I've gone long again.

Yesterdays news sounds very much like a hick-up to me.

Definately looks worth a punt at circa 6.5p.

The shares are held on behalf of customers (nominees):

"The interest in 7,900,000 shares arose from an interest held by Goldman, Sachs & Co., a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of GS Inc, acting as custodian for its
customers. These shares are, or will be, registered in the name of Goldman Sachs
Securities (Nominees), Limited."

domthe1 perhaps that would be too good as the demise of MM......hopefully GS will put some pressure on this shower to get there act together or get out....agree its tea money or a tip as far as GS are concerned & like you I'm puzzled as to the latent reasons.....perhaps there is a much bigger picture that this pin head will fit into at some point in time......

wonder what the non exec directors will have to say about this fiasco presided over at present by such a controversale character....... or will this just cause further damage in publics perception of AIM companies rather like the wild west how long before Wyatt Earp turns up to round up all of the bad guys & run them out of town.......something the LSE seem reluctant to even contemplate......all IMHO

[domtheone] 04/4/2007 16:15

I'm surprised that GS have 8% in a stock that is junk status.

Even 8% is worth peanuts, few hundred K which is like 2p to you or me.

Absolutely irrelevant, imo. If they tried to sell it we'd see sub 5p in a flash.

What surprises me more is GS having a stake in a shady company like CSH.

I think shareholders will end of with the same result as LBG, nothing.

The rest of my CSH shares have been marked down in my portfolio as Zero value, yep, Zippo.

Nothing would give me more please now than to see MM burn in hell.

[bots24] 04/4/2007 15:38

roughly only 1 buy to every 4 sells with a 20%+ spread, does that mean the market makers don't want the shares...????

how long before Goldman Sachs TRY to start to bale out of there 8% holding, maybe little by little, as the share price is nearly down to th Jan'07 lows.....

[d_harriman] 04/4/2007 14:41

I suppose they have had the courtesy to tell us...which is nice. What a bombshell though

[bots24] 04/4/2007 14:26

I thought its interesting there's no info about when or if they applied for a export licence.....??? so if they have not applied for one they cannot be granted one...
or is it simular to a loan from a bank... if the bank feels this will not be serviced as per the agreement they will keep it under constant review......and pull the plug before they lose everything

This RNS does not bode well in my view.....something is possibly happening behind the scene.....looks like everyone is in the dark maybe for other reasons....... all IMHO....

[domtheone] 04/4/2007 14:08

Probably.

How long does it take to sink in that the guy running the show is a crook?

He's hardly spoken a word of truth in 2.5 years lol.

This months delay could turn into another month, then half a year, then forever, lol, just like the license extension.

Something seriously wrong with CSH and it all points to MM. Check in next month to see how the journey towards 1p is going.

[spaceparallax] 04/4/2007 13:56

If it's not one thing, it's another.

I'm disapointed that that Caspian haven't taken the oppo to lace this bad news with a sweetener concerning production or workovers.....unless of course, they're not able to!

[relishing] 04/4/2007 13:20

sirshagalot,

Yes, its only one month at the moment, but there now seems to be no guarantee they will be able to export oil next month, or the month after....

This may not be the case, but they don't seem to know the reason why the Kazakstan government didn't allow them to export this month? So this is an extra element of risk that's just been made apparent.

stefield,
What do you mean that this has been draging on for years now! CSH floated 2.5 years ago and when you invest in a company you may have to wait 5 to 10 years to get any return on your investment! Look at MKS, how many years did it take to hit the recent all time highs.

As to CSH, the investors (or shall I say traders!) expectation have not been realistic so we have had a bubble prices on CSH. Nevertheless, during last 2.5 years, CSH has established an all round business. It discovers commercial oil, it extracts it and it also sells it to the export market at reasonable price. It has even made a maiden profit in the first six months of last financial year.
I agree that all is done in small scale (hence the market cap of £6m!) All it now needs to scale up the same of everything. This is clearly stated by the managment in recent RNS's. So the workaround program will probably increase output and the mangement are working on increasing the operation area shortly. I do not expect CSH hits 50p or even 25p this year, but IMO share price is now turning we might hit 15p+ this year

I am out! Moved my remaining fund to EEN.

-------------------------------

its finally sinking in !

[vavoom2] 04/4/2007 13:03

For some reason some official is either sick of CSH or is applying pressure.

Do they want them out or a bigger cut of the oil ?????????????

[volsung] 04/4/2007 13:02

I am sure there are poor sods out there who have averaged down on the falls. A hard lesson.

[riptracker] 04/4/2007 13:00

No surprises from caspian as this as been static for a loong time could reach 2.5p.

[sirshagalot] 04/4/2007 12:58

fill yer boots another over done sell off.
just cos they wont export for one month lol.

[domtheone] 04/4/2007 12:45

Risky it may be but with a crook in charge that magnifies the problem.

If MM has conned/lied to investors/institutions in RNS's, presentations, you name it. I wonder how he has played the locals.

Export delay, So called licence extension never (and never will be) given.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if they want shut of him to. Someone should do us all a favour and push him down a well.

If this was the LSE he'd be in cuffs a long time ago.

Since it's AIM though, anything goes. No rules to adhere to so they do what they want.

[stefield] 04/4/2007 12:42

well said dom

[relishing] 04/4/2007 12:42

This is the risk with oil producers in countries like this - 'dodgy' countries, some might say. Look at the problems CDL is having in Ukraine.

Sefton Resources is based in the US - you don't get these sorts of problems there.

[declan2] 04/4/2007 12:01

they've told us a lot of things !
