Joe, it seems to me nothing has changed, so not quite sure what your beef is.
Its still a binary play. Its either there in commercial quantities or it isn't
As you have informed us with your experience, drilling is an inexact science. So the drill broke before reaching TD. So they are casing the hole which you have told us would not be done unless they think it will be worth the cost by at some time in the future, continuing.
They have (and who knows if this is accurate), but the next target is shallower and therefore hopefully the rig might actually survive for a result to be recorded.
As for holding LB to account for her words etc, then blimey, but every single CEO ONLY paints a positive picture. To accuse her of being disingenuous would suggest this must be your first foray into buying a stock.
It looks like they bought a crap rig, ok, but they were desperate. Had the rig held out then by now we would have cased, run tests and known for sure.
So we wait a bit more.
If you want to trade this type of stock then that's great but its tricky, and you have to accept the losses that might come your way if the bet turns out badly.
But as I say, it has been and still is, a binary play. Nothing has fundamentally changed.
