The mice ,(MMs), played . But that was only up to 13.00 today Then the cat got the message out: " knock it off. It's not tlme to let the price rise yet . And the MMs did what they were told, and there was no more buying, and the spread widened , and the sp fell back. Bit of a parable ,isn't it ?

I think it's all about to change. For the better, papaduke!

You surpassed yourself there. Well said!!

Succinct and accurate post! In other words CH has spent three years raising a host of questions but providing no answers whatsoever . Get your finger out man. Tell us something genuine!!

Anyone who believes that the shenanigans with the SP are solely the work of the MM's needs to drop in to see a shrink. With the news and the activity we've had over the past three years this should be at least 10p and, left to them, ( the MM's) they would have it so. But there is a hand much closer to the BOD who has been calling the shots here. And they will continue to do so until whatever brought about this "management" is resolved in the way the company desires.

Personally I've had quite enough of it. No wonder there isn't a shred of confidence in anything CH says. But then he never was a reputable oilman.

I am a large PI and even at todays SP I am not losing. My average buy price was well under 2p. And since my last buy I have sold quite a few shares so that my remaining holding is without cost. all 12+ Million shares, So........

All the pleas by Papa and the foolish suggestions by JO about distant timelines, plus the voice of reason nonsense from banburyboy don,t carry a gram of common sense. One of the reasons I don't post very much is that I know it's just a waste of time. The only way to get a worthwhile answer is to speak personally to CH, but I doubt he'd allow that. I'm still convinced that the company is "managing "the sp. This is now looking like a classic stitch up being managed by a bunch of incompetents.Was I right for the past three years!!

It has frequently been mentioned that CH reads this BB. If so he'll, by now, be well aware of the poor impression he is creating in relation to his credibility. I am still convinced that the SP is being managed with connivance from the company. It is preposterous that the SP is where it is and after at least four years nothing has been producd from Paradox. More and more investors are now dubious about anything CH says.Time he did something fruitful or came clean.He is not an oilman and never was. He's a non op investor looking for a way out of a complex Paradox situation!

The idea that because they are negotiating with possible partners and that excuses them letting the ar-e fall out of the SP is a nonsense. There are many ways in which the SP can be protected to some degree. That's the work of good management.What' s the point of saying that good news is imminent, and about to be prolific when months have passed with no effective news whatsoever. Get a grip of yourselves Zphr posters!

Even I'm beginning to teeter towards a loss on my investment here!!

An interesting post. I was in GGP when itwas greatland Gold and I witnessed at least three investors gain a million pounds from their investments, so I decided to seek an Aim Oiler or gold prospector to see if I could mirror that experience. So I chose Zepher as my target because I liked the management and their apparent enthusiasm and work ethic. Plus the fact that I was able to begin buying in with a couple of million shares at .58p.For the first year or so I thought I had hit the jackpot in relation to achieving. But shortly afterward (around the 7p point), the wheels began to come off in a management sense.And like most Aim management the news became less upbeat and the SP began to drift. If I were to set A tlme scale on the downturn I would point it towards the beginning of the Nonops period.

I was originally so impressed with the management but ,(as in your football analogy, and like so many AIM management teams),they seem to lack consistency and energy.

I still hope to achieve my ambition here but I've lost a good deal of my assurance here. Go Well.

Like you I've been in here for almost five years. My largest single trade was 7178000 shares at 1.67p but I also bought several million shares at less than 1p. I should have sold out when it reached 7.1p but because I was a bit short of the £1m net I had set out to gain I didn't do so. I have bought and sold since and I now hold over 12M shares and I am still in profit , and my ambition hasn't changed. So,come on Zephyr, get the show on the road. That's all I want!!

Just about the best and most accurate pair of posts here for a long time. Smack on.

A large spread usually means that the MMs want to discourage buyers. But since those deals were made on Friday they were not related to todays spread in any case. Anyway 8m shares in trades is hardly significant when related to Zephr just now.

You seem to forget ,(M Tucker), that I have been saying what I say for three years now, but I don't think you understand it. I have been saying, in effect, that Zephr has a prospective buyer but the buyer will only buy a t a certain priceThat will suit the large shareholders in Zephr down to the ground .Tell me why nothing has yet been produced from Paradox and why the relatively cheap gas infrastructure hasn't been completed! Fits better than your "forced seller" commentary ! Whatever that means !

This outfit could go bust . Or it could find a buyer or farninee and reach 15p. Those are the alternatives.

... is that there has been collusion to keep Zephyr at an artificially low SP, making it attractive to a buyer. Otherwise can anyone explain to me why nothing has been produced from Paradox , and why the relatively cheap infrastructure has never been completed. Why the CPR was so long delayed, and why important news has completely dried up apart from developments in the Nonops which does not affect the SP.

The BOD has a duty to all shareholders to be clear about what ls going on here.Speak out CH. Your reputation is now at stake.

In general I have a great deal of faith in what ADodon 30 says , but not this time. It doesn't take a month to agree upon the price at which the gas will be sold and the work relatinn to the pipeline is not expensive and ,anyway , it ought to have been completed yonks ago.

If Zephyr is in serious negotiations with a buyer or a farminee they should be able to indicate that those negotiations are progressing in a positive manner. No non allowed information there! The company has a duty to provide assurance to its shareholders.

What appears to be the case is that they do not want to produce from Paradox nor do they want to spend money which they believe should be the responsibility of the new owner or farminee.

Come on CH respect your current shareholders!!

Well summarised Hydras. I don't know whether you noticed how nervous and shifty looking CH was in the last interview he gahe about three weeks ago. I did . CH is a dealer and not an oilman. Dealing with the nonops is more his metier. The only question I ask myself is why the institutional investors remain invested here if Zephr hasn't got a future because they will have been appraised of the actual state of play by the company ,and they wouldn't have taken part in the last placing if there was bad news anticipated.

There are many ways in which the BOD could enliven the SP but my opinion remains that they are still managing the SP in order to please the favoured bidder.Time will tell, but one wishes they'd get the proverbial finger out.

Hi Banburyboy is that they never intended to produce from Paradox but to sell it to a much bigger developer. Hence the develop of the nonops which they will keep. Hence Hawk.Unfortunately finding the purchaser is proving to be a slow progress.I've only stayed for the past couple of years because That's my conjecture and I have a large investment here.

Just look at the lack of news , the virtual disappearance of CH, the tardiness of the infrastructure development . At this stage of development ZPHR should be in the 10ps, nor languishing in the 2-3 p range. Come on .

The SP is , and has been, managed.And do you think the market makers have being doing this for so long of their own volition? I don't think so!! Coupled with a complete failure to produce anything from Paradox, or to properly complete the infrastructure All seems pretty obvious .Wake up!
