IthacaFerret makes some pretty good points at times . He deserves some respect.He makes the point that this is a risky business out in the North Sea but I think Ithaca is doing it right this time and if they can avoid another mess up like Pertrovac's delay of the FPSO, next year at this time the share price will be somewhat higher. It's my understanding that they get 55% of the production from Stella and if the flow comes in at 35000 BOE daily thats 19250 BOE to Ithaca. The market didn't care about anything today. It's hot, the kids are finished school and the analysts and brokers and traders are heading up the highway to get to the summer homes (used to call them cottages) , start the barbeque and open the wine bottles.Anyway I think a company pulling in the barrels that they will be doing next year even for a short time deserves a lot higher share price than where we are today. jmho
