Wysiwig,
we are all in the same boat, trying to get info.
I have dealt with the same broker for 4 years and had many conversations with him, he has picked good stocks for me. I dont get the impression that he is bull****ting me. Why would he, i am a just 1 client with very small holdings.
Why would you be trying to get info out of your stockbroker? What would he know that isn't already known by the market. If your broker is bullish on this one it is time to get a new broker. Sounds like he is blowing smoke up your ****.
This was posted on HotCopper by Walliska... my read of 'everybody is getting smashed' is that Richard is too... and their financiers... they don't seem to care at this stage.... have had no reply to my email yet...

Firstly sorry for the delay folks but have been in meetings all day
What did they say
Spoke to Richard
Rig arrives onsite this Friday as confirmed. There could be a number of days setup time - as expected. They will then begin work on Barker Creek.
They will definitely release results at the completion of each interval. I asked whether we would have these results by 30th June in order for option holders to make a decision.
The answer was "don't know" - he said could take 7 days (guess what - after options stop trading) or could take 20 days - these things happen in oil and gas industry - delays, might have to go off site to get consumables etc
Tried a different approach and asked why the comment made by the analyst was now appearing in reports again and on what basis was this statement made.
The analyst viewed the wireline logs in October after the initial gas and oil finds and based his conclusions on these logs. I then said well why don't you release the analysts findings to the market - don't have to and basically said they needed to secure that information due to competitors / etc.
This gave me some measure of confidence.
I said to him "what would you do with the options" - he basically said he would exercise - I quickly asked how you could come to that analysis relative to the information in the market. Did not really get a reply but mumbled something about a wireline log again.
I may be incorrect here but we have been analysing the picture they release each time and wonder why the gas or oil formations are shown bigger (shading) up the well rather than Barker Creek which they describe as major gas interval. Posed this question and mumbled something about wireline logs again.
Questioned him about underwriting options - no real answer but my tip is either Locke or Oceania have already a verbal agreement in place - subsequently as I said before they don't really care about the shore term share price.
One comment that irked me was that he said "everybody is getting smashed" - well andrewe - I invested quite heavily in SDL and they shot to 40 cents today and they are not getting smashed - so who is"
Sorry for the vague information but simply repeating what was the least informative discussion I have had with them. At least he remembered who I was.
My underlying feeling is they have a commercial well - and that those that hang around will reap the rewards - to them June 30th has no meaning.
