petrotechthe reason the stock price of these Pubco's is in the toilet is because the companies have failed to properly inform the shareholders.
What the hellare you doing trying to explain this. It should be for the company to properly analyse and diseminate that kind of info.
Instead they first tease everyone with photos of core deliberately and in my opinion deceptively leaving the public to prognosticate :-) what it all meant when insiders knew exactly what it meant. Further IMHO insiders posted and or had posted bogus security and political concerns about Algeria so they had an excuse of why the stock price was declining in the face of "oil soaked core" pictures.
To make matters worse they said the electric log info would be out in the middle of february but the following day they halt the stock and announce a dry hole with no information that a lay shareholder might understand. Total BS.
Deliberate?
I happen to think so and that is why I will average when this thing finally bottoms out.
Finally I agree with what the Wildcatr posted. Heads should roll specially in the PR department.
