I can`t believe the amount of people posting on these boards who claim to know whether trades are buys or sells. Unless the trade belongs to them then they are just deluded and ignorant, and just believing whichever suits their agenda. The sp dropped at exactly the time of the trades in question (according to the data) so could so easily have been buys, and todays gap up would support that side. There`s only one guarantee about the trades data either way, and that is that it is UNKNOWN!! ps. For every buyer there`s a seller, and vice versa!

keep up at the back there...

.....so the 70p level will now be re-tested and thats the time to buy....booooom!

It was obvious really. it had pressed the 70p level for a while and the sellers dried up! No brainer!

Schlumberger Stumble Sees RBC Downgrade Ophir 1327 GMT Shares in Ophir Energy fall 1.5% to 68p, as Royal Bank of Canada cuts its recommendation to sector perform from outperform and lowers its target price to 90p from 135p. While Ophir, which RBC says is cash rich, looked strong at the start of 2016, the collapse of a deal which would have seen U.S. peer Schlumberger take a stake in Ophir's Equatorial Guinea operation has hit the company hard. What's more, a rebound in oil prices has seen Ophir's rivals pull ahead, says RBC. Ultimately, though, the bank expects the company to get back on track in the short-term future. Hmm...that`ll be a buy then! Ha ha! Told you it would be a buy!!!!

realdeal2, that 380k was a `UT`, an uncrossing trade so can be generally ignored. Not an individual trade.

To the moon and beyond, this could be it...massive trades, well £8k ish, anyway...all buys, well probably all, anyway RNS out...big news, well only a migration of shares from one nominee to another, but anyway...news must be on the way up 6.6% as I write. Hold on to your hats guys this could go spiral...I mean virus..I mean orbison...I mean orbital...oh I don`t know what I mean...I can`t even spell meen now I`m so excited! And Me :-)

More moves afoot then.... http://www.investegate.co.uk/obtala-resources-ltd/rns/move-to-setsqx/201605061430025326X/

Check out the interview with Miles Pelham today, comes across very confident about the position of the company with focus on ramping up the businesses `drastically` and `exponentially`! http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/stocktube/4966/new-obtala-chair-focused-on-scaling-up-forestry-business-4966.html

...Investors seem to like Obt, here`s there newest plug http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/stocktube/4966/new-obtala-chair-focused-on-scaling-up-forestry-business-4966.html I like this bit Francesco Scolaro has stepped down as executive chairman, and Pelham says his key aim is to expand revenue, by “scaling up a forestry business that is currently producing 5% of its potential to 50% potential to 80%”.

Looks like David Copperfield has done a job on our resident deluded over`ramper, I wonder why? Well maybe its because the sp continues to fall, he`s quick to jump on any piddling little rise (from a new low) hoping something miraculous could be about to blow but goes missing today when the sp breaks down through another support level...19p here we come, then probably the all time low of 15p! I don`t think even David Copperfield could pull a rabbit out of this saggy old hat....but I suppose if you`re completely deluded in to believing in fairy`s then all you can do is cover your denial that you bought a dog by popping your head up out of you`re dark hole every time the price goes up one, after going down two, to declare this could be `it! I suppose even a broken clock is right twice a day, so maybe one day you`re crying wolf will be right....but it looks as if a miracle will be needed. Anybody got DC`s number? And Me

Yeah must be delayed because it doesn`t look to be showing in the data yet, I can`t see it being in dribs and drabs considering the sizes changing hands at the moment.

So there`s 6 million!!! http://www.investegate.co.uk/obtala-resources-ltd--obt-/rns/holding-s--in-company/201604261608204124W/

Fair enough.

Thats old news...the 6m trades are todays news.

Maffa, looks like we are of the same view about Mr Scolaro. I like the guy, I watched some of the presentation videos and thought he would be someone I would like to party with. But I also thought he seemed to treat it as something of a `plaything` for him...maybe I`m wrong, but if I got that impression then maybe some of the big investor players thought the same. Maybe Mr Miles is a far more serious investor/controller, and the market `serious investors` are more prepared to back him than dear Mr Scolaro. Mr Scolaro has been at the helm and done a very good job in bringing Obtala to its current positive position, so credit for that, but its probably the perfect time for someone with a less `plaything` approach to take over. The stiff suited robots in the invetment market probably prefer that!

Rollthediceagain, you`re probably a glass half full type then, and if you think that then suggest a sell and buy back cheaper! Bingo! Some sellers today but also some confident buyers, food certs in place and great video on the OBT website outlining where they are now with progress. gfb258, good luck with the wife, tell her she owes you a `favour` now that you`ve been vindicated ha ha! Here`s a theory, I think the strong rise (because that`s what it is in relative terms) could be due to Mr Scolaro stepping down...maybe he was the one holding this back in some peoples minds, and the new Chairman, who has a very significant holding with his nearest and dearest, could be the key to unlocking the value of the company. However you view it the company has made progress with markets opening up for them and a quality operation compared to a year or two ago. Very happy to hold for now with the new developments and looking forward to reading Mr Miles`s take on the medium term plans...imminently! Maybe even before the UK investors show on Saturday! I can`t help but think that maybe thats the chronology implied by the new Chairman in his words... I look forward to updating shareholders in the imminent future of our medium-term plans and meeting many of them in person at the UK Investor Show being held at the QEII Conference centre in London on the Saturday 30th of April" I shall be checking for RNS`s regularly between now and Saturday.

Nice to see that there wasn`t a mad dash for the exits after a relatively decent rise, in fact the trades data this morning is showing decent confidence in the future for this undervalued company...about time! Nice buy of 227,000 @ 7.5p. Profit taking is always going to be part of the cycle but not many at this level so far and if it breaks 8p then gfb258 could well be right about 12p by summer. The `imminent` update on medium term plans should be interesting. 2016 looks like it could be the start of the rerating. About time!

Well the plot thickens... another trade went through at 18:03pm yesterday for 1,575,000 @ 7.25p! Maybe one of those silly rollovers that nobody seems to understand.
