fubar,

I have to disagree. The following is my take. When they realized what they had discovered (Elephant Maximus), they wanted control of the company., but not at .20. That would have cost too much, so they instituted the news blackout knowing full well what would happen to the SP when everyone was begging for the drill results and got nothing for months. They were wildly successful. .05 sounds much better. I'll bet they now have control.

Within the next month or two, we are about to witness the complete change from a news blackout to a full blown PR campaign. Some might think that would look fishy, not at all, they put a new CEO in place. Every manager has his own style, right? This new MO will just be the new CEO manageing with his own style. RIGHT!!!
