Now you are really going over the top. It is time to chill out. Are you aware of the fact that of 10 juniors only one ever actually appreciates in the long term Of course if you want to choose between the basher and pumper side the bashers are generally going to win. But when they lose they lose bad, keep that in mind.
Secondly, I am not and have not been suggesting that this stock is going through the roof, far from it, what I have said consistently is that we are still sitting on top of a massive oil deposit. What is going on in the market place and what is going on with all the M&A activity or lack thereof doesn't change that fact one iota. I do however believe that there is a lot more M&A activity going on than most people realize and that may have a nice upside impact on this play, we shall just have to wait and see. No one can predict how long but I am willing to go out on a limb and say somewhere between 3 and 6 months or so. The reason some of the other companies are interested ties back to the massive resource VST is sitting upon.
Somewhere a long the line you have become extremely negative and nasty and I do not understand why or how. Maybe it is your experience with LFD, but it seems to me that you are exploding in a frenzy of bashing without looking back at the fundamentals. Sure they are weak in terms of financing, sure there has been less obvious activity in the region, but I reitterate, it doesn't mean that there is one less drop of oil beneath the property and that is something you clearly need to wrap your head around.
Don't forget, a cardinal rule of investing for some (and it is certainly the case for me) is that when everyone else dumps on a play that is precisely the time to buy in. I think the market (and by this I mean the people who contribute to buying and selling and cause the flucuations in price of stocks) has gone way overboard in terms of taking the lustre or shine off this region and with time I will be proven right here. The oil is still there regardless if you want to completely ignore that fact or if other investors want to ignore that fact and no matter how much the market overcorrects. You simply can't erase that reality no matter how deep you stick your head in the sand and expose your backside...
Virtually any post is full of "ifs" and assumptions unless you sit in a room with blindfolds on and stay rigidly still and even then you can only continue IF there is a lot of oxygen. Your point has no meaning or relevance here. One must make some assumptions and you are entitiled to make counter assumptions or other assumptions if you care to, it is simply the way I see things evenutally playing out in a general sense.
To wit: If one were a betting man I think that one would be very safe to say that this property will eventually realize a lot of oil and whomever is involved with it will do extremely well down the line. Will VST realize any of that? Not necessarily, but I think you are surrendering much to quickly to the masses of lemmings running to the sea and dumping and jumping over any possibility of seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. This is a classic loser mentality and I expect much more from you.
I suspect we shall see something materialize within the next 3 to 6 months which will significantly affect the SP to the upside. It is not like I am saying it will go to $20 dollars either, you need to re-read my estimates 25 cents is not really that far out of the question nor is 50 cents, quite frankly, it could be more as well. I think Baxter's hypotheses is a lot closer to the mark than yours, that is all. You clearly believe not, but only time will tell who is right here. One of us may be eating crow much sooner than you think, and surprise of surprises it just may be you. I reitterate, you need to chill out a bit and look for more balance, the Swiss are famous for that by the way.
