Hey Dave, maybe I am confused & feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I originally only held 44,000 shares & now my Market Master is showing 225. My investment was only £2K. My maths equate to 225 x 8.8 = £1980........not quite £2K but not far short & at earlier prices I was actually in profit............or am I missing something - apart from the fact that I can't trade them? Crude

9.40 - I'm in the money! Only trouble is I couldn't trade them if I wanted to as Barclays haven't written to me yet advising how to do it.......................... Crude

Dave, at 9 I'm in profit.......I can hardly believe it! Trouble is to my knowledge Barclays still haven't worked out a way to trade them.......unless anyone knows different? Crude

Same here Barnepeter, I applied for 2 million & HL have deducted the cash (temporarily) until the allocation is finalised. Crude

So for me to break even at today's exchange rate I need 2.2575 Krona (about £20 per share)..................... But still waiting for confirmation from Barclays as to how to trade them. If they open at 3 Krona I will bite their hands off! Crude.......hopeful!

Redgreenlife, for clarity please read my 07.41 post. Crude

Denzil, fair enough. Just have to hope then.......

Soz, I think I only held 200,000 shares & not 250,000 in case anyone is querying my maths.........

Denzil, I was amazed that from about 250,000 shares I was allocated my full ask of a million. If my other 2 million are allocated that implies a 5-1 ratio - every 1 share I held I received 5 back. That seems to be the yardstick unless anyone else can shed further light? Cheers, Crude

nennyb, If anyone on the AIM can produce results for shareholders it is James & Marco.........what a double act! But we will need to know how they will consolidate the share base & in what form they intend to raise money...only then will we have an idea of how many 'pence' on the share price is attainable. Crude.......looking forward to that journey.

I think I only had around 200,000 shares in my Barclays account but I seem to have been allocated my full 1 million request of shares at a cost of £600. That sounds excessive. I only held about 400,000 in my HL account so I wonder if the 2 million I requested will be allocated. 3 million shares for a cost of £1800 sounds good but how much will they be rendered down to when the inevitable consolidation happens. I had thought 10-1 but now think at least 20-1, which would leave me with 150,000 shares. Still, if they were to reach 10p that is £15K......heck 5p or even a few pence would still represent a huge profit. I had thought about a quick sale, let the sp settle down & repurchase, but for an initial £1800 outlay (I am sure I will add a lot more) I think I will hold rather than twist! Crude

Matra Petroleum has been approved for listing on Nasdaq First North and publishes company description Matra Petroleum AB (publ) ("Matra Petroleum" or the "Company") has been approved for listing on Nasdaq First North. Trading in Matra Petroleum's shares is planned to commence on 20 April 2017 under the ticker symbol "MATRA". In connection to the listing of the Company shares on Nasdaq First North the Company has prepared a company description (the "Company Description") which as of today is available on Matra Petroleum's website, www.matrapetroleum.com and on Mangold Fondkommission's website www.mangold.se. The listing on Nasdaq First North Matra Petroleum believes that the significant decline in the crude oil and gas prices between 2014 and 2016, opens up opportunities for companies with access to capital to acquire and develop low-risk producing oil and gas assets with attractive risk/return characteristics. Matra Petroleum considers that the listing will offer the Company and its shareholders a number of benefits, including: Support for the Company's objective to develop and acquire producing oil and gas properties going forward; Enhancing the profile of Matra Petroleum's business and status with existing and potential business partners; Improved access to the capital market and liquidity for the Company's shareholders; and Increased flexibility in reviewing and capitalizing on growth opportunities. Background Earlier in 2017, Matra Petroleum broadened its Swedish shareholder base through a private placement directed to qualified investors and a public offering. In total the Company raised SEK 48.5 million at SEK 10 per share representing a pre-money valuation of SEK 370 million and a fully diluted post money valuation of SEK 415 million. The Company's CEO Maxim Barskiy is the main shareholder controlling approximately 63% of the Company's shares through companies. The Company's chairman Eric Forss, privately and through company, holds approximately 5% of the shares. Crude........... Texas Panhandle here we come.....yeeeeeee Haaaw!

I used to hold 40,000 shares. I looked just now & Barclays have me down for owning 232,115...........?

I have phoned Barclays twice recently & they assure me that they are in communication with Matra & as soon as they can resolve how these shares can be traded they will let customers know. So I would advise investors to contact their Brokers to obtain similar assurances. Crude............two shares in my current portfolio.........the other one is Sound Energy (long term holder)........................

Jonjo, that'l be me..........I'm over on Sound Energy these days. How are you doing?

Taylorsan, I just sat down to read Money Week & sure enough reading that article pointed me to this Company. I usually only invest in oil & gas but having previously read about Graphine (again in MW a year ago) my ears are starting to prick up. Time to conduct some research I feel.......... Crude

Dave, that is just what I had been thinking; what is the point of re-listing unless there is something tangible happening that the market can react to. My MTA shares are in Barclays & so I guess I will have to gain access to their international trading - Market Master doesn't allow for that. I only have 40,000 shares so no big deal but will be interesting to see if I can at least get my money back......... maybe even make a profit or even hold for some action!

Could this be the Second Coming? Is Maxim Barsky a latter day Jesus Christ or indeed a 'Mosses', who can lead the bewildered disciples to the 'Promised Land of Profit'? Is the 'advent' of a Stockholm Exchange listing like the guiding North Star* to the Three Wise Kings...............all these questions & answers will hopefully come to pass - when a child is born! Crude.........show us a sign oh Lord Barsky!

MrB, you've done well if you have been invested since 2006. My only current investment is Sound Energy & I have been invested since 2010............think we are both doing pretty well! I should be able to retire in comfort with SOU!

I have just found out that several restaurants in the Hospital I work at are being taken over by Compass - is this a good thing I ask myself? What are Compass like? Are they successful? Crude
