Fs. Shut up going professor - your acting like its your last 10k Muppet

Remember, ML has already stated that a fair value on our existing assets is an share price of around 1p, and the WB prospect alone could be worth 1.55p.

So we are trading far far below what we should be even if WB doesn't come good.

If all the boxes are ticked my 3p target by end 2015 looks on.

This is Malcys Blog - Malcy and I were Chums in Africa in the Seventies !

"I recently met with Matt Lofgran, CEO of NTOG as i needed an update following his recent acquisition and modest fundraise. Few shares can have performed with such volatility as NTOG which almost doubled on the news of the White Buffalo acquisition but subsequently fell during and after the raising of £1.75m at 0.3p a share in late September.

Following on from success in the Chisholm trail with Ward, Lofgran has been looking for the chance to buy something significantly more meaningful on which NTOG could be 100% owner, and operator of. After looking at a number of prospects, White Buffalo appeared to fit the bill, it is in the prolific Big Horn Basin in Wyoming and has big players nearby, most notably Devon Energy. There are also possible further packages of land nearby which might fall Nostra’s way giving them a slightly bigger footprint than the 6,100 acres acquired so far. Over the next few months there is much to do, NTOG has to become an operator formally and up to three locations are to be permitted. Lofgran has always said that the funding of wells here will be done by getting in new partners at the time so watch out for that happening in the next few months. I expect all this to have happened in time for first drilling to happen in 1H 2015 which probably means 2Q 2015 realistically.

Although NTOG only has a market cap of £9.4m it generates a lot of interest particularly in the retail market, many of whom supported the recent raise. White Buffalo is a genuinely potentially game-changing acquisition for the company and provided all of the above factors can be achieved and if the management are up to it there is no reason why it should not be very rewarding. Watch out for every move and ensure all the boxes are ticked, if they are this might just be a stock to keep an eye on next year."

Volumes equalling yesterday, with almost 4 hours trading to go.

Small and steady tick-ups very bullish.

Malcy's Blog will generate new interest and stimulate further buying later.

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 12:32

Looking good to challenge the 0.3p mark again.

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 12:21

Now Malcy's Blog have given us a mention, I'd expect to see some more sustained buying in this afternoon's session.

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 12:20

At last, we have a mention on Malcy's Blog.

Pretty positive it is too without going over the top. Says if everything can be achieved NTOG will be a share to keep an eye on in 2015.

So, stock up now whilst they are cheap (my words).

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 11:20

There's the "1" code - a 1 buy. Usually an MM signal of a positive news item about to break.

Let's wait and see.

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 10:03

Just took two modest buys to tick the share price back up again.

MM's must be aware of some impending information.

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 09:54

And I wonder whether today we will be mentioned on Malcy's Blog?

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 09:49

Hi Buffy - a very interesting story there. He's done quite well your mate.

If he puts £10k in here then at current levels he'll pick up around 3.6m.

There are a lot of short-termers here, some even buy and sell within hours, which I find pointless. NTOG perfectly fits your scenario of a company growing and poised for much higher growth going forward.

In a way the short-termers do us all a favour by keeping a lid on the share price allowing those of us who want to build decent position the ability to do so at favourable prices. I have friends who ask me how I have the patience to stick with NTOG all these years when the price gyrates so much and inevitably falls back. I reply that eventually I'm expecting a much higher price than in the past two years (0.22/0.70p) so accumulating especially at these levels and waiting for my 3p target makes sense. At least to me.

Let us know when your friend takes the plunge (and probably more importantly let us know when he wants to sell - he seems like a walking good luck charm!)

[buffythebuffoon] 22/10/2014 09:39

Hi PP,

I'm also expecting an RNS, and I think it will be a price mover. It seems that some need nudging to appreciate the investment proposition here. That will become clearer.

Buffy

[buffythebuffoon] 22/10/2014 09:37

P.S. I guess the buys are short term traders. I'd love to know if they also bought at 28p or 27p or 26p.

In my view, and in my experience, you get better results if you identify a good company with excellent growth prospects, with a CEO you trust, and you slowly accumulate when the price is favourable (or more quickly if you have the money and the price is really on the floor); then you sell when the share price has gone crazy, and others are desperate to get in. Then you rinse and repeat.

For interest I thought I'd mention a friend who knows very little about the stockmarket, and pretty much nothing about the O&G business. I just thought some might find it entertaining and possibly instructive.

He's very conservative. He only wanted to risk (his word) £10,000 in shares (the vast majority he has in bonds, which I know nothing about). He listens to me when I put forward a good company, and buys when I suggest he should. He doesn't listen to me about when to sell though. He seems to be far better at selling than me.

He will not buy via spreadbets or CFDs; everything is in his or his wife's ISA, so he has never had any sweaty moments.

I checked with him before posting this, to obtain the exact figures. He bought Soco at £2.18 and sold at £21.34, Encore at £0.16 and sold at £1.08, GKP at £0.08 and sold at £0.62. He also bought Caza at 8p and sold at 21p.

I suggested he buy EDG at 8p, but he's holding off. Ditto here at £0.003. I think he's waiting for me to finish buying, then he'll nip in 0.0001 of a penny cheaper. That sort of thing amuses him.

So basically he gets in when a company is cheap and sits on his hands, but he seems to know when to sell. Lucky? Maybe, I mean nobody invests without having had a loser do they? So far though, he has done well. He's sold for better prices than me every time but one (and I held on for 2 years more before selling GKP, but then bought again later....). I'm still in CAZA, but wish I'd sold at 21p and re-entered at 14p...

Now we listen to each other. :^}

Moral of the story? I'm not sure.

Perhaps....accumulate NTOG at these low prices; accept there will be some dilution along the way as you accumulate, and then sell when my mate says so. :^}

Not Again !

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 09:07

Morning buffy. Yes, MM's seem to want the shares, quite happy to take pi sales and pay above the bid.

Some decent buying today will see us over the 0.3p mark.

Over on the LSE boards a guy is saying that ML is "putting together a detailed RNS" on the WB prospect.

Yesterday's price action on no new news (or Malcy's Blog for that matter!) wasn't for nothing.

[buffythebuffoon] 22/10/2014 09:03

Price holding up despite Buy Volume of 1,210,958 against Sell Volume of 4,233,309

Buffy

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 08:59

MM's paying over bid.

Something brewing.

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 08:39

The ongoing problem with NTOG has always been short-term holders and traders.

Eventually those who buy and hold will be amply rewarded for their patience. It is a question of waiting and accumulating on the dips.

[professor pettigrew] 22/10/2014 07:46

Some interesting recent tweets from ML.

I suspect we have some major news brewing.

Today's share price action and volumes will be interesting. If we can move upwards again on higher volume than yesterday that will justify yesterday's movement.

[professor pettigrew] 21/10/2014 21:24

Is that all peasant?

Mere bagatelle, but about your standard.

In the "Downton" scheme of things, you wouldn't even be trusted to clean Daisy's shoes.

[neilyb675] 21/10/2014 18:25

WTF are you on. I know the potential here, been here a long time - invested and traded. That does not stop me having an opinion - be that not what you want to hear all the time.
