may the force As far as I am aware it is impossible to short DOR shares. In any case there are regular updated lists that notiy any meaningful short positions and I have never seen DOR on there. Maybe there are those who think a few posters on a bb - many of which have already bought shares and probably aren't going to add greatly - can affect the price and others who think that it is just a bb and it doesn't have much effect Personally I haven't seen any evidence that anything written on here affects the SP one way or another - so there is no need for keyboard warriors of any persuasion. it is simple. Good production figures and good news and the SP will go up. Delays and placements and the SP will go down.

Wolf - I bought �8k of DOR at 0.15p in an ISA on the bbc anouncement day . I also had the same in Alba but recovered my losses there. When the price dropped to 0.07p I then topped up by �2k in a normal trading account. The next day we got suspended so maybe you can understand my reluctance to try an average down again. I also refuse to buy over the phone so will not trade on nex as HL and IG don't allow online trading. I have 2 phone calls to make which will be for my exit. so it is �10k if it was a serious offer and you want to buy me out. Not a fortune but certainly not something to be sniffed at. Certainly enough to allow me to post on here without being harassed. I think i have explained my position on here enough times. if you really want to know then my posting history is there for all to see. i am sure you having suffered paper losses in the past can appreciate peoples negative views as well as positive, My suspicion is that it is not that you don't understand but it doesn't fit what you want to read on here. However it is a board for people to express all sorts of opinions - even in this world where the thought police desperately want to censor everyones opinions that doesn't agree with the agenda. I have been optimistic - when leni took over...even when we first went on ISDX..when we got a boost in SP over ASX listing. Funny how certain posters don't complain then. I have been very negative but that is a true barometer of DOR over the the time i have been invested. I was optimistic recently with ASX launch - until it turned out exactly as i had sort of predicted when it was announced. I am patiently waiting production figures. I as I have always said think that there is the potential to get my money back - even profit - if you properly read what i post. I still maintain that I don't want Leni to dilute any more - i want to see light at the end off the tunnel. Hope that clarifies

wolf - i am not sure what my exit price is - if you read previous post - if i got to break even and the price was bouyant and the production figures were great i would find it difficult to sell...on the other hand if we were producing a couple of hundred barrels and yet more promise of more jam tomorrow i would exit around my break even of about 60p

good post donone. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that he will go off in another direction sooner or later . his wages in the last few years with the numerous failed AIM companies have been based on selling "the dream". and there are always happy clappers willing to buy in i have more faith in angus - let them get on with it.

london - i agree with you that could be a lot of selling as people get to break even. there are a number of resistance points i can see corresponding to certain points in the DOR timeline over the last few years i certainly will have a dilemma - relief/ pride at money back v greed of possibility of profit my suspicion is that kimmeridge at brockham will be the key point. if that hits pay dirt then we could really take off - and remember we still have HH. we know drilling is now expected next year at brock but what will they be targetting? when will they drill kimeridge it is going to be intriguing how it all pans out still no clearer if 1000's of barrels a day or a few hundred

haha...that depends on lenis expense account... I know cerp have said about 500 bopd will make them cash rich...guess it depends what your expansion plans are.

http://www.angusenergy.co.uk/media/interview-paul-vonk-at-121-oil-gas-investment-conference/ no mention of 400.....unless it was somewhere else? don't spoil my dreams!...

masterbaker - i didn't hear 400 mentioned? just that lidsey would self fund ..... I had hoped it was a clue that there was gonna be a lot more!

i am not sure i buy that leni is trying his hardest to make us all rich.....maybe himself....however if he gets my original stake back as a consequence then that will be great. i don't believe DOR will make me rich either.

evil - the trouble is leni has made it pretty clear that he want to grab stuff in the weald etc. So i wouldn't bet against there being a placing. especially if we get any sort of rise with production figures from lidsey. He went on ASX to be able to place in my opinion. He couldn't get away with it on NEX as there isn't any liquidity

yes we must be due an RNS soon on lidsey production figures. 300-400 barrels was the expectation. Not earth shattering but first step

I made back all my losses from Alba and some profit - getting out when it went up on the big spike. I have been in and out of angs a couple of times from the launch. Made some nice profit but in hindsight got out too early - i didn't see the jump from high teens to over 30p. The problem is that I wouldn't be comfortable going in at the current valuation - i tend to adopt a more cautious approach these days - but i agree they area much better company and being the operator should do better on news. i decided to limit my Weald exposure to DOR for the time being - since I kind of wrote the money off it means i am more relaxed about the whole thing. Though if big production figures start coming out I will do a rethink on Angs. All the best Captain

isas - I take your point on responding to non official requests.. I hadn't thought about that angle.Thanks for your post. In that case I wonder if they could have asked SCC for formal clarification months ago?

pa - it doesn't matter who was right. The reality is that if there is billions of barrels of oil - there has to be a good working relationship with SCC. They are petty bureacrats and you don't antagonise them. or if you do you will choke on red tape. they say jump you say how high. They gave warning they weren't happy. this should have been addressed months ago. if the application had been put in then it might well have been sorted by now. instead all the posturing has caused delays and i am sure the legal advice wasn't cheap. hopefully lessons have been learnt. patient? - we have been and will have to be more.

great! can't say i am surprised. i don't think the company helped itself earlier on in the year.

coffe cups - i think the objectives were sound - an exchange for small companies to develop - and there are success stories. I am very very heavily invested in 2 companies that i really see going somewhere. however you are right the system has been abused by some of the bods. When i see someone involved in half a dozen companies my alarm bell goes...they are drawing 6 lots of income and probably just signing their name on documents.you have to look at the nomads and regulatory body. why do they not act? hopefully sooner or later one of the cases against them will bring a sweeping change I like leni - he is charismatic larger than life and a very good public speaker. however he is what he is. look at the history.

hopefully the next RNS will give us production figures - expecting 300-400 barrels a day. nothing spectacular - but finally cash coming in my real hope is that soon there will be some tangible targets on extracting oil from kimmeridge at lydsey. i dont mean reference to we got a jar of sweet 41 api oil etc but an actual plan with timeline to tap into it.

plantman - i just don't think the market is reacting to increased % the way it used to. i think it wants to see production and actual figures,

GHR - Don't worry i intend to stick with AIM or main index. I can not envisage ever wanting to trade on NEX or ASX. I would say interesting times for the moment - but yes lets hope it gets exciting!

evil - I am with Hargreaves lansdown and use IG for data feeds. Neither of these can deal with NEX online. When we first were admitted to ISDX there was a lot of noise about it was going to happen imminently.It hasn't happened and Quite frankly I won't be holding my breath . Especially when I saw the guy in charge being interviews and his seemingly lack of ambition / drive in that direction.Quite frankly it is not acceptable in this day in age. After all Leni's talk on the main market I am no holding my breath on that either.We have no indication that anything has changed since he decided to drop the idea. So unfortunately that is just speculation however much we would all love to see it happen. If Leni does buy more licences will these be exploration or production? if it is exploration then you are quite right that it is going to take a very long time to get anywhere by past history. All the more reason to conserve cash and using it on getting production going to generate more cash. I take your point if they are production licences but my fear is that leni is just going to buy stuff in the hope that the prospect of more jam will attract investors to raise SP to lead to inevitable placings. The worry is that the market is no longer as generous of jam promises rather requiring actual production. i feel in the current economic climate this will only get worse
