Hi Elena
Right now its not a good idea to buy this share on a technical basis. This share has been in a down trend since 2012. The best area to have made a quick trade was 235 but that trade has gone already as it bounced of that level nicely. So now your best bit is to wait for a 123 low signal to occur and then only would you look to enter this share and not before.
123 low signal is used to determine when a share has potentially ended its down trend.It gives the green light to enter. If your wondering what that is then look in the learning section.

As with any share..If you wanted to buy a share its only advisable to buy at support and only if the trend is up.
hope that helps

Today Ophir announced receipt of just over $1.29 Billion for 20% of blocks 1,3 & 4 in Tanzania from a Singapore company. Singapore is likely the target market for the Gas found.

Their website says that they own 40% of these fields. I am unsure if this is after the transaction.
So let us assume they now own just 20% of these assets.

This transaction values them at $1.29 Billion for the cash and another $1.29 Billion for the remaining 20%.
The company has lots of other assets.
The market cap is £1.489 Billion.

Last week they hit a duster and the SP is heavily down and not far above the 240p support level trading at 250.70p at the time of this support.

Should I enter at 240p with a tight (235p?) stop?

Or wait to see if this support is breached.

I see a low of 178.75p in August 2011.

Any other views appreciated.
