Nah. Very few rampers here. Most of us just call it the way we see it. There is a very bitter de-ramper but you'll spot him easily. He's much more sedate on ADVFN - just comes over here to vent.

He was being sarcastic. Like many of us he is quite surprised at the fact that the sp has not risen in some time despite very good RNSs recently.

Ashton, he doesn't say anywhere in that post that he bought today!!

Lots of sells but over £100,000 bought too.

Yep Granto, I hear you. But sentiment seems to have a bigger influence than I thought and the price of oil has hit us hard (although not as hard as most other oil companies). The economy being poor and the Greek situation hasn't helped either. Hopefully, as the months go by these things will improve and with a decent stream of very good RNSs like the last few the sp should rise considerably.

Nice to see Duster acknowledge all the positive news. Pity he wasn't man enough to acknowledge it when it was happening but rather chose to acknowledge it when the sp dropped in line with the vast majority of oil companies. There's surely better ways of highlighting one has lost lots of money on Ptr than trying to put it down when it has completely rejuvenated itself and is doing excellently.

I've seen this all before: posers using first names of directors as though they were their best mates, singing their praises, admiring their integrity, posters supporting the share like it's a football club. Posters (especially the deluded rampers) attacking other posters who express a genuine concern on any issue of governance because the former deem it to be remotely negative or de-ramping. As the share price dwindles the rampers become even more defensive and stupidly believe every lie they're being told by the bod, all the while savaging anyone who comments realistically on their beloved company. Then the sp reaches losses of 97, 98, 99% and still the deluded hang on to every utterance of a board who have consistently misled them for years. The posters who expressed concerns throughout the journey point out that what happened was utterly predictable to those not deluded. The deluded then attack them again for wallowing in small shareholders' misery when all the former are doing is seeking some sort of acknowledgement that the rampers were wrong for attacking them every time they expressed a genuine concern about the bod's activities. Then some companies go into suspension and STILL the deluded believe. Finally, the penny drops and the deluded, having finished attacking the posters who were right all along, turn on their best mates on the bod and want to sue them for gross incompetence etc etc. These bod's who the rampers held in the highest of esteem are now crooks, thieves, robbers etc when all they did was play the 'rape-the-PI' game, almost always to the letter of the law. Suing them is a complete waste of time for small investors. Look at Matra, Txo, Afren, Trp and many, many others. Exactly what I've just said happened and it'll happen again and again as long as there are small, private investors stupid enough to 'support' these companies with their hearts instead of whatever brains they have left. The lesson I've learned is always, always, always read everything you read about a company with total objectivity. Believe no-one, especially on discussion boards, but never run down a well worded 'negative' concern without giving it serious thought. I read a poster on another thread (this poster regularly is in the top 5 'most recommended' poster on LSE) stating categorically that shorting a share is immoral. He received numerous 'recommends' from the deluded on that share discussion board. It's the stock market ffs. So now making money on the stock market is immoral because you short a share? Show bod's the same loyalty they show us - absolutely none. Make money clinically and f*ck the begrudgers. Kea is gone, long die Kea.

I like it. No bs. No ambiguity.

I'm sensing that some people will never, ever learn. It's poignant really although a bit embarrassing to observe.

Click on FAST share charts above and then click on 2 years. It's been a complete disaster with no real hope. Just another gamble.

Ahem. Brave trader. Let it go. Read the previous couple of posts. You're kinda embarrassing us now.

They're up to something, that's for sure. I'm just very pleased to see the sp rise about 33% over two days.

I was hoping for a 4p finish by Friday evening. Could be 5p at this rate.

I presume by 'non-performance' Spritefan meant non-performance of the sp. The secret I was referring to is the fact that Ptr are in excellent condition. Not only are they debt-free but they have tens of millions of dollars to spend on their programs. The company have got very good results since this drilling program began and their performance overall has improved. I look at numerous oilies every day - at one point some of them with far less or no production compared to PTR, AND debt had only slightly lower sps. I have even questioned what the hell the two marketing companies Ptr have contracted are doing. Spritefan, in case you think I'm one of those insane rampers check out my previous posts - I call it honestly. The secret that I hope is out (to repeat myself) is that Ptr are a debt-free, cash comfortable, oil-producing company and the current sp is not a fair valuation of the company. I don't subscribe to the 40p/50p predictions that we read about companies far smaller than Ptr but I'd be happy to the current sp doubled in the short-term (6 months) and, with all hopes concerning oil companies, subject to decent results maybe to hit 15p in the longer term.

So good I posted it twice!!

Looks like either the market has woken up to an oil-producing company with money in the bank and/or there's a leak about the next RNS. Either way it's nice to see the sp finally rise substantially.

*Ptr!

Couple of buys gone in at the close on the ISEQ. Wonder if that'll happen here. Regarding Natlata, I think it's great news that they are still investing in Pte. It'll keep the bod on thee toes.

No it's not typical. It's crudde but not typical. If selling was typical how do you explain the buys today? How do you explain the price rising the other day? There are more sells than buys today (so far). The sp is disappointing but try to add some substance to your constant moaning. And grow up, use the name you use on ADVFN. Be a man.
