RE: Would be good to have some positive news12 Feb 2021 15:39
Camelot et. al. Your frustrations with leadership are shared by many on this board. We have to be honest with ourselves and recognize that if we were in POQ’s shoes earning the wages that he receives for limited responsibility we too would be slow on the draw to closure. Yes, he will be well rewarded when this investment closes successfully, but in the meantime, there is little incentive to pull the trigger until more is known, or at least publicly shared. Like many on this board I suspect that POQ and the BOD know much more than they sharing, and I think this may be intentional to present any deal (when published) to have the appearance of greatness. Yes, the more that is proved the greater the value to us all. To that end, the other E&P entities are also working to connect the dots across the NT. I suspect FOG and these concerns are sharing what they know in an effort to value toward commercialization across the entire NT oil and gas horizons. That benefits everyone!! No doubt that POQ is truly overpaid for the effort his job requirements demand he put forth. His biggest historical problem has been his multiple statements regarding openness and sharing of information….he fails on this massively. With that, it seems to point to his lack of concern for retail holders like us and some likely intent to keep share price minimized so he can look accomplished when (FOG) eventually sales to Origin or Inpex or whomever. Someone posted a reference to lack of business knowledge by posters a day or two ago and the demands thereto. That would be an applicable argument if in fact FOG had a body of employees to manage, services to deliver and/or products to produce. POQ just has to monitor the market, ensure that the company remains listing compliant, and from time to time, perhaps travel or Zoom to meet with Origin or other concerns. He literally lives in a stress-free work environment. Origin is in charge…..not POQ. That was confirmed in the recent deal. But was it?? We do not know the details of that deal!! I bet the big block holders do know the true value within the details of that deal and their deep pockets aren’t as risked as ours. Like others, I believe the back of a napkin, wink..wink deal is not written but foretold in that deal within and through a handshake window of what may be proven. Only time will tell!! We wait and hope for the delivery of information….not likely with this leadership given the history to date. Only the sale in late 2021 or mid to late 2022 along with an occasional spike as activity confirms what is in the ground will bring us real value. No demand until that occurs, we wait!! Bottom line, presently there is no demand for this stock on the open market and that is on the back of current and historical leadership. Marc Brunner did great harm to the market believing in Falcon. Especially related to Hungary. Fortunately, POQ has repaired Brunner's structural catastrophes. I do believe this will be a winner. GLTA
