I agree it's a big gamble. But so is watching the company hang on by its fingernails. The calculus isn't simply gauging the likelihood of positive results from 2-3 holes. It's weighing the likelihood of succees from 2-3 holes against the likelihood of survival without a deal for drilling- or at least for how long. That's the question. Like you, I, too, believe in the good faith of the company. But, since the odds for either of the outcomes is equally unknowable, it makes comparing the odds a pretty tough problem. Hopefully the BOD and JB will find the solution nonetheless.
