Ok, I totally agree with you. Let's talk only about things that are important, like getting news. If we could rely on the BOD providing us with regular updates as with FWR, then we would be able to expect that our SP would have appreciated in a similar pattern to FWR's?????
I agree that something has to be coming down the pipe soon or there will be no other way than to assume there is nothing there. Do we really want to go there at this point. We have three drills doing their thing as compared to FWR with one. We have superior talent making the decisions as to where these holes will be placed. They have some reason as to why they are not providing updates ( this was a problem even before RN left). I cannot honestly provide a reason why they are doing what they are, other than it fits with their long term strategy. I am not prepared to become an armchair quarterback and opine that I have a better plan that they should be following, and anyone that thinks they can is stupid. End of story.
FWIW, as of yesterday, I have an equal amount of shares in NOT and FWR, and fully intend to sell them all as a ten bagger on or before May 2009.
JMHO.
