French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said Europe must prepare for Russian gas deliveries to be shut off entirely in retaliation for the region’s sanctions on the Kremlin and support for Ukraine.

“Let’s prepare ourselves for a total cut-off of Russian gas,” Le Maire said at an economic conference in Aix-en-Provence, southern France, on Sunday. “That’s the most likely scenario today.” (Bloomberg)

... he sounds very desperate to get some sort of positive spin (rumour) on ukog, at any cost to his ever shrinking credibility…
------------------
I had assumed my credibility amongst naysayers on this board was zero so am pleasantly surprised it is simply shrinking.

Anybody who expresses a positive opinion on UKOG on this, or a rival, board must expect to be contradicted by the naysayers.

But the recent AGM showed that naysayers are in the minority amongst voting shareholders in the company.

So the naysayers are perfectly entitled to express their opinions (provided they adhere to lse's guidelines) but speak for themselves and for nobody else.

PS How come the great simon_cawkwell didn't post on the threads with his name on?
----------------
Presumably he had other things to do than put his name on a thread.

Perhaps if you posted the evidence that simon_cawkwell actually bought the shares you would have some credibility.
-----------------
I refer you to your post of 12:18, Ibug, where you present the evidence.

With all due respect, Ibug, you are an anonymous poster who posts on the board of one AIM-listed company, UKOG.

Simon Cawkwell (aka Evil Knievil) is a well-known share trader and short-seller who has posted on advfn under his real name.

There is a credibility gap and it is not in your favour.

3 weeks on, Simon Cawkwell's post no. 154236 of Friday evening, 17/06 on advfn has not been deleted, so almost all can now accept it is genuine.

"My 12 months target is 1.5p".

It is an interesting post which may give some cause for reflection.

On calendars in Germany’s industrial heartland and the halls of power in Berlin, July 11 has been marked in red for weeks.

When the main conduit for Russian gas to Europe goes down for 10-day maintenance on Monday, Germany and its allies are bracing for President Vladimir Putin to use the opportunity to cut off flows for good.

If Moscow signals the Nord Stream pipeline won’t come back as planned, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government would likely trigger emergency measures such as rationing and company bailouts. The consequences would almost certainly mean a deep recession for Europe’s largest economy and create ripple effects across the continent.

“Are we worried? Yes, we’re very worried,” said Christian Kullmann, chief executive officer of German chemical giant Evonik Industries AG. “It would be naive and starry-eyed not to be worried.”

Given Germany’s dependence on Russia for more than a third of its gas supplies and a lack of viable alternatives in the short term, the chance to inflict damage on Europe in retaliation for sanctions and support for Ukraine may be too good for the Kremlin to pass up ...

Western nations made a mistake by imposing energy sanctions on Russia, and if they persist with further restrictions it will be a catastrophe for global markets, said President Vladimir Putin.

“Sanctions restrictions on Russia cause much more damage to those countries that impose them,” Putin said on Friday at a meeting with government officials that was broadcast on Rossiya 24 TV. “Further use of the sanctions policy may lead to even more severe, without exaggeration, even catastrophic consequences for the global energy market.” ...

Bought in on a 12-month view: 3 weeks is not 12 months.

For those interested in Simon Cawkwell's post of Friday evening, 17/06 on advfn, it's on the thread with lots of posts and go to: 154236.

Their tweet of 05/07 certainly sounds positive: " ... And now for July!".

Volume of 22.4m, 6th biggest volume stock on the market, as per a rival site.

Note: GROC has released a 2nd RNS re the granting of a total of 1m options to Stefan Bernstein: they are all exercisable at a price of 10p, each year from 01/07/23 to 01/07/25 inclusive.

GROC's current price is 5.50p.

Stefan Bernstein, GreenRoc’s CEO, commented: “The grant of this licence allows us to consolidate our
landholding around the Kalaaq deposit, including the area immediately south of the known Kalaaq
graphite discovery, in addition to securing new zones which contain graphite-rich showings. These
areas have not been subject to modern exploration techniques and only a few have been sporadically
sampled in the past. As such, they offer GreenRoc the potential to reveal new graphite discoveries
contiguous to Amitsoq, proven to be one of the highest-grade graphite projects in the world.
“With this additional ground now included in GreenRoc’s new Exploration Licence, the team and I are
excited about the future potential for identifying an additional mineralised graphite zone outside the
primary target zones to the south of the Kalaaq Deposit. In my view, this provides further evidence
that the Amitsoq Project has the potential to be one of the most strategically valuable graphite assets
globally.
We look forward to providing further news flow from Amitsoq during this summer as we seek an
upgrade and increase of the existing Mineral Resource there.”

Because you think ocelot is a well-known trader and short-seller known to lse?

You flatter me.

You are barking up the wrong tree, Ibug.

Simon Cawkwell is a well-known figure in the world of share trading and is known to advfn.

The idea that advfn would allow an impostor to open an account in his name is, imho, absurd.

You've lost me, why have you posted a list of thread titles?

Ibug,

You can't recognise a post by Simon Cawkwell on advfn when you see one, can you?

Is that because his purchase of UKOG shares runs counter to your negative agenda?

That'll be the 16:29:04 trade at 1.425p. Closing price per the London Stock Exchange: 1.38p, ie 1.375p.
