Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd (LSE:GKP), looking a bit risky

#FTSE #WallSt   The term “getting cancelled” is thought to be very recent but, we suspect the methodology was first embraced by a small group of internet people, collectively known as the ‘GKP Gestapo’. They had a problem with anyone daring to write logically about the share, using their ‘offended gang’ to create an email/social media campaign against both the unfortunate journalist and also, the publication editor. This woefully stupid stance had a consequence; for quite a while no-one wrote about Gulf Keystone as the hassle wasn’t worth it. Yet their share price continued to fall. There are currently investors who need GKP above 45,000p to break even, thanks to these pound shop “promoters” actively silencing common sense. Currently, it’s trading around 92p!

Obviously, we’ve a personal axe to grind, often due to spending hours running analysis and producing 500+ words on potential GKP future prices, only to find hesitation against publication for fear of rocking the boat. Amusingly, the method used by the self appointed defenders of ‘Gulfy’ remains in use today by those groups anxious to find offence. Whether the subject is Climate Change, Gender, Cryptocurrency,  Trump, or pineapple on pizza, the moment personal attacks are employed, it has become easier to believe the other side.

Rather than provide rebuttal against any facts, instead they attack a writer on a personal basis and hope the mud sticks. Currently, there’s an American guy called “Jim Cramer” on CNBC who constantly appears to be the subject of ridicule via Reddit and Twitter. While we’ve scant knowledge of his broadcasts, the attacks against him appear based entirely on his personality, rather than anything of substance. We can only assume at some stage he ran afoul of the agenda from a group of chatroom experts, folk now determined to “cancel” him.

As for Gulf Keystone currently, things don’t look very useful.

The immediate situation suggests below 81p risks triggering reversal to an initial 63p, a price level which hopefully shall prove capable of a bounce, if only due to historical price movements. Below 63p risks being ridiculous, calculating with the threat of an ultimate bottom down at 20p, this being a level below which we cannot calculate.

There is a slight hope for a panic bounce anytime soon, if only due to the truly awful drop potentials. Currently, their share price needs exceed Blue (141p) and hopefully do something convincing. This works out as capable of triggering price recovery to 190p eventually. Our long term secondary, should this target level be exceeded, calculates at a future 270p

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.

UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
