"We need to take small steps finish one project at a time, and then proceed."

Yes Gumby makes total sense. So lets finish one project. Forget the need to list right now. Finish a project EOR, Libya, Mauritania,etc etc. Sign one of these deals. Just one and I am sure the paltry 200k (in the scheme of billon dollar deals) we are talking about is a done deal. MF told me that he would have no problem announcing a deal without trading. That was back in early Sept. Still no deals done and no trading. Two things he told me were highly likely to happen in Oct.
