RE:Les and $2.53 Options...GG, your enthusiasm is just a tad out of touch. IAE will be awash in debt next summer (perhaps fall) when Stella starts to produce. As well, there will be start-up hiccups without a doubt on this complex field for at least 6 months. So, best case scenario, let's assume that Stella begins producing in early Q3 next year, and that full, sable production takes 6 months. This takes us to Q2 2016, and then IAE has to begin to seriously shed it's considerable debt which will take another year at least. So, the $$$$$$$ that you are referring to will most probably come, but it won't be until well into 2017. The share price is currently sitting at $1.06 and will most probably drop to under $1.00 tomorrow. With the Saudi's unwilling to cut production, IAE share price will languish well under $1.50 for the next couple of years until Stella is stable and proved out AND the debt is paid down. My guess is this company will be sold for less than $2.00 by next summer. And you know what, THAT would be a blessing. The sooner the BOD pulls the plug on this company, th better.
