How long it takes is hard to gauge but it shouldn't be months, may be weeks. What's the company?
Andes Energia (AEN)So the upshot is I couldn't sell even if I wanted to?
The FT has more on the story
https://www.ft.com/content/8db14392-4b47-3dea-ab3f...
"Mercuria, which already owns about 8 per cent of Andes, is expected to offer below the share price of the AIM and Argentina Stock Exchange-listed company, which has more than doubled in the last two months to value the company at more than £400m."

Thanks.
Im am confused now. When it says "are expected to offer BELOW the current AIM share price" does that mean that if this does go through, the value of the shares will drop? Sounds disappointing.
Yep - but doesn't mean it will necessary go through if shareholders/board vote against it. Just have to wait and see. Im am confused now.

Does anyone have any tips for a good share price monitor? I've been using google finance but half of the prices have frozen so it's not much use and longer... shame as google is normally good for a clean interface/info heavy layout. Something with an android app might be nice so I can share the list across devices, but not essential.

UKOG 3.2 today, massive profit so far, I might sell some of their stock and hold the other half.
I got in 'a bit too late' and am up 42% in a week! I wanted to get in the week before which would put me massively up, but couldn't find anything to buy in with.Just my thoughts, but I've put a stop loss in at 2.99 (still a more than comfortable return in a week!) and am reviewing it every day. You might be better (again, just my thoughts!) holding for a bit longer with the relative safety net of a stop loss there. IIRC, they've said 2-3 weeks before the core results are back at which point there will be a more definitive view of what's down there. If other oilers are anything to go by, this potential news could see a nice run until the results are out. If they get as good a finding as they're predicting, it ain't going to be long before a major comes sniffing for a part/complete buy out - a company the size of UKOG would struggle to manage that size of resource.
There, now I've said it, sell every damn share you have in UKOG!!!!

I'll hold on to it for a bit longer then, thanks for the insight. I was foolish enough to buy cheaply and sell @1.80, then I quickly bought back @2.2 so I'm already kicking myself for being too hasty.
I've also spoken to few folks who work in the antimicrobial field about the MTFB. If might be massive if the trials come out successful, it was described to me as "potentially the best thing in over a decade". The current low price seems to be holding steadily so in worst case my loss won't be massive as I bought their stock on ISA with no levarage. Their new drug has a huge potential, not many analysts are interested in this company but the innCap recently announced their target price at 100p (from 125p previously).
I'm loving UKOG at the moment 
I'm still standing by what I said yesterday, but keep a keen eye on your stop prices. As much as I would like to believe (and I do!) that this is a reflection on the company's potential value rather than just riding the good news train, a smallcap having 4 or 5 +double digit days can quickly take an about turn. I do think there's more to come though, but my stop price is now quite tight for a bit of a safety net (current price is 3.88p, my stop is on at 3.65p).

And that's where I'm a bit nervous, I bought their stock on the CFD platform on IG and it won't let me raise the stop level above 1.95 (it's tied to the opening price). I might close few positions soon to get at least part of the profit out. A bird in the hand...I'm still standing by what I said yesterday, but keep a keen eye on your stop prices.

I'm using IG, and I don't seem to have the 'stop' and 'limit' columns available - can't see them in settings to add them either? Are you using the free version of the platform? I'm guessing those features aren't available to me.Gallons Per Mile said:
