Well, here we are almost at the magical number that was forecast not too long ago. Since then, we have posted every conceivable theory as to why we are where we are, where we are going up/down, and what needs to do to change the course we are on. Some are sitting back and don't really appear to be too worried. Some are trying to figure how to make a few pennies either way, and the the whole thing is a mess with no drilling, no planes, different thoughts on who is the good guy, the bad guy and the stupid guy. NR today, no effect. Ziltch. Just careful manipulation, bit by bit.

And that tells me they don't want to drop it too low. Just enough. We really need to solve the movement problem in and out of the area, get the big rigs up there, and do the job that needs to be done. I believe they are doing everything they can. I may be naive, but I appreciate some of the posting today that is in support of NOT and what they have said they would do and have done.

At some point, hopefully soon these problems will be solved. Happy folks up there and an earnest effort will settle nerves and jitters, and drill results that mean something and are not lost will push us up. Retail has to feel confident enough to buy and maybe the big will finally let this stock go........up.
