Lurk & Learns:
Sometimes the wait can be excruciating(sp?) as in the TXP case.
Some "advanced" level explanation(s) over on ADVFN today. Bottomline, appears to be the (apparent) stock price manipulation (capping) is some form of insurance being used by an entity protecting their holding from volatility. Proselenes speculates that this "put" (short) will have to be covered eventually. Thus returning TXP to previous highs; then beyond once NGC connections are realized by the market.
Anyway, feel free (highly recommend) L & L's check out the exchange over on ADVFN. For me the point remains, Coho and the Cascadura Complex connections followed by Royston success will help to close the "gap" being suggested by Cannacord:

Slightly closer to home, Paul Baay's Trinidad-focused Touchstone Exploration Inc. (TXP) lost three cents to $1.37 on 237,700 shares.
- The dip came in spite of a glowing analyst write-up. "Touchstone is set for a return to high-impact news," proclaimed Canaccord analyst Charlie Sharp in a research note this morning.
- He noted that Touchstone spudded its most recent well on its Ortoire block, the Royston well, on Aug. 12 and will likely have results by the end of this month.
- This should be "the most significant market catalyst" in the near term. Yet it will not be the only near-term news;
- Mr. Sharp also expects Touchstone to finally achieve production at Ortoire -- from a different well, Coho -- "around the turn of the year." (Touchstone was originally aiming to put Coho on production in early 2020.)
- Mr. Sharp concluded by hiking his price target on Touchstone to $2.80 from $2.55 and maintaining his "speculative buy" rating. As usual, the disclaimer at the bottom of the note was at least as interesting as the note itself.
- The analyst's employer, Canaccord, is not only a provider of investment banking services for Touchstone, but also a "market maker or liquidity provider in [Touchstone's] securities."
BWDIK? Patience as Covid and weather impacts timelines?
