I'm not making any predictions about the share price in the short term and I'm not recommending buying the shares, so no-one can accuse me of causing people to lose money.
There are other companies with huge resources which are surviving in spite of never having produced a drop of oil: JOG has recently doubled and PVR and LOGP have trebled from their recent all-time-lows.
HUR's failure to rally seems to be related to the fact that it is producing oil!
If it had not produced oil, it would have been impossible to create panic about the size of its water cuts, spread gloom about the 'failure' of its drilling programme, moan about the 'failure' of LC (which was merely an unexpected and unfavourable decision by the OGA), become hysterical (as the market did) when the 'interference' problem was announced, or predict the total disaster of both producing wells failing.
All of these strange ideas and reactions have been made possible by 50 weeks' (until the latest RNS) production.
Apparently, the market demanded that everything go perfectly in order for the share price not to fall.
The fact that there are sizeable shorts and that Pelham Capital have sold 29 million shares at such depressed prices reflects the depression surrounding HUR's share price.
As has been pointed out, the market is ascribing zero value to its considerable potential, with people saying that all that oil is worthless unless you can extract it.
Just a few weeks ago, people were saying that all oil was worthless - in fact, having a negative value.
