SERG @ .02 HITS UP!
A Fluke? A Misprint? Whatever it was there was steady volume throughout the day relative to the shares OS. This thing has close to NO shares thus the huge fluctuations. A pure "Lotto" play but as we all know those can sometimes make huge gains. I agree; there is NO DD on this Co. Could this one do it again tomorrow? Who knows. These are the kind of Plays that can make some quick $ out there.
No idea, either very, very stupid
or they know something
thinking its the former

News for 'SERG' - (Credit union wins regulatory approval)
Jan 14, 2011 (The Bakersfield Californian - McClatchy-Tribune Information
Services via COMTEX) -- Bakersfield-based Star Energy Credit Union won final
regulatory approval Thursday to merge with Chevron Federal Credit Union, a
larger and financially stronger institution based in Oakland.
Just one more agency's consent -- that of California's Secretary of State -- is
required before the two institutions may join in a way that would rescue Star
Energy from its financial peril while also providing its roughly 1,500 members
with improved interest rates, greater access to automated teller machines and a
wider array of financial products.
"It's a positive step for the membership because we can offer so many more
services than we've been able to do with a small credit union," Star Energy's
president and CEO, Cheryl Kline, said Thursday.
The California Department of Financial Institutions signed off on the merger
Jan. 7. Then, Thursday morning, so did the governing board of the National
Credit Union Administration. Both approvals were needed because Star Energy is
chartered by the state, Chevron Federal by the federal government.
An executive at Chevron Federal said the Secretary of State's approval could
arrive within weeks, after which time the larger credit union would assume
control over Star Energy's operations.
Kline said her organization's name would change to become part of Chevron
Federal, and that all of her employees would likely join Chevron Federal.
Star Energy is a 74-year-old, state-chartered credit union with about 1,500
members. It dropped from a marginally healthy capital ratio of about 6 percent
June 30 to the alarmingly low level of 3.8 percent three months later. Its total
assets declined by more than $1 million to $5.9 million in the 12 months ended
Sept. 30.
Chevron Federal has about 70,000 members, including 865 account holders in the
Bakersfield area. Its capital ratio had a relatively robust capital ratio of
10.7 percent on Sept. 30 despite having lost $1.9 million in the previous nine
months, federal data show. The credit union has acquired at least eight credit
unions, according to the state Department of Financial Institutions. It
maintains 14 branch offices in California, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
Both credit unions serve primarily Chevron employees and their family members.

News for 'SERG' - (Troubled credit union seeks merger)
SERG News Troubled credit union seeks merger.

News for 'SERG' - (Troubled credit union seeks merger)
Jan 13, 2011 (The Bakersfield Californian - McClatchy-Tribune Information
Services via COMTEX) -- A small, financially struggling Bakersfield-based
financial institution -- Star Energy Credit Union -- is awaiting federal
approval for what could be a critical merger with a larger and stronger credit
union based in Oakland.
Regulators with the state Department of Financial Institutions signed off on the
proposed transaction Friday. But because Star Energy's suitor is federally
chartered, the deal would have to be approved by the National Credit Union
Administration.
Federal records indicate that Star Energy, a 74-year-old, state-chartered credit
union with about 1,500 members, dropped from a marginally healthy capital ratio
of about 6 percent June 30 to the alarmingly low level of 3.8 percent three
months later. Its total assets declined by more than $1 million to $5.9 million
in the 12 months ended Sept. 30; more recent data were not available.
An NCUA spokesman said Wednesday that Star Energy is under no special regulatory
supervision, though he noted that it has been ordered to take "prompt corrective
action."
Because Star Energy is federally insured, its members deposits are guaranteed up
to $250,000, the spokesman, John McKechnie, emphasized.
"They should know that their money is safe and insured by the federal
government," he said.
Star Energy's prospective suitor, Chevron Federal Credit Union, stood at a
relatively robust capital ratio of 10.7 percent on Sept. 30 despite having lost
$1.9 million in the previous nine months, federal data show. Chevron Federal has
about 70,000 members, including 865 account holders in the Bakersfield area.
The two institutions have talked about a merger "on and off for years," said
Chevron Federal's marketing vice president, Suzanne Walden. But three to four
months ago, the two began discussing a merger that would "essentially save" Star
Energy, which like Chevron Federal serves primarily Chevron employees and their
families.
"We feel that it's in the best interest of Chevron employees as a whole," she
said.
Star Energy's president and CEO, Cheryl Kline, did not respond to repeated
requests for comment Wednesday.
If the merger proposed formally last month goes through, Walden said, Star
Energy's members would gain access to better interest rates, products and
services because of Chevron Federal's greater economics of scale.
Chevron Federal, federally chartered in 1935, has acquired at least eight credit
unions, according to the state Department of Financial Institutions. It
maintains 14 branch offices in California, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

segal bought Terrapin for 50k and changed name to
Black Sea Oil in december 2006.
http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?capId=27461016
it was trading at 4.80, currently at .20
No board for it here at IHUB.
Terrapin address 17 Carlton Road. Monsey, NY 10952. The business address for "jack" Jacob Hiller. Amsel?
ok, so they have rights to drill
what we don't know is what sort of deal they have with the govt. and land owners...royalties etc.
rights is one thing...but the details behind the deal are a big deal
i actually sold at .51 today
dunno why they put the e on it
IMO with multi-billion dollars worth assets this stock should be trading on big boards. On BB lands it is hard to get a necessary attention from investors, and afair price. Plus, the company needs to finance those projects, according an article I read from Ukranian sources, the company needs 55m USD to develop only ONE of those three projects. For a BB stock it is difficult to get such amount of loan.
There are two possibilies IMO at this point, either we get loan or we do JV with a bigger company. GLTA
EAGLE
From their 5/10/2007 dated PR:
"As part of this
significant expansion in Ukraine, Star will open and staff an office in Kiev, and has retained Ryder Scott Company, LP., Houston, Texas, to assist in updating valuations of the respective fields."
who's going to do 'evaluations'??
lol yeah i read those posts too, they were without facts so I ignored them.
Well we have great assets at the moment, if we could get the evaluations done i think the share price will move up. I think the market need a reliable third party to verify those asset numbers. thats why i guess the response to news was very weak.
someone posted on yawhoo board some slander about the CFO...but the more i read about it, the more he sounds like a guy with a successful career...i don't see someone like him going from a massive success with one company and bolstered reputation to some shady operation (credit counseling company he's affiliated with)...seems a big price to pay imo.
probably just an effort to bash the company and loosen up some cheap shares
I don't see any reason to not think this play is for real and that they've got a big foot in the Ukrainian door with their oil fields.
sometimes you have to ignore the shadows and follow the light ;)
"crazy price action...panic or manipulation?"
I think it is because of oil prices are going up due to concerns over hurricane Dean.
sounds like their efforts have paid off over there...i suspect this will continue running after the news spreads and the few who bought from .50 to .20 take their profits (not very many).

we need a statement from the company's leaders in a PR to explain exactly what happened here. This is a very serious matter.
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/070731/serge.ob8-k_a.html
That will do nothing unfortunately. With extremely rare exceptions, the SEC does not do any enforcement on bb's and pink sheet stocks.
This is one area in which crime DOES pay, thus the amazing prevalence of fraud in those markets.

Park Ave HQ address in New York City no less..
A u.s. company that owns 100% of a Russian oil asset. If someone had told me I wouldn't have believed them. This company seem to have defied the odds provided by Russian parliament. Of course this is a small company by any standard.
Management not even remotely experienced in the oil industry, but appears to have retained advisor/board members...ie Armenak Safarov from Canadian oil industry and Nord.
This is going to be interesting to watch.
thanks eik! I appreciate your DD and insight. Very good moderation, by the way. Please keep it up!
We moved up nicely in Germany today - huge volume. I recognized that we had some serious volume the last couple of days in Germany. 5.8 million shares traded so far on the Frankfurt stock exchange ... amazing!
All the best to you and good luck! I wonder where we will finish at the end of this week.
Well, quick research:
1. Russneft sold Volganeft in December, 2005 to "Samara-Nafta"
http://www.oilcapital.ru/comments/2006/01/091542_82659.shtml
There is no mentioning of VolgaNeft on Russian version of RussNeft website (the English version is outdated).
2. Amerada Hess owns 65% of Samara-Nafta now. Samara-Nafta is led by Simon Kukes, a former CEO of both Tyumen Oil Company (TNK) and Yukos Oil:

http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=101801&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=688437&highligh...
http://www.vremya.ru/2006/166/8/160856.html
Conclusion: we own completely different Volga-Neft.
Please, let me know if I am wrong.
I also like the chart and Friday's volume. Holding my recently purchased shares.
BTW, I am not sure that VolgaNeft you are referring to (open company in Russneft structure) is the same Volga-Neft (limited company with 2 owners. Did they buy it from Russneft?) that was acquired by Star. Address doesn’t match. VolgaNeft has a subsidiary OOO Kondurchaneft and a bunch of properties, which was never mentioned in PRs.
http://eng.russneft.ru/structure/info_5052.stm
http://eng.russneft.ru/structure/info_5053.stm
They give very detailed list of properties acquired
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/061006/20061006005352.html?.v=1
and never mentioned “seven oils fields in Samara Oblast, which are Bulatovskoye, Kazakovskoye, Vvedenskoye, Erkulskoye, Smorodinskoye, Chernoozerskoye and Yuganskoye ones”! Volganeft’s total recoverable reserves are about 11 million tons of crude oil (~80 mln barrels). But Volga-Neft’s only Rodnikovsky field has 95 mln barrels of extraction reserves.
As to the "pink flags", I was referring to the article http://www.assoneft.ru/press/press.html?id=918 (Samara Review - in Russian)
Which indicates that nobody ever heard about Star Energy or Volga-Neft in Samara, these companies don’t produce any oil there, there is no real estate properties in Chapaevsk worth $8 mln, etc.
Pretty confusing, I will look at this, when I have time. If you can clarify all this, please, let us know. Welcome aboard, jephtah! Looking forward for your posts.
hello board, this is what my "Russian sources" said:
Volganeft has about 11 million tons of recoverable crude oil.
http://eng.russneft.ru/structure/info_5052.stm
In addition, on a chart technical point, we have a "golden cross" coming up (50-day MA crossing 200-MA to the north), which is a very bullish chart pattern. It`s hard to determine exactly when this will happen, maybe during the next 2 weeks of trading or so.
So as for me, I`m all positive and excited about what`s about to come up in the next few weeks!
Have a great weekend all!
Well, stock added ~12% since the first post… and today’s volume was kind of impressive. I’m looking at some Russian sources now that are not negative but raising some “pink flags”. So, I will refrain from pumping SERG for now. :) IMO: Keep holding if you own a position (as I do), or wait for a pull back for the first entry.
sounds good...have added it to my watch list for time being...GLTY
<<This is being done to address considerable investor interest in Star being observed in Germany. >>
Yes, researching the company, I have noticed that "above average German interest". The stock is discussed on German message boards and is followed by German analysts. They call this Volga-Neft merger breathtaking and set the 12-month price target 2.1 EUR (about $2.65).
