Well it seems Mr Market was not/is not impressed and that tells you everything. Respected O&G investors like Geoff Lancaster are not seduced by the last RNS unlike some others. Let's wait and see how this pans out next week.

Fair enough but as a long-term investor in O&G, I would be very wary what you wish for. Check out Waseem Shakoor for an alternative view...

AIM is risky and very volatile. I know some of the guys in this company - on my watch list. Great potential but a few issues to deal with first.

Be prepared to be amazed. Turned into a turkey this one

Back to high .90s within the next 10 days I reckon.

Nice one. However, the long-termers who bought at over 300p will not be smiling. If there is a sale before drilling, I think maybe 55p? I can't recall what COC bought in at - was it @30p?

I thought I would re-visit this board after a long while - sorry to see the suspension but not surprised. I deleted the Boom app on my phone as the content was abstract and mostly out of date. I bought TWTR instead last year and this is a long-term hold for me.

Coinsilium is on NEX. One to watch.

...and a stonking Director's purchase. I will have a look at this - looks good.

I have now sold all my holdings in BLVN! Not at a loss but I was hoping for 70p by the end of the year without COC getting involved. I had high hopes here and spent quite a lot of time meeting some of the directors and doing my DD but, despite all of this, the corruption and sleaze in Cameroon is just too stifling for an investment case. The millions lost on G&A over the years due to the bureaucracy of the MOM is staggering. Opportunity abounds elsewhere! Good Luck and all the very best to those still holding.

"The company is carried for $40m of net drilling on two appraisal wells, and is due to receive a further $25m once the final investment decision is made. Etinde accounts for half of Bowleven's book value of 89p a share The bottom line is that Bowleven is in play and I really don't expect the company to be listed on the London market this time next year. So, having included the shares in my 2016 Bargain Shares portfolio at just shy of 19p, and rated them a buy again in this year's Bargain Shares portfolio, I feel a realisation value of 50p a share is not unreasonable in a break-up scenario, representing a 60 per cent discount to Arden Partners' latest risked net asset value (NAV) estimate. Buy."

Perhaps - West Africa is the domain of the Russians and Chinese.

Not encouraging to see the RP only holds shares to the value of £31,985. Hardly an endorsement.

ditto for ctag...

Ctag still do not have a tracker for sale so it cannot be purchased and thus critically tested for its supposed "medical grade" ECG monitor (as the company itself claims). In the intervening two years, the tech and Lagos have improved so ctag have been caught with their pants down looking very silly indeed.

Well said Gary. There are legions of wearables on the market in various shapes and sizes but the Orb has to be the Ford Edsel of them all. The ctag track is in the same league.

on my smartphone but it seems he has an incentive here if sp moves North. I like this share although not yet invested. I have a small holding in Optibiotix

My sentiments exactly! Northwest Bio Therapeutics is another one to watch

...and still holding! One to tuck away.

Nice malt that one. Similarly, I averaged down and will hold for the long term. I was initially a bit greedy having reached £18 from my initial purchase and I was stopped out at a small loss. Met Minnow Powell recently which was very encouraging and very happy to have SGP in my portfolio. Shame I did not buy Sports Direct as their stores are always full. Similar future stocks to watch are in different sectors - BLVN and EMED - their time will come and perhaps ones to tuck away at their current prices. GL
