Disciple I like the Poker analogy. But you know the big oil and companies will play the person (the small pil and gas companies) rather than the hand - so they don't need the Ace (permits) to show their hand

Jptop exactly permits are the bargaining tool. Nicely stated :)

JaiBaba - good post mate - I think we can only.really speculate on what AST will accept as reasonable offers and this will obviously be more than share options to make it worth their while. That's the bottom line. I particularly like your sentence as it hits the nail on the head "I feel the companies who are not in a rush for the permits will be eager to wrap this up before anymore interest." These big oil and gas companies will get in early with an offer, to control the bidding war so the smaller players have the follow their lead. They might even make such a good offer off the bat which the smaller companies who feel they need the permit won't be able to compete with. Hardy - in distress? No. Laid out on a silver player more like IMHO. If you know much about business Hardy you'll know one company takes a business to a certain level then another business takes it over with more experience of working at that new level.

True bradus plus it's better to rise a bit each day, higher highs lower lows than to gap up as gaps are generally filled. I'd settle for 10% more gains today IMHO GLA DYOR. Anyone will L2?

And when you say "AIM is weird" do you mean sentiment driven? The cc improved sentiment that's all. The herd who didn't dial in on Tuesday will have had the chance to listen to the recordijg posted yesterday afternoon..exect another blue day IMHO hence the reason why Hardy (who probably is shorting - he's said he isn't invested here) has popped up this morning.

Disciple - in the LSE interview yesterday Colin mentioned that big oil amd gas companies in the SR wouldn't feel the need to wait for permits to make an offer. But some would. IMHO this means offer may come before around the end of September...did you conclude this from the interview?

Hardy you aren't invested here - so why are you here? You sold out last year over 2p remember? When you sold did you take out a short?

Gino your post make you sound very silly and you start by throwing insults. Do some more research and you'll realise why. My guess if you've doke no research beyond reading comments on this bb then just contrarily taken an offer suggestion and presented lower figures. I'm not going to do your research for you but I'll give you a few clues - a minimum has already been suggested in recent comms, share options will dictate a minimum the BoD would offer to shareholders, the handful of companies still in the SR know this will know this minimum. They won't with everyones time with silly offers. It's basic business. DYOFR

I'd be very surprised if offer wasn't 3p+ and within the next fortnight if not sooner IMHO GLA DYOR remember the big oil and gas companies (so they're speaking to BIG companies!) Know the permits will be granted eventually anyway, so won't let that stop them making offers.

Remachin I agree also did you aee how Colin qas glowing and holding back big smiles in yesterday's LSE interview. He knows the size of the offers on the table and I say offers I think there's a few. Way over £50m IMHO. Anyone who can read body language can tell this IMHO GLA DYOR.

Yes hopfully WO :)

Hawaii 5 0 - agreed silly undervalued share price at the moment imo

TPT - lol

Kelsbells I'll send you a post card when the fast train arrives. Remind me of your address is it still Deramper Rock in Slime City overlooking Shorter's Retreat or have you wised up and changed your view?

CHOO CHOO!!! lol ;)

Kelsbells - I just have 2 words to say to you...

ValJu well said :)

Awax beauifully stated: "Normally like to think that the ability to see beyond the horizon helps......but with AST it's not as far as that"

Lovejoy why so serious Ian McShane?

Nice one Washers :)
