RE:My own analysis of the situationExciting. Agree with your assessment. Only point I would add is that we are currently going through a shake out period where many of the short term goal speculators are being replaced by longer term outlook value investors - looking at this and other boards this is clearly happening IMO. This phase won't take long then nerves will calm and sanity will descend once again. I think the long price ascent will probably begin long before the end of this year. Paradoxically, your sentiment along the lines of if it takes 10 months to get going, well fine, I can wait (which I totally agree with) is the broader sentiment actually required to move things on much sooner - this kind of outlook was proportionately less common even a couple of weeks ago IMO both here and in II. Sentiment previously was previously weighted more towards the Stella drill bounce and selling into first Stella oil, probably even more so on II than here. Doug
