ERHC Rival Hyperdynamics Soars

After some key hires and a live teleconference, ERHC Energy's friendly rival in the West African waters has soared more than $0.50 in three days.

The stock had been trading as low as $0.53 just 10 days ago, and hit $1.10 a few minutes ago, up from $0.93 at the open. It had closed on Monday at $0.73, and at $0.62 last Wedneday.

Along with ERHE FEEC, it is one of the three smaller oil securities we have watched and traded over the past 6 years with intermittent success.

The ciompany on Aug. 11 announced significant new personnel additions, including geology and marketing experts from BP and Amoco, respectively.

A recording of the HYD teleconference and several newer press releases are available on the Hyperdynamics Website.

FEEC has also moved over the past two months, from a low of about $0.22 to around $0.36 today - a good 50% move for the mathematically challenged.

None, however, can compare to ERHE's spectacular 600%+ gain since January, when it was selling at $0.11 and this analyst strongly recommended a buy.

Here is the Aug.10 release on new hires:
