It is easy to panic, especially if you went long around the 60p mark. Pending some exceptional news I would imagine 60p will be hard to break as I'm sure there'll be many people wanting to sell their holdings now. There does appear to have been a lack of news, but I hope the results will bring us good news.

Lord knows....we need some news and soon. Results are approaching and maybe there will be something in there. I'm confident of AMBR in the long term and feel the dividend is attractive. I'm hopeful we may see an increase in the dividend when results are announced.

Any comments on the chart?
About to come back to life?

[bingobingy] 08/2/2008 12:14

is it just me, or does there appear to be a general theme where companies just aren't releasing any news. Terrible investor relations.

apparently ambr own about 1/2 of golden prospect precsious metals fund on aim.

the fund has just announced a value of 111p against a share price of about 93p, imho this is probably right as most funds run at a discount to assets.
the prospects for gold look good, 3/4 rate cut does no harm , and i am sure the stock pickers behind the fund are good.
pity ambr wasn't being valued by the same criteria as n rock.

fordtin - If my memory is correct then I think that the intention was to hold the shares in Treasury and therefore not to cancel them. If they had been cancelled then I think that we would have been told. I cannot find another buy-back after the one you mention. I suggest that you ask the company whether the buy-back is still available to it and let us know. I would be interested to know the answer.

Samson, have been asked to ring the opening bell in N.Y. on the 23rd, next Wednesday.
Update on company on Bloomberg?
Recent listing, on exchange.

[haydock] 07/1/2008 20:14

Information not quite spot on:
Listed ADR's bundles of 20 Samson shares.

American Depositary Receipt (ADR)

A negotiable certificate issued by a U.S. bank representing a specified number of shares (or one share) in a foreign stock that is traded on a U.S. exchange. ADRs are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the underlying security held by a U.S. financial institution overseas. ADRs help to reduce administration and duty costs that would otherwise be levied on each transaction.

[haydock] 07/1/2008 20:03

Well they have something else to get their teeth into:
Samson arrived on Wall St. today.
Full market listing.

RNS Number:1458L
Ambrian Capital PLC
07 January 2008

7th January 2008 AIM: AMBR

Ambrian Capital plc

John Coles appointed Finance Director of Ambrian Capital plc


Ambrian Capital plc ("Ambrian Capital" or "the Company") announces that with
effect from 7th January 2008 John Coles is appointed to the role of Finance
Director.



Nathan Steinberg, the previous Finance Director, will remain as a non-executive
director of Ambrian Capital and will continue to assist the Company in its
development.




Since January 2005, John has held the role of Finance Director of Ambrian
Partners Limited the wholly-owned corporate finance and stockbroking subsidiary
of Ambrian Capital, where he has been responsible for finance, compliance and
administration. John has also been instrumental in establishing Ambrian
Commodities Limited, the FSA regulated broker-dealer of LME futures and options,
and Ambrian Asset Management Limited and is Finance Director of both
subsidiaries.



John, aged 46, has over 20 year's experience in investment banking and asset
management. After qualifying as a chartered accountant, he worked with Robert
Fleming in private equity, investment banking and stockbroking. Prior to joining
Ambrian, John was Deputy Managing Director of JP Morgan Fleming Asset Management
in France.



John holds an Honours degree in business and economics from Trinity College,
Dublin and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and
Wales.



Tom Gaffney, Chief Executive Officer of Ambrian Capital, commenting on the
appointment, said "I am delighted to welcome John to the Board of Directors of
Ambrian Capital. John not only brings a wealth of experience in key areas in
which Ambrian is strong and growing including investment banking and
stockbroking activities, but also comes to the role already with an in-depth
knowledge of the Ambrian Capital business having been instrumental in setting up
numerous key functions within the Group including the market making activities
of Ambrian Partners Limited, and Ambrian Asset Management. For these reasons and
more, I am confident that John is excellently placed to take on the role of
Finance Director of Ambrian Capital and help to continue the strong growth and
development of the business that we have achieved to date. I would also like to
thank Nathan Steinberg for his work and valuable contribution in the role of
Finance Director."

between June 2008 and June 2010 at an exercise price of 10p per share.

Jubilee Platinum looks as though it may have bottomed.

Can only be good for Ambrian as i think that companies recent performance has been one of the drags on the share price

[chrismcglone] 05/1/2008 09:17

I don't really have a target SURFER2. I passionately believe however that at some point over the next 5 years (or so) gold will take out the inflation adjusted high (which i reckon to be approx $2300).

I can only position myself to take advantage of this and other 'big' events.

My holding of stocks like Ambrian will hopefully do this.

If pushed i would like to think that the share price could end the year at around 100p if all goes to plan.

Longer term however, Buffet's 'weighing' machine will ultimately dictate the value of this and my other holdings.

[surfer2] 04/1/2008 18:52

and whats your target 1-1.5 years out if gold goes to 1000 an oz?

[chrismcglone] 04/1/2008 12:20

A climb back to 60p now looks like the short term target.

[drago] 04/1/2008 10:09

nice to see the price turning at last.
with the cash and investments stripped out the pe must be about 1 or less.
imho

[chrismcglone] 04/1/2008 08:53

You're welcome VIXEN. Looks like bonkers has saved me the dilema of divulging the source.

Seabridge is one of those smaller rec's from Sjuggerud (pronounced suger-rude) Confidential which then made its way onto the True Wealth newsletter and has been a spectacular success.

Anyway, it was nice to get one over on the yanks for a change. Any of the UK followers had plenty of time yesterday morning to get in after receiving the alert the night before. I generally wouldn't put stuff like that out that i (and others) had paid good money for but thought this one was OK.

Looks like a wee bit of continued strength today.

Here's hoping we may have seen the bottom at last.

[vixen] 04/1/2008 07:39

Just a thank you Chris for your early morning alert yesterday it enabled me to buy in on the cheap and make some instant profit. Exactly what a BB is for.

cheers Vix

It was tipped in Sjuggerud Confidential I'm a subscriber and I don't hold Ambrian. His best tip was Seabridge Gold, which I do own. Anyone interested in subscribing can find details :

Sjuggerud Confidential is an exclusive research service written by , focusing on unusual and highly profitable opportunities that 99% of the investment public will never even consider.
In the past six years, Steve has traveled around the world to find the safest investment opportunities for his subscribers. While doing his research, Steve would often come across exciting opportunities that were smaller and less liquid. Worried that the price of these investments would skyrocket, he couldn't recommend them to a subscriber base as large as True Wealth.
That's why Steve created Sjuggerud Confidential, so that he could share these special situations with a smaller audience.

[chrismcglone] 03/1/2008 15:56

As i said ilancas, there is a very loyal following and he has certainly earned it by my reckoning.

Give it a couple of months for it to hit a wider audience and there should be a bit more of a sustainable rally IMO.

Here's hoping anyway.

[ilancas] 03/1/2008 15:09

Looks like a few from across the pond have been acting on Chris' tip!
