Long Over Short

Just a quick one here but fantastic news from Serica Energy (LSE:SQZ) this morning. Cash, production and operating profit – whats not to like? Shares reacted to this news and closed up over 70%. A great result for holders from the 4-6p area but I think there is much more to go. Currently cash is […]

Another small cap stock that has released huge news this week is Hague and London Oil (LSE:HNL). The company has interests in the UK, Africa and now Indonesia and with a market cap of £3.5m it is an attractive investment opportunity at current prices. On Wednesday it announced it has entered a conditional agreement to […]

Faroe Petroleum (LSE:FPM) continues to be the best play in the North Sea and interim results today enforce that view. As the commodities rout continues many Oil & Gas companies continue to make all-time lows. One major area of focus for UK investors has been the North Sea and whether it’s game over for the region. […]

The natural resource markets is a very tough place to be an investor at the moment. Capital is hard to raise, drilling and development are on hold due to the low oil price and share prices are falling lower and lower. What makes 88 Energy (LSE:88E) different is that they are nearing spud of the […]

Today (LSE:FPM) Faroe Petroleum announced that their Portrush exploration well encountered no hydrocarbons. This has sent the share price down nearly 5% which I see as a good buying opportunity. This well was the third off a seven well campaign across the North and Barents Sea which has been relatively successful. What is very exciting […]

The darling stock of the bulletin boards is (LSE:LGO) LGO Energy, but the transformational time for them is coming to an end. The share price is now way off highs last year of 6.95p (which gave the company a laughable market cap of over £200 million) and is now at 1.3p (a still overvalued £40m […]

Over the past few months I’ve been holding cash to wait and attempt to pick the bottom of the latest oil price decline. After all Buffet once famously said ‘Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful’, I’m now wondering with oil stocks at lows and WTI and Brent trading at […]

Faroe Petroleum (LSE:FPM) offers short term upside in the form of an exciting mix of exploration and appraisal wells offshore Norway and in the Barents Sea. The Boomerang well is currently being drilled, after which attention will move onto the Shell (LSE:RDSB) operated Portrush prospect and then back to another Pil discovery well called Blink. […]

This morning as expected ENOC upped their offer for Dragon Oil (LSE:DGO) to 750p per share. This represents a 15p increase on their proposed offer and that would seem enough to gain the boards approval. This bid comes in 100p below the 850p value I believe Dragon is currently worth. ENOC state that they ‘met […]
