RE:the key is the income tax payable each year. Are you firstworld without the spelling/grammar problem? Using your theory, VLE could never reach where they are today, so something is broken in your logic. Also, the 2 large shareholders, who may possibly know more about the situation than guys in Canada, are committing more money as they buy shares... incomprehensible with your logic. Also, the reservoir seems to have a life of its own, giving and giving and giving again... so the calculations of reserve life must be faulty. On Tues, we will hear more and if they are closing operations as you suggest, it will then become apparent that your pessimism is grounded in reality. If the SP rises on Tues due to good news, I guess you will have missed an opportunity... too bad.
