d12...great post! Thank you!

I have always felt that NOT was being manipulated by the Big Boys

i.e. hedge funds, brokers, institutions etc.  With the fabulous news

coming out with each of NOT's press releases, and then watching a

plummet in stock price follow...there was no other conclusion! imho.

How could it be that ever since JPM was brought aboard to

"maximize the stock price"..the stock price has dropped like a rock!

Many will say that this is because the tonnage hasn't been proven

out yet..I say that we all know tonnage is currently estimated at

appx. 7 million tons and any day drilling of  the next door anomaly

might  double the tonnage or more! What'sw not to like?!!!!

Could it be that JPMorgan has some very big clients that they would

like to position in NOT  at a rock bottom price ,and they well know

that shenanigans are going on, but keeping NOT at a low price until

more tonnage can be proved is just what they really want ?!  Thus

they  remain silent as huge trades are made back and forth between

big institutions, basically nullfying each others trade and keeping the

the SP down!

I'm just a small investor and may be uninformed or naive, but  I truly

feel that we are pawns in the Big Boy's game...and it hurts!

But if you play with the Big Boys you have to act like a Big Boy..so

I'm holding all my shares, and will sell a few when it reaches $50. ..

maybe!

I say that we ask IBK and JPM to make a" presentation" to the

current stockholders  via video and then perhaps we can  judge

them fairly! ;-)

cheers,
