   Hi Hub

   From reading various articles, there would appear to be a realistic possibility that Afren’s Ain Sifni field could be connected to Gulf Keystone’s Shaikan formation. Should this be the case, who has claim over the oil that can be extracted? Is it just a case of whoever can get it out of the ground fastest keeps it?! Would specific extraction contracts need to be drawn up? Or would control of the Shaikan field simply remain with GKP, having already laid claim to this ‘discovery’?

   I apologise if you have addressed this matter else where, but would be grateful for any insight you can provide!

   Kind regards,

   Leon

   Hi Hub,

   On my Trading Account on iii there is an option to have:
   “dividends automatically reinvested”
   “dividends not reinvested”
   “pay away immediately”
   “pay away at six month intervals”
   dividends automatically reinvested seems to be set by default on all my holdings.
   What it doesn’t do is state what these actually mean, would you be able to shed some light on the meaning of these options i have.

   Thanks

     you’d be better off talking these through with a tax advisor.

     Depending on your personal circumstances – you need to declare / pay tax on dividends. Reinvesting them ‘may’ enable you to make tax savings although you could then lose any growth or value if the share price drops.

     You have to weigh up a number of factors – all of which will be down to your personal investment strategy.

   Hi Hub – In regards to RMP – i know that TD waterhouse can do these through an ISA but they seem to be a bit of a pain ( having to trransfer into australian dollars and it can take up to 4 weeks to transfer from existing ISA).
   Theres talk of them going into the aim soon, any idea when (hopefully not before georgia gets drilled – i hope).

   Hi hub, just wondered if you any thoughts on MEDAVINCI [MVC] soon to be OREGON GOLD?? I quite heavy into them & very exciting things happening at the moment! also into couple of hotlist picks, HER & MXP, not much happening with them at the moment, bit like a lot of the market.

     Not aware of them – so will into them. I see MXP and HER going much higher in Q2 or Early Q3. Still some decent upside ahead of meaningful news to come in between now and then though.

   Hi Hub

   Like the site.
   Probably not the right place to ask but could you point me in the right direction for Stamp Duty free stock that can go in an ISA?. The only one i’ve found so far is Xcite Energy (XEL).
   Could you tell me why they are S.D. free?

   Keep up the good work

     Stamp Duty exempt stocks are normally stocks that have a ‘primary’ listing on a foreign index. TSX (canadian exchange) is a good example. If you look for stocks that are ‘based’ in canada but dual list with LSE, then in most cases (if not all) they are stamp duty free. XEL, IAE and CAZA are just a few examples of stocks that are dual listed on TSX and stamp duty free. Due to the dual listing status and the recognised exchange (TSX) they are also eligible for ISA’s. It would be nice if the FSA could draft up a simple ‘ticker’ extension to stocks that are ISA approved – wouldn’t it!? Like XEL.Li

     This is not advice (just opinion) and if in any doubt – consult a financial advisor.

   Hi Hub,

   Been reading the iii site and a lot of rumours abound that Premier oil will buy out encore. The news in Aberdeen are that Premier are not going to buy Encore as a fair market value cannot be established. Not saying it wont happen but dont think its immenent in the short term. Obviously hear say at the moment and not de-ramping as i hold EO.

   A few months ago i looked at your advise on NPE being the better share but went for EO as was able to buy more shares.

   Frustrating when NPE seem to be flying.

   Whats your take on this?

   Other off topic question is i always seem to buy on a spike and then have to suffer sitting on a loss, any advise for new investors like myself on entry points.

   Case in point is PGD, I bought in a 62p and has retraced to about 50p. Not concerned long term but very annoying.

   Thanks in advance.

     Hi Mark,

     Tough one! I think Encore would be Premier’s preferred choice as they will gain the ownership majority in Catcher and also the operatorship. No offer can be made for Encore until Greater Catcher area drill program has been completed. Once that’s done, I think Premier and Encore will have a better view of what that part is worth. Trouble is, as soon as that part is complete, then Encore kick off the cladhan appraisals with sterling. So very tricky. In the meantime, encore really need to be thinking about cash funding for 2011 ops. Tudor rose decision is needed soon and that also partners up with NPE. I said at the start of the year that I thought the North sea would be a hot bed of acquisitions. I always preferred NPE to Encore because they had more cash and were advanced with Kraken. With results due on Kraken any day now, NPE clearly has more going for it short term than EO. It’s the perfect stock to hold for exposure to greater catcher drills if you ask me.

     To avoid buying at the peaks, you need to try and get a greater valuation feel for the business you are invested in. Other ways to avoid buying at peaks is to stake build in parts. Instead of buying say £10k at 60p. Why not try £3k at 60p and then wait a few days or weeks and if it dips to 50p and you think it’s good value – then buy another £3k and then if it dips to say 40p buy another £4k. Over all – you then have an average price near 48p ish which is better than 60p! Of course, the key is to get in early and ahead of the herd. That’s where research comes in. Finding tomorrow’s stock involves digging around the businesses out there and looking for undervalued opportunities or assets that are soon to be drilled or mined etc. Often, ‘traders’ rather than ‘investors’ will only enter a stock if it is within a T-20 period. They don’t like to see their cash tied up for months on end. They just want in and out for a quick 10% or better. Thus, if you can find stocks that have momentum and good risk/reward ratios – then try and get in at least 10 to 12 weeks ahead of the big event. This normally applies to commodities etc.

     For the record – the above is not advice just musings and if in doubt you should discuss your issues with your broker or financial advisor.

     Good luck

   HUB – Thanks for all your good work on getting this sharehub site going….

   Just checking your/vik’s ISA list..

   It is worth checking every time you want to trade a share whether it is ISAable….
   I have made mistakes by ASSUMING – to assume makes an ass of you and me!! – and missing the chance to go straight into my ISA.
   It seems to me that the List keeps changing all the Time.
   Do Company’s change their Listings at all or very much?
   Is it a generally a Fixed process once they have Dual Listed?
   Have many Companies have de-listed from dual back down to single listing??
   Shares I thought were ISAable are not [eg XTR]
   Shares I did not think were ISAable I have then found out were ISAable [eg CAZA]
   On VAST – Could anyone confirm it is dual listed as I’m trying to pick it up off AIM and TSX at the moment???
   [the good lady Elena says it is so who am I to argue??]

   Many thanks – Oilfarmer

     I think it’s a sure thing to ask your broker or do more research before buying a stock on an Isa basis. As mentioned – many brokers don’t even know themselves so it’s worth getting a second opinion. Companies are always changing so it’s prudent to check them over regularly. As for VAST – I thought it was listed on TSX and not on AIM?

    I dont believe that ACU are ISAable according to my records. (AIM and Botswana exchanges only).

    Great site Hub. Thanks for all your efforts.

    Hi Hub

    Another one to add to the list – Scotgold Resources (SGZ).

    Its looking for gold just down the road from you, at Tyndrum.
    They are having a problem getting permission from the parkies so are having a go at the Scottish ministers ( government, not church). Perhaps you could pop in & have a word with them too.
    The price should get a nice rise if they get the go ahead.

    The old mines they would like to re-open are in the same geological band as Conroy Gold (CDG) mines in Ireland.

    ps thanks for gkp,char,iae & xel

    Here’s a handy link for identifying if a stock is ISAable, just type in the EPIC code or the share name, the results will tell you if it can be put in a ISA or a SIPP.

    Eneg are no longer ISAable, also Enquest are not on the list. These are ISAable.

    Good long term prospects with Enquest. Have huge backing and are setting out to be biggest independant in North Sea. Not a multibagger though. But one you can buy, forget and return to in a few years time confident it will have made you money.
