obeJJB - your posts are longer than some of the papers I wrote at business school. They're well written and interesting - but a week ago you were sipping the Loukas cool aid and talking about 42,000 BOE -look at what was reported - 36000 ? Last qtr you were high on the same stuff and extolling the virtues of 36,000 BOEs - what did they actully do - 31000 ? Remember " the train had already left the station " Truth is they have over promised and under delivered badly. Holding any oil stock that paid a good dividend the last 4 or 5 yrs you would be a lot better off than holding OBE. Can't blame ' the truth 54 ' for his negativity. Loukas and his fellow mgrs have made a lot of money and we , the shareholders have made nothing.
