Allied Energy Corporation (OTCMKTS:AGYP) Stock in Focus
Allied Energy Corp. (OTCMKTS: AGYP) is primed to hit higher prices this week as shareholders hope for $0.5000 after shares reached 8.14% green yesterday to reach $0.4000. In heavy trading volume of 449,112, AGYP is gaining momentum after a positive Q2 financial report which shows cuts in operational and net losses as expenses were cut dramatically. All free cash flow was reinvested back into the Company’s primary activity: leasing oil wells and applying new technology to make them commercially new again.
The fast-moving events in the Middle East (fall of Afghanistan to Taliban last night) was a catalyst in yesterday’s positive stock increase in AGYP. Rather than a dangerous journey here, AGYP’s oil reserves are at home in Texas — cutting costs, a dangerous journey and in once commercially-viable producing well sites, such as the Green Lease Site and Annie Gilmer.
