The key issue you have to understand here is the June 08 options the MXR board hold - if the SP ISN'T above 0.20 during the time of exercise, the MXR board will stand to lose approximately 6 million and change.
So how does this affect if you should buy in or not?
Well - I believe friday's announcement surely gives you some idea as to how the wheels that run MXR actually work. They're VERY good at generating interest, the same chap runs FDL so he's a sharp opperator. If you'll note that with the 1.3-3 bil announcement they stated the drilling campaign will also start in May - so they're drilling right now. This is where MXR will be made or broken, poor results and MXR is back to being a small time gold prospecter and you'll see the SP tank back down to the low teens again (13 cents is NTA on this one - so if you got in (like most here did) at 13-15 cents, you really have zero downside at these levels - again, thanks YT for nailing this one!).
HOWEVER - if I were MXR and I had options expiring shortly AND I had a market already highly interested (i.e. a 110% SP increase in a DAY) I'd be releasing "updates" to the drilling campaign to maintain or slightly elevate the SP prior to the options expiration. If they get some solid hits, this thing will serious rocket.
The risk at entry at these levels (mid 20's) is certainly there IF poor results are concluded. A low 20's entry is probably the best you'll see till June - then the horse will either bolt or they'll take it out back and put it out of it's misery - either way you're going to see movement.
Heads or Tails bet at this point.
Again - I know I'm discounting the OTHER projects MXR has, but in all honesty the current FE play is all the market has shown any remote interest in.
Again - just my brief opinion - I'm not a financial advisor so do your own research and if you lose your shirt it's your own fault!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL HOLDERS!!
If that is the case you wouldn't think the shareholders would let it go under .20c. They would be their own demise...? Or am I not understanding this correctly.
Does anyone know the SP potential in the short term or long term if the news is good in June?
