I can understand your frustration with Connacher's management. Every time things seem to be going in the right direction, some event occurs, that reverses that direction. Many times it appears that management has made the wrong decisions and maybe in hindsight they have, but at the time they made them, I am convinced they used the data they had available. Connacher is a startup company run by an individual with a grand vision. He wants Connacher to be a world class oil company! In my opinion, he is driven in that regards and will do whatever he thinks is necessary to achieve that goal, even if it appears at time is is taking steps backwards. If you go up 40,000 feet and look down at what he has accomplished, it is quite remarkable. He is producing with netbacks better than that of Shell's production.( Report today on Bloomberg on Shell) He now is confident that the last major hurdles have been overcome and he sees clear sailing towards his vision. I think he will achieve it!

That said, please look at my other post with regards to TSHTF. If there is a total worldwide collapse, Connacher's surviving may be iffy, but if there is a chance I want Gusella to be steering the ship!
