous potential. And I'm sure there'd be more than one predator hoping to bag the next GGP. Might even be a major miner so £100m would be money from down the back of the sofa to them. Let's see.

About 10p? An unusual pump'n'dump but I finally bailed out and bunged the proceeds into EOG.

"Most" leaves almost 50% not received!

MTL, the company Tim Livesey moved to has risen 73.86% over the past year. Mkt. Cap. now £204m after they took over CNR. Taking over ORR would be small change! Except I don't think they'd get away with it! The upside here is astronomical as many predators are starting to realise. In which case, the Lanstead cloud will soon disappear and they'll also be hoping for a swift takeover. I'll be glad to see the back of my investment in ORR and happy to accept 2p for my shares.

A couple of posters here know far more about ORR than you'd expect! I accept that the Lanstead deal saved the company. Also, that while that deal has been in place the SP has been far higher! So why not now after a succession of amazing RNSs? One mega-buy would wipe out Lanstead's interest! Are we really expecting the SP to rocket the day after Lanstead are out? Is Mr Market really that stupid? Probably.

ZIOC has always operated in a different timezone to its shareholders! To or from - I dunno! Am I wasting my time looking at £2m houses in York? Worth £3m within 10 years? A University City is worth investing in but I'm worried about flooding. Not to mention IHT as I cannot imagine I'll still be here in 2032.

Post-jackpot I will be consulting the accountant I employed during my courier years. White Van Man Rules!

According to Google, at 1400 there was a sale of 3 shares @ 7.5p and 3 is supposed to be Market Maker code for "Take the stock down to get shares".

That trade is shown here at 13:59:17 as Unknown 0 volume 0 value which is highly suspicious. In my experience, Bed and ISA trades are never at exactly the same price.

Decided I couldn't wait any longer to increase my holding and was amazed to be quoted 0.2181p after such a run of excellent RNSs. So that "sell" is a buy.

The 40,000 "sell" is my buy - had to invest my MET1 profits somewhere!

Why so coy about how you arrived at a figure plucked from the air MM? That's where most of mine originate and there's nothing wrong with it. Share prices generally would be much higher if investors had more numbers to work with. Can't get the phrases "all mouth and trousers" and "fur coat and no knickers" out of my head! All mouth and no trousers, even, as Snagglepuss would be the first to remark. Other pink cartoon felines are available. On a more serious note, extrader's posts elsewhere about mining licences being revoked not a million miles away from up the Congo have given me pause for thought. As if ZIOC investors didn't already have enough to keep them awake at night.

Interesting to see the SP ended down! Sooner or later the chickens will come home to roost! There will be a lot of late reported sells next week. As soon as the SP drops 10% the automatic stop losses will kick in but by then it will be too late. The result will be carnage and probably # 1 Top Faller down 50%. Alternatively, the SP will be viewed as a bargain and the endless buying will continue which will attract even more buyers who will imagine they're on a stairway to Heaven. It will certainly be interesting to see what happens next week!

Hi MALdives - NEVER EVER get involved with family members' investment decisions! If you recommend a successful investment they'll expect you to recommend another! If what you recommend goes down in value they'll expect compensation from you! Not worth all the aggro - steer clear! ORR is EXTREMELY HIGH RISK but also likely to provide an astounding return. At the same time, the Cameroon Government could suddenly turn nasty and pull the rug from under all of us. Besides, £20k in just one investment is beyond EXTREMELY HIGH RISK. Unless, like me, you're into binary bets. In which case, I'd split £20k into four and invest £5k in ORR, ZIOC, TOM and GRX. A year from now I'm 99% sure the £20k will be worth at least £60k. DYOR! As should your family member but, in my experience, they'd rather trust you and then have someone to blame!

Not noticing that on Monday over 20m new shares will hit the Market. That's called dilution and is normally bad news but in MET1's case it may well be shrugged off! This has been my best ever investment and I still don't know why! Right place, right time, right pump'n'dump? Sadly, I've reduced from 40,000 shares to 2,000 as I can't bear to sever my connection. £1 next week? I dunno but I can't see new investors making over 1000% from here. Timing is everything.

You're not buying the right shares - there's nothing wrong with AIM! DYOR! What's your opinion of ZIOC?

It's not rocket science!

Couldn't agree with you more Kutzzz! Except selling into every rise has made punters money in the past! I'd be very surprised if the SP goes sub-19 from now on and I'm looking forward to buying a few million shares as soon as funds are available and depending on whether Lanstead are out.

Why would it be £1 by November? They're certainly not slow to expand which implies, sooner or later, a placing which could crash the SP! Except they're not your usual AIM company which could be a breath of fresh air. I sold 25% of my remaining holding today @ 40.89p and banked a 764% profit.
