Wow I thought I was pessimistic. My first thought was how could someone be that pessimistic and still be an investor then I read further and find out your not. So what are you doing here? Even your beloved Halliburton was an unheard of nobody at some point. Now they have become so large and powerful they seem to be moving more towards the mercenary business and less towards the oil field service business. Guess its easier to just shoot people and take there money than work for it. I truly hope this little unheard of pee on company never gets that big and powerful. These little guys have gotten government approval for the project, and working with the government have managed to pound out a final draft of the agreement. Is it going to be easy sailing from here? No, but I'm betting they are going to pull it off, my money says its going to be next year. and yes the stock value will unwind to nothing this winter. So check back in 6 months or so maybe you will be able to say I told you so, then again maybe you just won't say anything thing at all.
