Update on Huday Nazar SPC 1 wellsite
Set 13 3/8" casing at 280 metres and drilling ahead in 12 1/4" hole at 992 metres, to hydrocarbon objectives between 1680 and 1840 metres. An intermediate wireline evaluation is planned prior to setting 9 5/8" casing at approximately 1500 metres. A second wireline evaluation will be conducted after drilling the 8 1/2 " hole to an approximate TD for the well at 2400 metres. In the event hydrocarbon anomalies are encountered in this well, the well will be tested and subsequently cased and suspended upon confirmation of a commercial flow of hydrocarbon.

yep baggers - i've received that message - spam or not , i wanted to let you know
""buddy just spoke to CEO yesterday about BGMO , he said a PR will be coming out today! I have a feeling they have got the 140 million dollar contract. Its a quite gem but it will attract a lot of investors in once the PR comes in. EASY 10-20 Bagger. Time to load up even if its a little. imo GLTU
A 500 million dollar contract with immediate 140 Million dollar deposit is about to be received by BGMO! This is huge with a O/S of only 49million shares and float of only 2.5 Million shares
I repeat 2.5 million shares this is way under valued and is going to explode tomorrow.
a/s 200 million O/S 49 million and FLOAT 2.5 million
140 million taking 30% profit as claimed by the company =42 million profit
42 million / 49 million o/s = 0.86
0.86 x EPS value of 15 = 13 $ a shares . The current pps is only 0.27 ""

Msg 985 of 986 at 8/7/2009 11:05:39 AM by egyinvestor
The following message was and updated on 8/7/2009 11:07:10 AM.
UPDATE
I received an unsolicited update call from S FLA. ALL OF THE following info was passed on.
1 The 70 mm FARM IN deal with Santos in Tajeekistan is now winding up with an announcement coming possibly as early as next week.
2. The second Krygstan well to be spudded next week will be seeking an enclosure 10x the size of the first well with a potential of 30to 50 mm barrels. The target is at 2400 meters
3 Details on the Albania plan shoul be released near the end of the month. They are planning a deep well which could produce light oil with a lifting cost of 2$ a barrel . If the well is successful they could potentially have as much or more cash flow than Bankers Petroleums very extensive heavy oil project. No details yet on who the partner or partners might be.
4. The recent heavy selling was the result of a failed takeover attempt. The ousted director had brought in other investors to try and gain control of Manas but when it failed he took his consortium to another project. The total shares distributed were in the 3 to 4 million range.
5 Our contact believes this quiet period should be used for additional buying before the news.
I have added soome more shares this am at .45. Cheers to all MNAP longs.
Thanx for the link
XOma ready ** Chart technical **!!!

It is the hot new thing on Wall Street, a way for a handful of traders to master the stock market, peek at investors’ orders and, critics say, even subtly manipulate share prices.

The Thirty-Millisecond AdvantageGraphic
The Thirty-Millisecond Advantage
Today's Business: Charles Duhigg on Trading Strategies
It is called high-frequency trading — and it is suddenly one of the most talked-about and mysterious forces in the markets.
Powerful computers, some housed right next to the machines that drive marketplaces like the New York Stock Exchange, enable high-frequency traders to transmit millions of orders at lightning speed and, their detractors contend, reap billions at everyone else’s expense.
These systems are so fast they can outsmart or outrun other investors, humans and computers alike. And after growing in the shadows for years, they are generating lots of talk.
Nearly everyone on Wall Street is wondering how hedge funds and large banks like Goldman Sachs are making so much money so soon after the financial system nearly collapsed. High-frequency trading is one answer.
And when a former Goldman Sachs programmer was accused this month of stealing secret computer codes — software that a federal prosecutor said could “manipulate markets in unfair ways” — it only added to the mystery. Goldman acknowledges that it profits from high-frequency trading, but disputes that it has an unfair advantage.
Yet high-frequency specialists clearly have an edge over typical traders, let alone ordinary investors. The Securities and Exchange Commission says it is examining certain aspects of the strategy.
“This is where all the money is getting made,” said William H. Donaldson, former chairman and chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange and today an adviser to a big hedge fund. “If an individual investor doesn’t have the means to keep up, they’re at a huge disadvantage.”
For most of Wall Street’s history, stock trading was fairly straightforward: buyers and sellers gathered on exchange floors and dickered until they struck a deal. Then, in 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission authorized electronic exchanges to compete with marketplaces like the New York Stock Exchange. The intent was to open markets to anyone with a desktop computer and a fresh idea.
But as new marketplaces have emerged, PCs have been unable to compete with Wall Street’s computers. Powerful algorithms — “algos,” in industry parlance — execute millions of orders a second and scan dozens of public and private marketplaces simultaneously. They can spot trends before other investors can blink, changing orders and strategies within milliseconds.
High-frequency traders often confound other investors by issuing and then canceling orders almost simultaneously. Loopholes in market rules give high-speed investors an early glance at how others are trading. And their computers can essentially bully slower investors into giving up profits — and then disappear before anyone even knows they were there.
High-frequency traders also benefit from competition among the various exchanges, which pay small fees that are often collected by the biggest and most active traders — typically a quarter of a cent per share to whoever arrives first. Those small payments, spread over millions of shares, help high-speed investors profit simply by trading enormous numbers of shares, even if they buy or sell at a modest loss.
“It’s become a technological arms race, and what separates winners and losers is how fast they can move,” said Joseph M. Mecane of NYSE Euronext, which operates the New York Stock Exchange. “Markets need liquidity, and high-frequency traders provide opportunities for other investors to buy and sell.”
The rise of high-frequency trading helps explain why activity on the nation’s stock exchanges has exploded. Average daily volume has soared by 164 percent since 2005, according to data from NYSE. Although precise figures are elusive, stock exchanges say that a handful of high-frequency traders now account for a more than half of all trades. To understand this high-speed world, consider what happened when slow-moving traders went up against high-frequency robots earlier this month, and ended up handing spoils to lightning-fast computers.
It was July 15, and Intel, the computer chip giant, had reporting robust earnings the night before. Some investors, smelling opportunity, set out to buy shares in the semiconductor company Broadcom. (Their activities were described by an investor at a major Wall Street firm who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect his job.) The slower traders faced a quandary: If they sought to buy a large number of shares at once, they would tip their hand and risk driving up Broadcom’s price. So, as is often the case on Wall Street, they divided their orders into dozens of small batches, hoping to cover their tracks. One second after the market opened, shares of Broadcom started changing hands at $26.20.
The slower traders began issuing buy orders. But rather than being shown to all potential sellers at the same time, some of those orders were most likely routed to a collection of high-frequency traders for just 30 milliseconds — 0.03 seconds — in what are known as flash orders. While markets are supposed to ensure transparency by showing orders to everyone simultaneously, a loophole in regulations allows marketplaces like Nasdaq to show traders some orders ahead of everyone else in exchange for a fee.
In less than half a second, high-frequency traders gained a valuable insight: the hunger for Broadcom was growing. Their computers began buying up Broadcom shares and then reselling them to the slower investors at higher prices. The overall price of Broadcom began to rise.
Soon, thousands of orders began flooding the markets as high-frequency software went into high gear. Automatic programs began issuing and canceling tiny orders within milliseconds to determine how much the slower traders were willing to pay. The high-frequency computers quickly determined that some investors’ upper limit was $26.40. The price shot to $26.39, and high-frequency programs began offering to sell hundreds of thousands of shares.
The result is that the slower-moving investors paid $1.4 million for about 56,000 shares, or $7,800 more than if they had been able to move as quickly as the high-frequency traders.
Multiply such trades across thousands of stocks a day, and the profits are substantial. High-frequency traders generated about $21 billion in profits last year, the Tabb Group, a research firm, estimates.
“You want to encourage innovation, and you want to reward companies that have invested in technology and ideas that make the markets more efficient,” said Andrew M. Brooks, head of United States equity trading at T. Rowe Price, a mutual fund and investment company that often competes with and uses high-frequency techniques. “But we’re moving toward a two-tiered marketplace of the high-frequency arbitrage guys, and everyone else. People want to know they have a legitimate shot at getting a fair deal. Otherwise, the markets lose their integrity.”

Manas signed an extended farmout term sheet for 6
Blocks in Albania
MANAS Petroleum Corp. (MNAP.OB)
Baar, Switzerland, July 21, 2009.
Manas Petroleum Corporation today announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, DWM
Petroleum AG signed an extended farmout term sheet covering Blocks A, B, D, E, 2 and 3 in
Albania to a Finance group of international Oil and Gas investors. Both parties have agreed to
keep the terms confidential until the signing of a shareholders’ agreement.
Erik Herlyn, Chief Executive Officer of Manas Petroleum Corp.: "With this farmout Manas
could both lift the large exploration potential of blocks A, B, D and E and additionally drill a
well to appraise the Sphiragu discovery in blocks 2 and 3.” This farmout is consistent with
Manas` core strategy of acquiring major oil and gas licenses for prospective under-thrust
structures and then limiting the financial burdens and risks associated with the exploration
and development.
Manas has been awarded Blocks A, B, D and E on December 26, 2007 and has explored the
blocks since. Portions of Blocks A, B, D and E are now drill-ready. Blocks 2 and 3 were
previously explored by Occidental Petroleum including a 5000 meter deep discovery well in
2001. The council of ministers ratified the Production Sharing Contract for Blocks 2 and 3 to
DWM Petroleum on July 8th 2009. Following the award of Blocks 2 and 3, data regarding
occidentals discovery were made available and the Company is currently preparing a 51-101
compliant estimate of the discovery. The farmout is subject to the execution of a final
agreement with the farm-out partner.
