To repost what he said:
Somm, you appear very bitter, you really don’t seem like you want this to succeed at all?
As you’ll well know if you’ve read my posts, at this moment in time I think your pessimism is well wide of the mark. In fact I think unless you have an agenda to spread gloom and misery, for what purposes I don’t know, then I’m not sure why you are here?
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, lots of people have made comments cautioning not buying in because they feel more positive news is required. Most, if not all people though, have gave a reason for their positive/negative outlook, you on the other hand haven’t. You have posted things why you think the major has walked but omitted some key contextual words, those omissions are key to understanding what was actually said. The major has not walked.
The major has decided to not continue and pay for the ‘exclusive nature’ of negotions. This is does not say say begotions are over, only the exclusive nature of them. This is plain and simple English, this can not be disputed. If you can not read and understand English then investing is probably not your strong point.
If you know and understand Oil & Gas you know very well major oil companies rarely risk everything on new frontiers on their own. The cost of Deep Water Horizon is estimated at $65bn, this was largely shared between BP and Anadarko, with the majority on BP. Another one of them would sink all but the very biggest oil companies in the world and even the very big ones would have some serious existential questions and serious restructuring and asset selling, as has happened with BP.
If you are bitter from losing some paper profits I can understand but this is not the time to try and spread misery, because it’s not true.
These are exciting times, they are. Now the shackles are off on the NDA & Exclusivity news could break at anytime. I don’t know when but it could, a week, a month, 3 months - who knows?
When this is done and over and if it goes wrong I’ll be one of the first on here to admit it, but this is far from done and buried. Very, very, very, far from done and buried...
The only thing that has happened is the major has said it doesn’t want to continue the exclusive nature of discussions. That is all that has happened. The fundamentals and reasons for investing remain as strong as ever.
Good luck everyone and have a great weekend
