Anyone here holding KISTOS?
It's already went up 40% the last few months and 100% since it's inception which wasn't that long ago (less than a year).
Had you invested £25K in his previous company 5 years later you would have £1 million in the bank. I'm not saying that will happen again as past history doesn't represent future returns. To give you a bit of background information the company holds an interest in low operating costs and low overheads gas fields just off the coast of the Netherlands. Now these are mainly unmanned operations and therefore very profitable and first of it's kind really where he's bringing a lot of value of these especially since gas prices have doubled in the past year. Up 50% just a month or two back.
Below is blurb from the official site and some youtube interviews below with the latest I have embedded. I was just tipped off to this by a pro trader who has made significant sums in the past year alone we are talking 400% plus. I was just wondering if anyone had some insights into this before I invest?

The guys resume speaks for itself. Is gas considered a risky investment currently?
