Problem with " Buybacks" is they do not perform same as those holding share price down, they buy in big chunks and do not affect share price in same manner - as share price is based on last trade not biggest. Takes more effort to buy small lots and control share price With DMA it should not matter the size of trade.
Just easier to buy chunks. Also if serious wait till end of trading.

Caggins interview from Lse

RE: First up, ICG meeting and outcomesToday 13:23

[hydrocarbon1] 12/6/2024 14:20

Caggins hit the nail on the head when he bravely suggested the Kurds are not being treated as equals in Iraq compared to other Iraqi citizens. We cannot do a lot about that as investors/traders other than voting with our feet, which would hurt the Kurds more than anything.

Isn't he brilliant.

Herbert how sure are you we’re sold and when will it be by ( roughly).
I won’t hold you to it.

[habshan] 12/6/2024 14:13

HSF - 75,000 buy at 143.7.

And a 50,000 at 143.40 at 13:43.

Today's buyback.

Re Myles Caggins YouTube interview, you can be sure if Ghani is saying 'it'll be sorted in few days' he is lying through his teeth, be interesting to see how the politics pan out, Sudani wants things moving, Iranian politicians want no change no matter how much it costs them...

It doesnt matter - company is obviously sold.

[mmt1] 12/6/2024 12:52

Hopefully it will be a regular meeting each Sunday... 4 meetings and ITP dusted in a month I would say.

Buyback does add support to the share price imo.

I don't understand why on some points like monies owed in backpayments they can't all stick together like they have so far... Or we view our current contracts as legally valid and will not negotiate on them.. 1 for all and all for 1 as in so far they have done! Would make all of them stronger! That is precisely what the ICG want - divide and conquer...

I would also suggest not being the first company to fold to what is offered, and not being the last...

[herbertsmithfreehills] 12/6/2024 12:50

It sure is - understand the resolutions at AGM - plus this rather bizarre buyback / not really buying back much ..LOL......- and we have the final clues.

[barbariansatthegate] 12/6/2024 12:33

It's a side show...lol.....the company is sold TBAThat is blindingly obvious.

[herbertsmithfreehills] 12/6/2024 11:55

75,000 buy at 143.7

thats us

[hangthedj] 12/6/2024 11:52

Here's latest video from Myles, seems nothing much has change, more meetings required, shock of all shocks.
Very disappointing in my view, no idea why the urgency was being quoted by the ICG when they had nothing to offer?

Well we all know not to believe you Broadfraudster.How's your daddy lol.

...and Rudaw arabic is reporting as follows:

"...The official who participated in the meeting and did not want to reveal his name told the Rudaw media network: “I told Miles that his description of the meeting was not accurate.”

He considered that officials in the Iraqi Oil Ministry "were very evasive during the meeting. They were not ready to negotiate anything. They only wanted the companies to export oil (at a cost) of $6 per barrel."

All is not well in the APIKUR camp; who to believe?

I just watched the latest YouTube entry from Mr Caggins. My takeaway from this is that the Iraq ministry of oil will be put under increasing pressure and that they will eventually agree to constructive meetings.

The people behind the scenes pulling the strings will undoubtedly try other tactics to delay the decision process (must be agreed with so on and so forth).

Caggins hit the nail on the head when he bravely suggested the Kurds are not being treated as equals in Iraq compared to other Iraqi citizens. We cannot do a lot about that as investors/traders other than voting with our feet, which would hurt the Kurds more than anything.

Personally, I aim to maintain my level of investment and trade some on the flow.

Slowly, slowly catchy monkey - I can see us getting there within a couple of months but could be pleasantly surprised within weeks. Ramping up media exposure highlighting the treatment of the Kurds will probably do the trick.

Kurdistan KRG council of ministers PM Masrour Barzani Oil Exports Customs Checkpoint 12th grade General Census
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Council of Ministers is set to discuss the opening of two customs checkpoints in Diyala and Mosul, the upcoming general population census, and the 12th-grade general examinations during a meeting on Wednesday.

The Kurdistan Region's Prime Minister Masrour Barzani will chair the meeting, accompanied by the Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani, and will address four main issues.

The first item on the agenda will cover the outcomes of the recent visit by a high-level KRG delegation and representatives of international oil companies to Baghdad.

The delegation met with the Iraqi Oil Ministry on June 8 and 9 to discuss resuming oil exports from the Kurdistan Region.

The second item will focus on the opening of two customs checkpoints in Diyala and Mosul provinces by the federal government.

These new checkpoints are expected to impact the trade routes of the Kurdistan Region's border crossings.

The third item will address the upcoming general population census, scheduled for November 20-21, 2024, in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

The fourth and final item will discuss the preparations made by the Ministry of Education and other relevant parties for the 12th-grade general examinations throughout the Kurdistan Region, ensuring that all departments are ready for the exams.

Yes, offer was 7 pounds per share, 1st born child and a sloppy blow job.Should I take it?

[highly geared] 12/6/2024 10:42

I find it odd that we may be on the cusp on an agreement that will fundamentally change the landscape for the better for the IOCs and potentially result in a 10 fold revaluation of the businesses (if P2 reserves are properly valued against a politically stable, long term, background), yet every 2-3p rise gets sold into....

[fairenough11] 12/6/2024 10:20

"A SOURCE"--stops reading any further.Sounds like more ping pong bullsh*t imo

Yep I'll also go with Caggins.

[luckyclicker] 12/6/2024 10:20

APIKUR member companies participated in the Baghdad meeting on their own behalf. When we have an industry-wide statement, we'll share it. It's important to remember that @apikur_oil is not directly participating or negotiating contracts.https://x.com/apikur_oil/status/1800583808510730686?t=fgdCNy8SnBD4taFGGVWarw&s=19

I am awaiting a full response from my broker and have also emailed investor relations at GKP... No response from them so far. I want to be careful although wish to ask some questions at the AGM.
