I don't buy it either. I believe that all the volume of the last several days was shorts covering into the announcement. Of course, shorty had a little bird whisper something in his ear beforehand. Any guesses who that little birdie with the loose beak might have been?

Clue...aside from tremendous exploration and production updates, what is the only news release we received since those heady days when owning ECU was a dream come true? C'mon, you know, the one that started the downhill slide, and the "informed shorts" campaign of terror, destruction, and outright theft.
