MAX PETROLEUM - The Birth of a Giant

Downend, I totally agree with your view on HP. I've had the prairie hat filtered for a year.

As regards stocks for 2006.

I'm very much into MXP and believe great things may come of it but it is still highly speculative but I will remain a holder.

Three other stocks I hold which do fit my criteria perfectly in terms of increasing reserves, production and profit and looking under valued are DGO, EEN and JKX. From a chartist point of view all three remain in a long term up trend and appear likely to do so throughout 2006. I see no reason why JKX cannot maintain its phenomenal growth in 2006 and think the other two and MXP will do so too.

The other stocks I hold in the sector are BUR, CUX, EME, LNR and VOG
