Not4saleyet, you say, ".... but they really should keep an eye on the SP to protect their investors."

Although I agree with this statement in principle, what difference does the share price make if you are in this for the long haul?

I would rather have NOT's ducks lined up, than be up a few dollars(on partial resource news). In other words let NOT management have the true value, of NOT's resource, in hand, so that a Major does not buy this under value. Part of that strategy, I believe, is to try and get good news out of the JV's and area plays to show how big this really is, before NOT reveals much more.
