i think the cloak and dagger conspi******s are wide of the mark.
they're likely foot to the floor to try and get morocco done and were sloppy / outdated / loose with the wording. they are probably more focused on what they need to get done than sat around constantly on the phone to valkor to check the permit status or sleuthing the internet on marine tracking websites like us.
not impressive by any stretch, but i don't believe it's some sinister attempt to mislead and manipulate shareholders.
Whilst it did hint at small incremental gains, it was once again light on detail, raised a number of questions and wasn't entirely accurate, which is fairly poor. I'd give it a 3 out of 10 on the basis we might finally get a trial done this month after a comical saga of delays.
I really really hope this wasn't our best effort at trying to drum up enthusiasm for a fund raise, and there is a lot more detail to come.
Too busy "delivering" to update us after the results, though a distinct lack of any updates on delivery since then. Even the LinkedIn guy seems to have given up.
Morocco trial was supposedly going ahead in April, though we are now tumbleweeding into mid-May. Leandra now leaving dry dock likely fitted with all sorts of new kit, though no mention of us getting to use any of ours. Utah? Yes, well Utah. Apparently there might be some oil there, but God knows if anyone will ever get at it. Don't worry, the Americas will save the day. Must be due an MoU!
To think they'll soon be holding their cap out again makes me feel a little bit queasy.
It's an anonymous internet forum and you'd be silly not to take the vast majority of posts without a healthy dose of scepticism and challenge. Equally, the forum has been blindly defending the woeful performance of the board for years and, on top of much great research, there have been countless wild theories, what ifs, and maybe justs (none of which have come to fruition and have proved to be pure fantasy). Those could just have easily influenced decisions made by others by being so doggedly optimistic, but I don't think those involved ought to be constantly lambasted. Noone is forcing anyone else to buy or sell anything.
I just don't like having to trudge through the whining and personal attacks. There's a filter so why not use use it. The intentions may be good but just posts facts if you want to make a point and save others from evil internet baddies.
(Absolutely not a pop at you by the way, I have valued many of your posts and you provide balance, which is helpful and appreciated, but can be done without it being a constant vendetta, surely.)
Salinger, I get you have an aversion to much of what Brian/Haggis/whatever-he's-called posts, but he clearly is invested here and is trying to add to collective knowledge. Sure, I get you think he's over-enthusiastic, but have many of the forum stalwarts not presented countless theories over the years that haven't transpired? We all know to do our own research and consider things in the round, but is it really necessary to go for everything he posts. You don't have to agree but it all seems very personal and is fairly tedious to read.
Then just analyse the quality of the post and contribute to improving the conversation. Personal attacks are pretty low end. I actually don't want to filter either of them as they both contribute and add balance.
I value everyone's contributions, but can we stop the constant hounding of certain posters? Everyone has just as much of a right to post as each other. If something is inaccurate then by all means call it out, but the constant personal attacks are a bit tedious. Sorry, just starting to grate.
