It's easy to get suspicious when one doesn't fully understand the mechanism, but of the day's 852,824 trading volume, 281,101 shares were bought in the 38 minutes after market close, with that significant one of 200,000 @ only 22p

Then, at 17:08hrs, someone bought 200,000 at 22p.

I know we've discuss strange trades before, mainly about very low numbers and whether these are MM signals as some have suggested, but we didn't reach an agreed conclusion.
Today from 14:13 to 14:16hrs there were 15 identical sell trades, one after the other, of 15,000 shares each, all at 23.29p (that's 225,000 shares in all over 3 minutes).
Maybe not so strange to some here, but I was intrigued.

Regarding PoO, I don't why everyone's so over-preoccupied by the PoO now.
While it will affect PMO's revenues, as far as SL is concerned, TD and his BoD are more concerned about what is't likely to be at first oil and beyond and then how long that'll last.

As for Fgawdssake, Ollieybabes, Ralphy and the rest of them, if they really are invested in RKH, then they have to be insane to post relentless trashing of the company and wishing the sp down to 15p, or whatever, but never providing any evidence - no one in their right mind would do such a thing, so either they're crackers, or de-rampers.

As for Ralphy, he now admits to buying at 92p, but still regularly makes angry and destructive posts, talking about the sp falling to 15p, but never substantiating anything, so he's just a nutcase, or a liar, so either way we should laugh at them all for their stupidity.

Not sure the Macaronis will settle the OM claim, or even if they try, that RKH (or their lawyers) would accept, because the Italian state is notoriously dishonest/corrupt.
If a claim is settled out-of-court in Italy, it's very likely there'd be a change of government before it's paid and then the new govt. would simply refuse to honour the debt of the previous one.

That's why this claim followed the ECT process and not through the Italian Courts, where not only is the process unbelievably slow and convoluted, but if we achieved a favourable judgement, the chances of it being paid would be virtually zero.
However, the ECT is a different kettle of fish, so to settle now, when judgement is only a couple of months away, would be bonkers.

come on Ralphy, you can do better than that, surely?

SK, it's all very fine/easy for you to say "Sorry, you, and the BoD, are living in a dreamworld", but you don't come up with an alternative proposal, just like the other idiots on the RKH BB.

Come on - if you're going to shoot us down, then come up with something better or keep quiet.

Additional funding to RKH, from whatever source, won't make the difference to starting SL production, except that it will contribute to RKH's continuing independence and not being taken out, as its cash runs out.

Ralphy, you say: "Sadly, the isolation of the FI has cost us here, finds of any note in the North Sea discovered in 2010 are already producing , RKH/PMO haven't even cut a single piece of sheet metal for a rig etc for this project", and I think that's the problem - it's so remote that it didn't take much to derail the project timetable.

Setting up all the facilities in such a remote place, with hostile neighbours was never going to be easy and very expensive.
After the Deepwater Horizon disaster, that made things even more tricky, so it shouldn't be a surprise that this thing's taking much longer to get approved than we'd have liked.

At this rate, I can see us actually agreeing about something!

Ralphy, you say "What if FID is pushed back, what if etc.?", which would indeed have been bad news, but the post I was referring to wasn't a "what if?", but a definite statement of "fact", which turned out to be untrue.

So yes, if someone had asked perfectly reasonable questions, others here would probably have tried to answer sensibly, but this misleading statement of "fact" caused quite a bit of anxiety amongst those who were already worried/anxious.

Thanks Nigoil and that's the point I'm making, which is these guys throw in what some could interpret as bad (or at least worrying news), but without a shred of evidence to support it.
Like another poster the other day who produced something that said FID had now been postponed to the end of 2019, which caused quite a stir here. Then it turned out that that "news" was paraphrasing an announcement made by TD in May 2018 and the writer didn't know the difference between FID & sanction.

That might have been enough for a worried/spooked investor to throw in the towel, when in fact, it was completely untrue.

and yes it IS getting boring, but it's too important to allow to continue, if some investors throw in the towle because they've been misled and then lose their savings because of that.

I haven't said that posters aren't entitled to have a negative opinion, but if they do, then at least support it with just one bit of evidence, or argument and Sam's hairstyle isn't enough.

Let those who support the bastards (because they seem unable to do it themselves) produce just one of their postings, which provided reasoned, factual support to their repeated whinging posts.

I completely agree, BUT, I've given this quite a bit of thought and the de-rampers are coming here with only one objective, which is to spook the timid/despairing into selling-out at the bottom so that they can mop them up at a discount.
Why have they chosen RKH out of thousands of potential listed companies? No doubt they’re doing the same thing elsewhere too, but RKH looks a particularly good one, as it’s an almost dead cert that FID will be announced early next year, drilling in Egypt is looking better than many had expected and the ECT ruling, expected in February, looks increasingly positive, with the Italian Government beginning to flap. Taking advantage of the Christmas lull and the market unease about World trade and the PoO could be the last opportunity for these bastards to spook worried/unsure RKH investors.
When the good news comes, probably early 2019, these same bastards will be the first to sell their ill-gotten shares back to the same punters, who then realise they got it wrong and are scrambling to get back in again.

Some reply, saying that’s ridiculous - how can they possibly influence the market by posting here? With very low trading volumes at the moment, particularly over the Christmas period, it doesn’t take many trades to set a trend and you can see this if you look at the individual trades at the moment and the daily volumes.

These bastards come here every day, repeatedly posting negative comments, which they don’t even substantiate with any reasoned argument, or facts. One even resorted to insulting Sam’s hairstyle.
Our BOD may not have got it 100% right all the time, but I think they’ve steered us safely through a very bad period, when many others have disappeared and we’re still here and solvent.

These bastards pick on me particularly, because I argue my case with facts, which they don’t like (because they don’t have any themselves) and they see my arguments as being pretty solid, but even I’m careful enough to warn people that this isn’t a one-way bet – things could go wrong.
I’m called “Hitler”, “Fuhrer”, etc., which gives me confidence that I’ve hit the bulls-eye with these bastards. If that’s the only way they can respond, it tells me that they have no arguments to support their idiotic posts.

We come here to “discuss” and to learn and exchange ideas, but these bastards come here to disrupt and hopefully steal the discarded RKH shares of those who aren’t sure any more and maybe need some money, so sell-up in despair, some of which is brought about by the relentless negative postings of these bastards.

So while I agree with you about the idiotic exchanges, these bastards aren’t intending to go away until they’ve got what they want and then suddenly, they’ll vanish, just as they did before.
Perhaps you could help us, by standing up to their selfish and unhelpful posts, so that we can return to the useful stuff, from the likes of Mogger, Comertoes and the other genuine posters.

Hello Ralphy - at it again?

Maybe, for the first time you'd like to explain the reasoning behind your posting.

So you're telling the doubters to sell now are you? As I said, predatory de-ramper .

Also as I said before: Eff off.

Well said Nigoil, and for anyone reading this thinking of selling now: DON'T.

The likes of Kurgy, Ralphy and the CarrotNibbler are de-rampers and they'd happily steal the shares you sell in a panic at around 20p and then sell them back to you as you scramble to get back in, for 40p, 50p, or if the news is very good, 60p or more, probably early next year.
As Nigoil says, They're probably one-and-the-same person - certainly Kurgy & Ralphy, as they both post at the same time and then tick each other up.

The very fact that they call me "Hitler", "Fuhrer", etc. shows what they're really like and that Nigoil and I have sussed them out as the predatory de-rampers they are

Hang on to your RKH shares, they're bloody gold dust and if you can buy more at these prices, do so, but whatever else you do, don't hand over your shares to these predatory bastards.

P.S. about no FID this year, that really took some thinking luckyman, as there hardly any of 2018 left and no one's going to announce anything like that now, are they?

Bloody 'ell, is everyone on drugs, or taking extra-strong sedatives?

Well of course it doesn't, because SL's years off being an oil producer, nit wit.

Bit like the idiots who say that the doom & gloom about Brexit never happened after the referendum as forecast. Well of course it didn't because we haven't left the EU yet.

For Christ's sake, try and keep your brain in gear!

Sanction probably, but completely disagree about FID, as SL is the main prospect for PMO to be able to pay-down their debt mountain more quickly and time is marching on.

Zama-1 appraisal isn't far away and the general consensus is that once PMO has a proper valuation of it, that will provide verifiable collateral and then be sold-off to the highest bidder.

TD would much prefer to be in control of PMO's destiny and getting SL going sooner and disposing of Zama-1is the most probable outcome, so FID much more likely to be earlier in 2019.

Well of course the SL project has to be approved and sanctioned first - that's a dazzling glimpse of the bleedin' obvious.
However, if you buy RKH shares now, when the value of SL and the rest of the FI region is calculated at virtually zero, then assuming the project goes ahead (and that's the big bet, which I reckon WILL go ahead), then you're getting double bubble - i.e. oil currently valued at virtually nothing AND eventually valued in $US.
