MoneyWeek Round Table 25th March 2011. Round Table conferences are a regular feature in this excellent magazine, which I believe is the best source of good investment ideas in Britain. They get a group of top experts together and publish a report, usually 4 pages, detailing their conversations.

The cover says; "Steady as she goes. Stocks to buy for choppy markets, page 28."

The conference header says "Our experts recommend the 11 best stocks to buy now."

Angelos Damaskos, the CEO of Sector Investment Managers has 3 buys and one of them is Soco. He mentions last year’s disappointments then describes the $200 million investment in developing its acreage; “We think this year the exploration program will yield some very attractive results.” Strong finances are mentioned. He then describes the management team as a serial deal maker; buying assets early, developing them then selling them when they reach maturity. They are seeking deals for part or all of the company.

I hope this cheers you up as it has me. I am over invested in Soco!
