Lang and Gooch,
Why would you waste a perfectly good (hopefully) news release when the markets are in such a state? Come on, boys, it cost millions to drill those holes...which collectively you and I paid for...so we would all want the best chance for max impact, wouldn't you agree?
And to judge from previous posts, you both would be the first to bitch about a great release that that went nowhere (because the market wasn't watching). So, you can't have it every which way...but between the desire for immediate gratification - and the long term of the company - I know where my vote is.
