FeedFool,

 

I can picture Rio breaking out BIG time soon.

 

It's been consolidating for four and a half years.

 

RIO.L or RTP for anyone who's buying on the NYSE.

 

If you're looking for something really speculative check out FTO.L (Fortune Oil)

 

I'm long @ 6.7 pence

Don't like the chart of GTL. Sure, it can't go much lower but if you buy now it might be dead money for a long time. What I'd do is wait for the volume to dry up and then for GTL to run up on volume taking out a small swing point and then buy a pullback on light volume. It needs to prove it wants to go up before I'd buy it.

 

But no matter how good it looks I wouldn't buy it when the spread is 25%. Perhaps the spread is smaller during trading hours but this is one of the great disadvantages of penny stocks. In the case of GTL the stock has to gain 25% before you can even break even and that's not counting the commission.

When I bought FTO.L (the only penny stock I own) the spread was only .25 pence (3.7%). Bid 6.50 Ask 6.75

 

Also, I was pretty impressed by Fortune Oil's last earnings report:

 

28/09/04 09:05 AFXF

 

LONDON (AFX) - Fortune Oil PLC six months to June 30 2004

Sales - 58.54 mln stg vs 45.82 mln

Pretax profit - 3.13 mln stg vs 2.44 mln

EPS - 0.08 pence vs 0.04

 

LONDON (AFX) - Fortune Oil PLC, which invests in oil and gas infrastructure

projects and oil trading activities in China, said its interim pretax profit

jumped 29 pct as all group operations achieved profitability.

 

Pretax profit in the six months to end June 2004 surged to 3.1 mln stg, or

0.08 pence a share, from 2.4 mln stg, or 0.04 pence a share, in the year-earlier

period.

 

"This has been one of the most successful trading periods in Fortune Oil's

history," said executive vice chairman Bruce McGowan.

 

There was increased profitability in almost all the group's operations,

including a return to profit by its Zhanjiang Fu Duo LPG joint venture.

 

"We are benefiting from the rapid development of the Chinese economy and the

consequent growth in demand for energy," said McGowan.

 

First-half sales jumped 28 pct to 58.5 mln stg despite a 14 pct decline in

the US dollar against the pound during the year. Volume throughputs increased

for most of its operations, reflecting the increasing demand for oil and gas in

China.

 

"We will continue to focus on developing our natural gas business but we

also expect other opportunities to arise in the oil sector as China's markets

gradually open up," said McGowan.

 

In early 2004, the company accepted an offer to sell its 24.5 pct interest

in Bluesky to China Aviation Oil (Singapore) Corp Ltd (CAO). While the approval

process has taken longer than expected, the company said it is satisfied that it

has sufficient available funding, or access to funding, for its planned and new

investment programme.
