The company needs to do a 1for3 reverse split
This would put the shares about 5.00 where they would be marginable and institutions would give them greater consideration. In other words we would have potentially at least more buying power even from existing shareholders . Not sure where the short position is today but in the past and currently in general American professional shorters having been exploiting certain small cap names like YGR due to the elimination of the UP TICK rule by regulators in Canada BUT NOT the USA . The UP TICK rule means you can only short on an uptick or sidetick NOT a downtick. These American shorters have been exploiting this loop hole in Canada as it is not available in the USA . For example say I am short ABC Corp. . On Friday at 3.59 PM I can place an at the market order to short 10000 shares . On a stock like YGR this could result in stock dropping from 1,69 to say 1.55 at the close.

You must be short this stock to want a reverse split. That is a great way to invite shorts for dinner. I lived through the ObE 7 for 1 reverse split and it dropped like a rock on the news. Eventually it was worth 1/7 of its value. I hope your idea gets rejected with prejudice.

And yes I know the banks will not likely allow this so reduce capital until debt target has been hit and let's get the buyback underway. We are about 4 months away from our debt target if we suspend capital.

Only way for this to happen is to contact management with your opinion as a shareholder directly.

Stay the course. Yes it's been a bad week but I believe the best path forward is to get to the $80m net debt then decide next step i.e. NCIB or special dividend. I'm looking longer term so so stock price action over the next 6 -12 months is not a concern.

YYC is a small town. If the drilling was as bad as you're suggesting the volume would be much higher then we are seeing.
