<<Everyone has their own style. If you check my posts, I do a ton of DD. My average is about .03, but I have nowhere near a million shares. Wish I did!!!! But I haven't sold a single share and have no plans to sell. >> Never? In at .03 and if it goes to a buck, you are not going to sell? Wow, you must have alot of confidence in this company. Gamble for me. With gambles, I normally take at least my money off the table at 100%, if I get 100%. May leave the casinos shares to ride, may not, depends on company and situation. So, what is your long term price target for sprl? <<This one is an all or nothing for me and I go in with eyes wide open, irrespective of anybody else's post. If it goes to a buck or $10, that's great. I have a diversified portfolio so it's not my life.>> Ditto here as well....but, I would still more then likely sell and get MY money off the table if the situation presents itself...I need .29 for a double. <<I'd probably buy more as more info becomes available. At that point, it goes from being a gamble to an investment for me.>> Certainly if all goes well...... <<I know you don't like the pumping guys, but you have to admit, so far, they have been right on the money. Although I don't get thrilled with pumping posts, I do note trends, and the trend of accurate predictions has been greater than companies that I follow that are fully filing.>> Have to respectfully disgaree. The 'pumpers' have been extremely wrong. First they said buy now cause it will never see .12's ever again. It did. Predictions of going to .25 - .40 by last friday, then they changed it to monday/tuesday...it went to .115<g>....Yelling for a press release, then praising them for not putting one out, then praisng them the next day for putting one out. Saying they will load up the truck if it ever hits .12's again, and then not buying a single share when it went to .11's....I could go on and on ( I am known for that <g>), but the bottom line is these 'pumpers' have been wrong far more times then they are right....heck, they even finally got the new they were looking for and yes it did get a nice one day pop, but it it still at .14 or so, noplace near the wild .25 -.40 predictions....and what the one poster who GUARANTEED a huge runnup on the next news? And JM telling me this will be $1 within 3 or 4 months...and another poster saying it will be above $5 by end of 05. They were wrong before, and they more then likely will be wrong again, although I do not discount a nice move up if good news indeed does come out. <<So far, the info has been accurate. THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW COMPANIES THAT HAS POSITIVELY WORKED A REVERSE SPLIT TO ACTUALLY ENHANCE SHAREHOLDER VALUE. Many companies talk about this, but very few do this. To me, that is establishing some very strong credibility despite the pink filing.>> Agree to a point...the game is far from over...the company still has to make some money<g>....if they dont, it wont be worth .00005 a share..if they do, well, as you said, let the company dictate it's value by it's performance. <<You can find good and bad for every stock. That's why it is called a market.>> Very True. <<Look at PJTG which you posted about. Somebody else could say you were "pumping" it, particularly as you posted on other boards. I don't have any problem with it. It was useful.>> Na, big differance in PUMPING and simply posting some news onto one or 3 boards and telling people I see some positives, but it is a 100% gamble and do your own dd. I never tell people BUY NOW...Never post outrageous price predictions. <<You could focus on the great results, which you did. OR you could post endlessly about dilution and potential dilution and there certainly is that there as I suggested to you in a prior post. In fact, there's a strong argument that the o/s doubles in PJTG.>> I tried to post a few good things I liked and then told people to do their own dd. Posted some news articles. It's up to the individual to go from there, but I certainly dont 'pump' any stocks. <<One man's bash target is another's pump.>> True again, but yet again, if you look at my posts about pjtg, they are pretty benign..certainly not pumping as the purple pump gang is doing. In fact, instead of guaranteeing huge profits and telling people to buy now before it is too late, I try to go out of my way to always say it is gamble and to always do your own dd. <<I'd rather see informative posts rather than attacking the messentger.>> I agree, but if if the messenger is not sending the proper message..... <<Every case and every stock is different.>> Yep. <<Respectfully, I suggest you may be better off not getting too excited about hyperbole and start charting results.>> I always look at the charts and try to do thorough dd. Question: This is a very little known and little followed stock....many of the shareholders have been in for a nice gain already....If they arent buying more now at .14, I dont see them buying more at .30 or higher, especially if they have an original cost basis of .02 - I know you said you may buy more higher if/when it becomes an investment and not a gamble anymore, but the bottom line is, unless sprl pulls a miracle out of their hat, I dont see this being a $10 stock <g>...not saying it cant make good gains from current levels, but have to be realistic...MOST people in at .02 - .10 will probably be selling on a pop higher....My question is, since this is such a little known company, who will be the future buyers and where will they come from? <<Take care>> You too.....

<<The "in" investment now is going east to Russia, Ukraine, Kiev, etc. Continue with the credibility and this will catch the attention of those who play value microcaps and foreign resource investors.>> Caught this from your post on the other board....so, you answered my question as to where you think future buyers will come from<g> Thanks....

Decent Volume today...it would be nice to see a bigger pop on this volume, but up is always better then down..... I still find it very hard to believe that some of those guys from the purple gang, own 2 million shares or more, with a cost basis of about .02, yet they claim they haven't sold any and will buy more? Who believes crap like that?....that many shares of a penny stock that went up 1000% and they didnt take profits and are still buying more instead? Yea, right...ok.....<lol> Hope the volume and rise up can continue, although with only 10k shares, I'm not too worried about it....Lets see if the company can come thru in the near future with some positive news to get this moving and get it on some more radar screens....Most folks I know have never heard of SPRL....not uncommon for pinkies, though....

STRAT PETROLEUM, LTD. (SPRL: OTC. BB) www.stratpetroleum.com Strat Petroleum, Ltd. (the "Company") was the result of a reverse takeover of F2 Broadcast Network, Inc. which was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, to acquire licenses to develop oil and gas properties in the Russian Federation. The Company redomesticated to Wyoming on July 9,2004 Management intends, during the next six to twelve month period, to acquire interests in licenses for oil and gas properties that have proven reserves and where possible capped or producing wells. Proposed Business The Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire 49% of a license in a property in the Region of Orenburg called the Rozhdestvenskoe Oil Site. Company Direction & Vision Strat Petroleum's envisions building a strong vertically integrated petroleum company based on opportunities available in the Russian Federation and neighboring countries. This will be accomplished through acquisitions of interests in licenses to develop crude oil sites with proven reserves, an equity investment in one or more refineries, and through the sale of refined products secured from a number of refineries with which the Company has very strong contact. The Opportunity The Company stands to acquire interests in licenses to explore and develop oil and gas properties in the Russian Federation. The Company's management and advisory team have developed a very strong network of contacts within the various levels of government, banks and independent associations in the local oil and gas industry, which we believe will provide access to many opportunities to bring value to shareholders. The Company has currently signed a memorandum of understanding to secure a 49.0 percent interest in a field in the Orenburg Region with proven reserves of at least 70 million barrels of oil, based upon reserve reports filed with Gazprom. The Company initially will be targeting acquisition of interests in licenses to properties with proven reserves and where possible with commercially producing or capped wells, i.e. focusing on development and not exploration. The Company has also established contacts with a number of refineries that will allow it to have access to refined products for sale into international markets. All product sales will be in U.S. dollars and may be sold to both international and local customers. The Region of Orenburg The initial opportunity is the right to acquire a working interest in one or more oil and gas fields in the Region of Orenburg, Russia, which is located in the Urals of Western Siberia. The Urals and Western Siberia are home to Russia's leading producers of oil and gas. This region represents a major potential market for U.S. companies interested in sales and medium to long-term investment in the petroleum industry. The oil and gas sector in the Urals and western Siberia possesses major advantages, which include not only its enormous prospected oil and gas resources, but the proximity of deposits to oil extraction equipment suppliers, and to the European market. Orenburg Oblast (Province) is also a leading oil and gas producer. Exploration has revealed over 140 oil and gas deposits. Proven reserves of oil exceed 127.4 million metric tons, while gas estimates are 821.1 billion cubic meters. The region has an estimated 40 to 50 years of commercially exploitable natural gas reserves. Orenburg currently produces between 8.4 and 8.5 million metric tons of oil. [Barrels is the commonly understood measure.] However, substantial investment is required in order to further develop the region's oil and gas extraction industries. Only about 1% of proven reserves have been extracted which not only leaves significant quantities yet to be extracted but large tracts of land still untested. Russia's Oil Industry New Russia has had two major and paradoxical effects on the oil industry: production has dropped sharply but the industry's importance in terms of the foreign currency it earns has risen dramatically. At its peak, the Soviet oil industry produced over 11 million barrels of crude oil per day (mbd) in 1987 - that was more than Saudi Arabia, more than every other country in the world in fact except the United States and over a sixth of total world production. In 1995, production was about 6 mbd - a reduction of almost half from the 12.5 mbd achieved in 1988. The reduction in production has several reasons; most significantly is the decline in the massive infrastructure needed to keep the oil fields operational. Many Soviet oil fields were thousands of kilometers away from their markets and thousands of kilometers inland, in Siberia or Central Asia. The industry needed massive maintenance for pipeline systems and machinery. Partly it was an effect of political chaos. In Soviet days, the strong machinery of the state had ensured that an industry like oil, vital for the whole economy, was kept running no matter what. Once central control was weakened, Russia's captains of industry started competing among themselves for resources, and oil could not be guaranteed primacy. That Russia has substantial reserves of oil is old news. What is new is the dramatically enhanced role in Russian politics, oil technology, and energy markets have given to its petroleum sector. Throughout the 1990's, privatization in Russia and innovations in exploration and drilling technologies brought into production oil fields that had until then been underperforming or completely off-limits, has resulted in increased production to 8.2 mbd in 2003. To energy companies worried about growing domestic instability among the major oil exporters of the Middle East, Russia has become an even more attractive hedge. Regardless of its political turmoil, Russia will continue to appeal to oil companies, which know how to operate profitably in countries with weak property rights and unstable politics.
