RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:PTA's Chairman (Jeff Boyce) added 1,800,000 shares
One misconception is that PTA and GTE are peers.
This one comes up here time and time again.
GTE operates assets, makes sound financial decisions, is critical mass in cash flow, production, and the public market. It has earned the trust of investors.
Why is PTA cheap?
You invest money in the present in return for the promise of more money in the future.
The price of the instrument reflects the value of that promise, and it depends on the trustworthiness of the issuer. If the issuer is regarded as trustworthy, the price is high. But if the issuer is regarded as untrustworthy the price is low.
PTA is scheduled to run through its cash on 10 wells, all non-op, mostly exploratory. It's capital cost control is therefore as close to nil as it comes, as is its timing of operations.
