    any ideas?

    I’m buying 20,000 shares in this penny oil
    Chuck’s recommending for $3,000

    If they prove up that $4.8 billion of oil on their property
    -- as Chuck expects they will -- I could end up with $100,000 in
    profits from this one, single stock!

    The company has a 2,400-square mile concession in Brazil bridging 8 huge oil fields. At current prices, I estimate the total value of this company's potential reserves at close to $5 billion.

    They've pinpointed five oil-rich drill sites and just started the test drilling. The first well already struck oil. More results due out within the next two weeks. If the test drillings prove up commercial quantities of oil, we could see shares double or triple in short order.

    And if this company proves up the $4.8 billion of oil that Chuck is expecting is down there -- those shares could easily explode to $3 or $5 a share.

    You guys will not go wrong with this stock in my opinion, even at this price.

    I have been a holder for over 6 months and it is finally delivering on its promise.

    The chief, Phil Galloway is an absolute gun, and John Weston, the petroleum Geo and also a director is one of the best petroleum techincians globally.

    By the way, if you trade on Aussie market, the ERH options (Code: ERHO) have a piggyback option...ie if you exercise for 10c you get a share (of course) and another option exerciseable at 20c...you do the sums to realise how cheap they are.

    Cheers

    Nice Sleuthing on this one nanopole. After reading the Penny Oil Speculator teaser they sent me and learning what the stock name was from this site, I bought 15,000 at .14 a couple of weeks ago and it's up to .51 today! That's a 264% increase. Hopefully the good fortune of this company continues like the newsletter says it will.

    Dont worry, this will go hard.

    Tomorrow will come out of trading halt with three new institutional investors on board...one of which is Thorney Holdings...which is the family investment holding company for Richard Pratt (unless your an Aussie you probably dont know who im talking about.

    The guy that picks the junior miners for that holding company is John Cathcart who i know quite well...and he rarely gets it wrong.

    The other two investors in the placement are Blight Capital and a Hong Kong based fund.

    We should also have a weekly update shortly with a oil reserve statement that should make the market really sit up and take notice...

    By the way if you have Powerpoint, there is a new investor presentation on their website (www.erohydro.com) in the 'announcements' section which is worth a look (most of it technical stuff, but there is some 'English' in it lol)

    Cheers

    Thanks for the info Cdchi1.

    Everythig you've said and everything I've seen tells me that this company has a huge amount of potential and is about to take another jump.

    The only thing that bothers me is the mediocre volume. But I suspect that will change soon. I think I may have to invest a bit heavier in it.

    Regardless of the merits of the company, would wait a while until the end of financial year ( taking profits) action finishes on the ASX, FSUMF is off nearly 10% on profit taking. Should be a nice upside end of June

    that would be a risky strategy...ERH will most likely have announcements before the end of the FY. SP could do anything if these are positive.

    dhanko, i know that, im an aussie lol

    News is expected before end of June (assuming they can get teh workover rig before then in which case weekly updates will recommence).

    Also not sure there will be as much profit taking end of June this year, because the tax rates are changing on 1 July...ie lower marginal tax rates for next financial year may cause people to defer profit taking until after 30 June.

    As I understand it ,the stock that's being discussed is ERHYF.PK, if that's correct "Pinksheet" lists this stock in the Grey Catagory, meaning buyer beware, and is not traded by any US brokerage, so how do you buy this stock, I use Scottrade and they can't help me. Could some give me a clue, thanks in adavance and any other info. on this stock would be most helpfull.

    well it had a VERY VERY good announcement last week regarding development plan for its 330 prospect...my numbers show, based on their announcement, a valuation of $90m-$100m...a broker mate's back of envelope agrees with my valuation.

    The promising thing is that 330 is their 'baby' prospect...the 430 prospect, where they just hit 143m of oil and is currently being assessed for potential, is many many multiples of 330 in terms of potential.

    As usual the expert financial press in Australia seems to have completely missed the significance of last weeks announcement (not one article regarding it), however some clever investors did not as the SP rose strongly on the ASX, even today despite the main Aussie Index falling over 1%.

    Despite the rise the market is still significantly undervaluing the company...with a workover rig to start work on assessing commerciality of 430 this week (should take around 3-4 weeks), the upside from here is very significant...however of course the risk is that 430 disappoints in which case the SP will fall...however the potential upside is so much bigger than the downside (hence why im invested in it).

    yeah it fell allright, it fell almost 50% from its high...but on bugger all volume...ie some small fry lemmings that tend to get cold feet real quick...oh and probably a few chartists that had heart failures as soon as it dropped below 45c (they would have sent it tumbling to the 35c level it hit at one stage).

    There seems to be a few impatient people that think that ERH will fulfil all its potential in a couple days...unfortunately thats not how the mining game works....and people like this tend to lose their money real quick. Some guy on an Australian stockforum recently called this company a 'disgusting stock' since he bought it at 56c and it had dropped sub 40c a week or so later. I felt like telling him to get out of the sharemarket before he ends up on some park bench with a paper bag and bottle of scotch for company.

    Mining companies, specially the juniors, take time and patience...two things I have plenty of.

    Spreadtrader- You didn't ask me and it's not Aussie but look into Goldspring Inc. Price approaching .04, proven reserves worth .10, Nice catalyst coming up in August when they announce drilling results. They own approx. 75% of a large property in Nevada which has some nice gold and silver reserves. I own the stock and I'm not looking for just a quick double.

    There are several i like (and hold) for long term investments...but right now there is nothing other than ERH I would buy if I had spare cash. Stress on 'I' since I am willing to take the high risk that comes with investing in ERH...as per my post, if 430 disappoints, ERH investors will take a big hair cut.

    If you must know, I'm a fan of (all Aussie listed):

    - Atlantic Gold (gold stock with a project in Canada - the management are the founders of Plutonic Resources which they built to be the 3rd biggest Aussie gold producer before it was taken over)
    - Kentor gold (gold stock with a high grade project in in Krygryz republic with a resource that cant be announced yet because its not up to Australian standards - this will happen by end of year - and it has some geothermal exposure)
    - Panax (geothermal play run by Bertus De Graaf who was the founder of Geodynamics)
    - Eastern Iron (a low grade iron ore play with bugger all shares on issue - at current iron ore prices, imo this will prove commercial as the iron ore is easily and cheaply upgradeable to a higher commercial grade - company needs to prove this first though)
    - Platsearch (iron ore exposure, and 21 joint ventures, and a recession proof explorer, since it gets other companies to spend all the exploration money)

    These are all long term investments unlikely to go anywhere in the short term with the market the way it is. Just like ERH when i bought into it over a year ago (happened a little quicker than I expected actually).

    Cheers

    Sorry Krishna, am not familiar with any of those three companies...though given the name moly mines i suspect its focus is molybedenum and there seems to be quite a bit of interest on that front, though i prefer to stick to the common base metals (Copper, zinc, lead, nickel), gold and oil.

    Industrea is a 1 out of 5 positive. Broke the trendline at 0.41 Aus and that is NEVER GOOD. I think this one will hit 0.17. Next support at the April lows at 0.35.

    Moly Mines is a 4 for 5. this one broke the trendline at 2.85 and that should have been your signal to bail out. Next stop is 2.45 with the April lows of 1.65 a possibility.

    Aurox is a ZERO out of 5 technicals positive. This one broke the trendline in June at 0.87 and would have been your wake-up call. March lows are 0.60 so there may be some support there.

    Remember, these are technical comments only. I always use both technical and fundamental when I invest. I know nothing about these three stocks fundamentally. Supply & Demand rule and I would not own these.

    Panax - 5 oor 5. Broke resistance at 0.19 in June. Target 0.33 with trendline at 0.15
    Eastern Iron - Zero for 5. Broke trend at 0.39. On the way to 0.11
    Platsearch - 4 for 5. Broke trendline at 0.19 on the way to 0.10.
