The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Looks like Admin have had enough of the Multi ID's and cleared up the board. Hopefully this leads to a move sensible balanced board. It has been quiet from Range and the number of trades yesterday was less than 1m on AIM (from the trade feed here) so it looks like all quiet until we get an op's update on either T&T or Perlak. I certainly hope we get news before the quarterlies which are nearly 6 weeks away. We have had 7 updates in the last 2 months (around 1 a week) so maybe an update next week. I also note that no investor Q&A is listed on the Range website. Maybe they are trying to take a better approach towards comms to negate the need for the same. KRO Bounty
Looks like a few posters have gone - I tried Celtic, Surely and Delft and they all redirect to share chat. I suspect we may receive a few new posters in the coming days... As I have said before perhaps the loss of Celtic is both a curse and a blessing. I wish him all the best if he has been banned but maybe it will stop some of the trolls stalking him. KRO
Its a shame to see this backing off from its highs but more frustratingly is the difference between WTI and crude. Anyhows. Time for a sunny weekend. Have a good one all. KRO
Nov, I appreciate your view and given the horrid times this has brought on so many people it is hard to disconnect the carp times we have been through. I think your view is, in my opinion, where we were a few (6 maybe) months ago. I think there is definate progress being made and the POO has really given Range a chance. There is a large element of a gamble here as a drop in POO could cripple once and for all Range. As ever with Range, we only know so much and that raises concerns with how much the BOD is saying. But given the updates of late, I think they are doing the right things. Also I can see a point where in a few year T&T is not the main event. I do wonder what we are doing though. We have lots of licences but have barely drilled any new wells in a number of years. Hope you are well and ATB. KRO
Surely, I stuggle to understand Celtic's position. I almost believe (hope) it has become almost a character rather than who he actually is. Perhaps these board have become a hobby to let off some steam. KRO
Nov, I agree with you to a point and I believe freedom of speech is an important thing BUT that has to come with certain responsabilities. I don�t believe that you should be posting things that you believe to be false and misleading OR if challenged your position should be one which you are prepared to defend and expand upon. I probably have taken exception with some of Celtic�s posts so it is my right (freedom of speech) to challenge these points to try and either understand or educate as to the viewpoint. I certainly don�t dislike Celtic, in fact I suspect he is actually probably quite a nice bloke and I even tried to help him out with somethings by emailing from a burner email account. I suspect 1 of a couple of things is the case and I feel bad for any of the outcomes. 1) he likes being the centre of attention, hence he posts with a view to attract attention 2) he is in so deep with Range that his judgement is clouded and will do anything as he sees to try and get something back on his investment 3) (least likely � this is why the other 2 annoy me more) he simply doesn�t empathise with other and doesn�t understand the posts he has made on the slide from the 10p+ era bullish about his investment wind people up. I wish him all the best and just wish he would learn to be more pragmatic and maybe the clowns would stop following him around and reasoned discussion over the share could carry on. As it�s been a while since you have posted, I was here and remember your pretty reasoned views from way back when, what are your views on Range as it stands, I understand you would not invest given history but would be interesting to get your take. KRO Bounty.
PS Celtic, he even had to admit he was wrong...
Celtic, I think it is fairly clear that Delft is purely here for 2 reasons. 1) to wind you up and 2) bash Range. It is likely that 2 will get to you anyways. I am not sure why someone would have a hobby of being a troll. It baffles me. Shame that any man and their dog can easily get a VPN to get around IP checkers. I suspect this is how most of the trolls last so long and come back so quivcky. It's kind of funny because Delft doesnt try and get a rise out of me as he appears to know I am prepared to concede Ranges weaknesses but will argue facts where need be. Dont take this the wrong way Celtic but you dont help yourself. Your posts make it easy for people on your side to get wound up. Maybe take a view on what I say but its hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Its finally June and hopefully this quarter is the strongest on record and the annuals are our best to date. No doubt the bashers will harp on the 46 barrels from Perlak or the debt but will never discuss the positives. KRO
Celtic, thank you for finally posting your response after several weeks of asking. So some bitter ex holder are selling small amounts to knock the SP down, if they were ex holders, how are they selling shares if they are ex holders. Surely (no pun intended) you need to be a share holder (ie hold shares) to be able to sell shares. This makes no sense at all, So your essential view is that "traders" (a mysterious mythical monster) are selling small quantities to try and drop the SP so they can buy more. The problem with this is that the SP really has not gone up at any real time over the past 5 years - I wont comment on the 10 year graph!! You appear to suggest that traders can CONSTANTLY sell small amount of shares and then (!?!?!) buy bigger amounts of share at a lower value. The question is WHERE are these traders looking to make profit, as once they have apparently dropped the SP, the price to sell then drops so the new shares that they have bought are instantly worth less. Your view on this is clear that you are keen to blame anyone other than Range for the poor performance of the company and therefore the SP and looking to shift your error in judgement in buying at a higher level onto someone else so that you do not feel quite as bad about your decision making. Lets be clear. I have bought at higher levels than we are currently at. There is a reason why there are no new (or very few) investors as there is little to inspire confidence of making a profit. Whilst I am happy that I will see profit, I can understand people looking at a graph that has dropped essentially for 7+ years and with the impending debt burden be unable to justify as to where the profit will come from. Simply put, it appears that your few is one which you have picked up from posters of old when it was suspected that people were getting free options and flooding the market and have believed that somehow people can make money in spite of the spread. Celtic, I don't want to argue but you really need to try and think critically and objectively and realise that there are no ex holders trying to get you to lose money as they would (if shorting) certainly get burnt if the board released a genuine good news of say extra water for the waterflood or increase oil from Trin or Perlak. Good luck and am sorry it took you to be hounded to try and illicit a sensible discussion on the matter. KRO
I have changed the subject and copied your post Celtic as I suspect the admin will take the thread with lies in shortly. CELTICHEART - 07.52 1) who do you think this is massive 8 year manipulation Traders trying to manipulate the price down and some bitter ex holders 2) why are they doing this... what is there ultimate goal For the traders the answer is simple, drop the price and buy on any weakness they create 3) where are their unlimited shares coming from in order to sell. Simple, traders sell a few at silly prices and buy back more cheaply, before you say it I know that take a hit on the tiny trades but it is a meaningkess amount in the scheme of things, so self perpetuating.
Delft, if you are going to post lies or false facts... rule number one, don't give up the source material that proves you wrong. Even IF we take the after hours investor Q&A in to account and say that this was the cause for the rise on this day, This is not what you said so your fact is indeed a lie. So apologies and retraction are eagerly awaited. Oh and if you try and hide behind that Q&A (which was a nice after the fact at a cover your lies) then the Indonesia RNS before that from 22/3 resulted in a closure being flat. So from your statement of "Interesting that every time a RNS is released about Indonesia the share price drops" it is actually from 4 RNS announcements 2 were down (5% and 3%) 1 was flat and 1 was up 10%. Proof that you are posting misinformation - I am sure Craig at admin will be interested in this. FRO
No need to lie and mislead Delft... go back 3 RNS's... up 10%... I trust a retraction will come shortly. KRO
Celtic, I think Pedrob and Surely both hit the nail on the head. I was actually a bit gutted as a spotted it, was going to post it but then noticed that Surely had beaten me to the punch. KRO
Its keep right on, reference to my poor choice in football team...
Small buy at the end of the day, looks like the usual suspects are trying to make the SP look better to try and get some noobs to buy in. Absolutely disgraceful. KRO
Kindly explain how the SP apparently closed flat on Friday at 0.28p and today closes flat today at 0.22p. I ran the numbers through a rigorous spreadsheet and the numbers are definitely different � 0.28p is not the same as 0.22p.
Looks like the accurate information is actually in accurate as it says last close (24/5) was 0.22p. OR perhaps..it was at 0.28p and now is at 0.22p and there has been no percentage drop... Its all noise anyways as we are back in the 0.20p to 0.25p range which is a little worse than last week and a little better than a few weeks ago. A least we a in a position to move up with more positive news. KRO
Surely, I also said down in spite of my holding of nearly 4m shares. KRO
Celtic, there is something clearly amiss with the stock exchange feed as the last trade above 0.25p was 19 trades ago before 10am this morning. I like the optomism but something is evidently wrong. It is of little real importance as day to day price is not going to affect either of our bank balances. Its going to be an sp of many multiples of todays levels whether that is 0.28p or 0.22p. Whilst I like your view, you surely in your heart cannot call today as a flat close? It honestly doesnt matter and you may have been wiser to keep quiet about todays sp rather than seek a fight. KRO
Windy, sorry but I will post as I see fit. Much like Celtic contiues to do. If you dont like my posts you have the option to filter. KRO
