Maybe they can change the date on a picture and reuse it to make things look good.
I should have got out when that happened...
no point in me selling out now I have already lost to much.
Well it looks like Russia have turned off the gas.

It's probably worth doing a sensitivity check on the effects of a change in the gas price on their cash flow - going back through the recent reports and doing some sums with say a doubled gas price.
Very roughly, they had an income of $1.8m last quarter, about 75% of which was gas (the rest was condensate), or $1.35m
They had negative cash flow of $909k over the same period.
So, all other things being equal, if the gas price doubled (and condensate stayed the same), they would have an extra $1.35m, so they would have positive cash flow of about $400k, or $2m for a year, compared with their MC of c$5.5m, or a rough P/E of 2.75.
Of course, there are a few of assumptions made above, and it's all very "what say" - who would know what will happen next. Having said that, prices can spike rapidly if external factors put the squeeze on - you never know.
Maybe HOG is already moving up on speculation?
By the way, there are plenty of other stocks on the market that would also do very well if their underlying product doubled in price e.g. BMN.
Hypothetically, if HOG was earning $2 million a year then it 'should' be worth somewhere around $31 million, or .10 cents a share, using a sector average P/E of 15.76 (http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/financialHighlights?rpc=66&symbol=HOG.AX)
Obviously this doesn't take into account public sediment, which has had a huge effect on this stock.
Anyway, I'm just sticking my nose in as I'm dabbling in shares again (found some money in a shoebox ) and I have always had an attachment to HOG. That and they made me a bit of money in the .55c days.
Thanks for the info fellas.
