... to see old Greta Thunderbird extolling the virtues of oil next...

I wouldn't want to be out of this over the next 18 months.

@Daceon Diesel £1.57 in East Anglia. Ironically some of my family who live in Rostov-on-Don told me within the last 48 hours that they're paying 36 Rubles a litre approx. 32p... They told me there were queues at the bank the other day and so I think Monday, today could be interesting for the currency... and the Russian banks.

The people are quite philosophical about everything and the sanctions don't seem to worry the ordinary people. They appear to be resigned to some deprivation but as one old babulya (babooshka) told me a few years ago after another round of sanctions by the US and EU (Could have been the Georgia events in 2007), "After years under Stalin and then the Fascistkii do you think anything you can do to us will hurt?" she was pretty indignant from what i remember and i guess they're still of the same attitude now.

Let's hope that calm heads prevail in Russia AND the West. We certainly live in interesting times.

Today would be a great day to get some good news from COPL!

DB

@Darren042... Yes sorry SYME!

Forgive me for the post... just having a bad night and needed to vent a bit.

Have a good weekend... and with a bit of luck we might get some news next week.

DB

...on my nightshift. I've done some research and my due diligence in COPL and I've invested a reasonable amount. Not as much as I would have liked but still a decent number. I'm looking forward to all the news landing over the next 5 weeks. I also look forward to the next 18 months with this stock.

For those that have ANY concerns or doubts the advice is simple. DO NOT INVEST! Put your money in the Post Office and ENJOY your 0.01% annual growth. Actually Vlad might have done you a favour as interest rates will probably go up a point or two.

One last thing... once you've decided NOT to invest, respectfully pleased don't waste your time here posting FUD. The Argo or Genedrive bb are good for that... poor barstewards.

Eloquently put TreeFern...

DB

… for COPL and this bb. Lots of good posts, all nice and civil. Just how I like it. Potential... controversial to some but I like the word AND it's better than a few other 'P' words I know.

I don't profess to be any kind of expert but I do know potential when I see it and COPL right now has bags of it. Or should I say drums! Like any stock there is potential (that word again) risk to your capital investment. Investing in COPL is no different.

Right now I wouldn't be anywhere else (although BOIL sounds interesting too) for a potential winner.

Wishing you all a peaceful night and to another good day ahead for COPLers.

I have family currently living in Rostov-on-Don and Crimea. They have told me about the thousands of old, women and children who have been evacuated from the Donbas and Lughansk regions. Of more significance is the call up of all men under 45 who are on the military reserve list. This is something that in the last few years has not been enforced but very recently it has started again. The timing is significant. I can also report an explosion occurring within the Rostov region that is being investigated by the Russian authorities. My feeling is that if this proves (who do you believe) to be an attack on Russian Federation territory then they will retaliate. For any Tank enthusiasts out there Rostov is the place to be!

Lots of games being played right now and I think the West...the Septics Deep State and NATO will be gutted if the Russians DON'T go in... Just my thoughts

... a relatively small investment in a good PR/IR team would pay for itself many times over. Utilise all the digital tools available to get the word out and promote the company. The current company website is dated and not user friendly but it probably wouldn't take too much to bring it up to speed. The current batch of PIs definitely deserve better comms from the company. In particular some of the longer term holders here (some for an incredible seven years waiting). There are probably people on this bb who would be capable of doing it for them... any volunteers?!

With all the criticism of the PR... in Art we have a genuine old school Oil Man who is able to almost like an oil diviner. We can buy in PR people but finding men like Arthur Millhollan... well, that's a rare commodity indeed.

DB

... some rainbow.

DB

...I forgot to add that already the board has informative posts. I am not ashamed to admit I know very little about O & G or the ascociated stocks. I'm still learning (and trying to work out some of the abreviations!) but with the posts here the jigsaw puzzle is starting to come together and the picture is getting clearer.

Many thanks

DB

... what on earth is going on? Blue not red... This isn't right!

Seriously though... This price is a bargain, just my opinion of course. My average is 36p and as far as I'm concerned that is dirt cheap too. I won't be selling a bean until at least the first quarterly report issued after Frontier starts producing. Even then I think I'll probably hold a little longer.

This stock in the next 12 to 18 months is easily £5 a share (I am being ultra conservative in this estimate). I hope it's more but I am very optimistic with this stock.

£2.75 and I can retire
£3.50 and I can comfortably retire
£5.70 and... oh Lord, I daren't think about it.

In the meantime patiently waiting for all the good news to come flowing in. Not long to wait now.

DB

...excellent post from Tiburn. Great knowledge of the company and good, common sense easy to understand posts.

We should be paying you!

DB

... simply because I have no significant cash reserves to buy more! I think anybody getting in now has done very well. Mentally I have zoomed out and just try to think of the bigger, longer-term picture. It's where COPL m/cap and sp are in H2 and Q1-Q3 2023 that are my periods of real interest. Of course by then a JV could be in place or even a T/O event. Who knows....

I wouldn't want to be out of this share over the next 18 months!

DB

... we need to set up another 'Squaddie Ltd' stock we an put a few quid in and chat about the 70s and 80s...
Under ponchos in Otterburn... Sennybridge and Dering Lines...

At least most of us are too old to be called up !

Hello 34quint... looks like it was a bit nippy there. Royal Engineers cap badge? At least you had the wonderful High Leg Combat Boot... that crippled a lot of us. I started off with wearing DMS and putees, no trouser blouser elasticated clips for me... not till post 84... I see you have what looks like a famed SAS Arctic Windproof Smock and NI gloves... and of course a superb SLR. Happy Days.

Anyway, what plans do you have for when COPL explodes... probably not the best wording to use for a Gas & Oil company!?

... of some excellent posts. Notably Tiburn... outstanding research and knowledge. The confidence in the longterm prospects for COPL really show in the posts and this in turn gives me confidence too. I've made a lot of mistakes over the last 10 months and I'm relying on COPL (along with another stock awaiting relisting) in coming good over the next 12 months.

My decision to invest in COPL was made relatively but I honestly believe that I have bought... almost a winning lottery ticket that I just have to cash in at the right time. Just a matter of biding your time and being patient.

Good Luck

DB

... if there were to be a complete T/O what would the likely time scales be for completion and for 'money in the bank' for the shareholders be? There would obviously be a shareholder vote to either accept or reject the offer and if it were accepted I presume the stock would be suspended for a while.

I ask this question to the bb as I have no experience where a stock I hold has been taken over but I would guess the experienced Oil & Gas people here have a much better opinion of this than I do.

Another question - All things being equal and assuming (I know you should never do that but...) a favourable or better CPR, what is the likelihood of a T/O or JV? Just a rough percentage guess. Personally i will sit on the fence and say a 50% - 75% chance of it happening BUT I'm basing it on very little evidence.

(Turns around and walks back to the suspect) "Just one more thing..." What sort of offer do you think 1.5Bbl OIP would generate for COPL and its shareholders? I'm guessing a low of 750M to a high of 3B US Dollars (and anywhere inbetween). But what do I know? (very little about O & G it seems but everyday I learn a little more) In the meantime I'm just looking forward to the CPR, Cuda data and the result 30th March.

Patience, patience and more patience is the watchword now...

DB

... why over the next 12 months the sp could NOT reach £5... £10 or even £15 (or even more if you believe some people)?

Before you answer, exclude the following scenarios: -
Arthur was having us on all along and is now in a home for distressed oilmen
The price of Brent/WTI drops to £3 a barrel
We get T/O with an offer for £1.50 a share which incredibly gets accepted by all the holders
...and the usual Acts of God, War, Famine, locusts etc...

I make a joke (yeah I know don't give up your day job) but for the life of me right now I cannot see what will stop this stock from rising many fold once it gets independent confirmation i.e. CPR and the first wells are set up in August 2022. Think what the M/Cap will be in August 2023... just 18 months away. As for T/Os we have to be looking at 1B as a minimum surely? To the big players that is almost chicken feed.

All I know is if I had some spare cash I know where I'd be putting it. Right I'm off... up at 0415 to do a 12 hour shift... home by 1900hrs AND you wonder why I need this to get to £3.50 - then I can comfortably retire. See, I told you I had an agenda!

Good Night...

DB

...about this bb. Take Stas20s post at 1131. Excellent, common sense and giving us a bit of Opex too. Great post in my opinion (no we're not related). There will always be characters who post with some sort of agenda. Some are even paid per post... I still find it hard to believe that actually happens.

I have an agenda. I want the stock to rise in value. When it gets to a certain value I will sell some or even all of my holding. I'm not asking anybody to buy, sell or hold. We're all adults and you make your own decisions. For what it is worth and being open I can tell you I increased my holding with a purchase of 100k of stock. I have a reasonable investment in the stock now and will if I can release funds to get some more if I can and if the sp hasn't rapidly headed north. As well as paid rampers/derampers I still cannot believe the sp is still so low. But maybe I'm less risk averse than your average financial analyst.

To all the COPL experts on here who give their time and share their experience with us on this bb THANK YOU!

“Opportunities multiply as they are seized"... Another of Tzu's. Applicable to a lot of our investing. Just have to have the instinct to recognise them and the conviction to take the risk involved.
