Emerald Energy - Investors thread

Oilpunter: look at some facts. The 'volume' chart is above these messages. For all to see. There are not many days on which the total traded volume (buys and sells) is as high as 250,000 EEN. There have been very few transactions of that size in the Company's history. Emerald's sp moves on relatively small volumes either way. That's because the market capitalisation is relatively modest, and the multiplier/marginal effect (sometimes called 'Edwards Law') has a significant impact on the sp. On Cairn, of course, it wouldn't. Emerald's sp can dip on a sell of as little as 5,000. I've said it before, and it seems necessary to repeat it yet again: Emerald's sp, in the short-term *cannot* be predicted. You cannot know what RNS might, or might not, be issued tomorrow. You cannot know how the price of crude will move. Or whether or not an earthquake will strike somewhere and cause negative sentiment. You cannot know what the result of the drilling at Silfide #1 will be. If the sp went up to £2 as the result of some heavy buying, you cannot know if it would stay there. It might. Or it might drop back. Or it might go up higher. Who knows? And at the end of the day, who cares? Short-term trading is *not* what the serious investors on this thread are interested in. They hold Emerald because they believe it is a good long-term investment. But some posters, who never give any operational comment, seem to want to shake their confidence in their investment. And I ask myself: why? In nay case, as Emerald's chairman always says. it's the fundamentals that matter. I respectfully suggest that yiou sopend your time studying what's on Emerald's website, what's available in the public domain, what you can learn by attending Emerald's AGMs and meeting the directors and asking them questions, talking to people in teh City about Emerald, ficnding out how they see things, visiting Yuri Shafranik's website and considering the Waterford position, learning some Spanish and studying the Ecopetrol and ANH material, learning Cyrillic (Russian) and reading the Gazprom website. I do all those things. Why don't you?
