I've been on board for SO many exploration /story stocks that are in permafreeze waiting for regulatory approvals that I honestly can not even mentally grasp the prospect of holding shares in one that actually obtains the necessary paperwork. I'm thus kinda floating a few inches above the ground, LOL, and I will try like he## to hold my powder dry to avoid selling over-exuberantly.
I don't even know what to think.
Yaeh, of course, but.... WOW!

I just sent an angry email to the company to try to get them to realize that they are not doing the right thing by continuing to hold off on releasing press releases, especially with all the legal events happening relating to MJ in the US & Canada. I encourage anyone and everyone to do likewise. Its ridiculous to watch NOTHING come out about this company from the company, while, at the same time, all kinds of other companies are trumpeting their progresses at the opportune moment that happens to be the present moment in time. There is no excuse for there being absolutely zero info from this company. It stinks.
So, everyone.... email them. thats my thinking. Cheers.

Anyone know what just happened to cause the jump in price? Judging by my real time streaming datafeed charting package, there were two 425K share buys at 12:38 Central time. Can't find any news to account for it. Given that they had news yesterday, my guess is that a hedge fund of an ETF or a fund of some type took a big position. If so, we should see filings soon, but I'd rather not wait for filings if anyone knows what happened.

I was already in PURA and I went to their web page and read to discern whether there is anything "big" in the grow facilities involved here. It turns our PURA has a patented canabinoid process for infusing beverages. they keep that and they are getting big time into dispensing cannabis drinks (vending) , which they keep. My guess is that they may be splitting the grow off to this new entity in order to either bigtime JV or get bought out on the beverage side. I do not know this, but its logical. They will keep their hand in the game for grow facilities up there in Canada via this new entity.

Up. Thats why I wondered aloud about a Monday AM buy.
Imperial Whazoo
Phenomenal. I Just pulled up ANDI. Assuming $1500 in ANDI at .0001 & being smart enough to sell at .03. That started out with 15 million shares and that means that, at .03, thats $450,000 at selling point. 1 month, more or less.
Man would that ever be amazing.
So, even though I've been trading for years, I've never ridden a racehorse like that. Is it thus advisable, since I already own some PURA, to buy a bunch of NOUV on Monday morning in anticipation of the divy shares materializing on Sept 30th? Whats the best plan here?
Anyone ever played a hand like this one before?
Whats the very best play for Monday?

My guess is that, with Oct 17 looming in Canada, and companies like Molson/Coors (TAP), Heinekin (HEINY), Constellation Brands (STZ), Coca-Cola (KO), and Diageo (DEO) are going to be buyers of companies to expedite entry at an accelerated space into the cannabis-infused drink market. This is a very short leadup timeline so the drink capacity in place that PURA has is an attractive asset. This spin off of non-drink assets might be designed to allow PURA to do a deal with somebody and to NOT have to be encumbered by a set of assets that the acquiring company does not like or want. So, they can be a dirt and marijuana company via this Nouveau thingy and do a money raiser/JV/outright sale with another company who has money and distribution and so forth already in place.
Just thinking out loud.

Another restatement of this idea: there is going to be a lot of partnering with big pharma and big beverage and cigarette/greenhouse

I think they should approach Genie, DK, and/or Noble and offer them a piece of the company. Thats the way to do it. These companies have a natural interest because they pretty much constitute the non-Israeli oil & gas industry in Israel. If they do not raise money from somewhere, they will shutter their operations sometime shortly after September 30, 2018.

"Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Zion” or “Company”) has appointed John T. Seery to its Board of Directors (“Board”) as an independent director, effective September 1, 2018."
OK.... So, do any of you kind folk use one of those biographical and/or history sites that peopl can give us a link to for this guy? I mean.... I usually kinda poke around and eventually dig info on people out. Every once in a while, I'll even buy a one-time report on somebody, but to be honest, the ones I've paid for in the past have never been very informative. So, I thought maybe one of you kind folk might already have a public link that you could post to the board to help the rest of us do the DD on this guy.

Just a dumb question, but what exactly happened the make it true that "we doubled our stock numbers this morning"? To my knowledge, we did not do a split or a reverse split or anything like that,,,,,, right?
Please explain your exact meaning.
TIA
IW
Oh yeah. Who wooda thunk Zion would be a part of what is unfolding. There was NESS, then Genie. And DK and Noble. You know, at this rate, Israel mat actually end up with a high tech hydro-carbon industry, LOL.
Just fascinating to look at prophecy unfold. And there is no way anyone could say they have all the fractals of the puzzle figured out. At best, we see through a glass, darkly.
Imperial Whazoo
If institutional ownership does increase substantially, then there will be no basis for further declines in price in the near future; especially given the content of a post that appeared here earlier today, which recounted a conversation had between someone and Zion's IR person that said the report should be forthcoming this week. If true, then "this week" means we have no more than 3 days to wait. Personally, I doubt it will come before Monday AM.
Changing thoughts here, check out what I think is another aspect of the "hook in the jaw" of Ez 38... headline is:
"Kremlin Backs Turkish Plan to Dump the Dollar and Trade in National Currencies"
and link is:
https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/europe/kremlin-wants-to-dump-the-dollar-and-trade-in-national-currencies-1.6367704
Many an investor has watched the build up of an alternate currency to the petro-dollar, and I think the prophetic framework has been coming into focus for some time now. Dedan (Saudi Arabia) & the Isles & Tarshih (The UK & the US.... "isles" in Ezekiel's day; the Israeli geograpic view of the Earth back then) are firmly on the side of Israel now. I think both Russia & China are stoked and ready to go, but neither wanted to be the party that pulled the actual trigger. Well, along comes the ever reliable Edrogan. And along comes Zion's find. And Iran (Persia) & Russia & with military forces on the ground in Syria. And Put & Cush being staged to do the part they are described to play in the prophecy. Only Sheba remains (Yemen) unclear..... well, whether there is oil is unknown, too, LOL.
Between a currency war and an Isreali find of major oil (Zion Oil) and the Golan find (Genie), I think somebody is getting a hook in their jaw that will draw them down into the mountains of Israel. (Ez 38). I take Turkey & the southern regions of present day Russia to be Gog Magog & Tagorma. Opinions differ, but thats mine.
Just saying'
IW
Sorry for a stupid question... but what is "SM distortion"?

Ha. If I were to bivouac on the front porch, the mosquitoes would carry me off like a barn owl carrying off a baby rabbit that made the mistake of sitting for too long out in the open on the front lawn..
Kinda like what's gonna happen to knee-jerk short artists who make the mistake of being out in the open when Zion reports that the well is tremendous and very commercial.

Man you are a valuable asset, moses. Thanx.
So, to summarize so that there isn't even the smallest toe-hold of truth that explains away Blackrock's buys of shares....
And, to make it so easy to see that people don't even need to click back to your post and parse the data, here are the relevant detail lines:
You posted this detail line that show the shares related to Ziion having gotten listed on the Russell:
iShares Russell 2000 Growth 537,957 0.77 0 0 0.01 08/10/2018
And this detail delineating that Blackrock has, in fact, added substantially to it's own, NON-REQUIRED, position:
BLACKROCK INC. 06/30/2018 2,851,047 2,522,054 766.60 7,527
Thus, the assertuion that the 2.8 million shares bought by Blackrock were done out of necessity is:
Entirely
100%
DEBUNKED.
Facts are facts, baby. Facts are facts. To quote Ben Shapiro
Sooooo.... even though it is 100% pure true that Zion COULD, INDEED, HAVE SOUGHT AN EXTENSION, and did not do so.....
Even though it is pure truth that they filed early.....
Even though they laid out in clear English the unadulterated truth that their impending "run-out-of-money-date" is September 30, 2018...
Even though every single detail of these points are completely true....
Even so.... A guy like me is supposed to see it as normal and reasonable to be mocked and laughed at for plainly pointing these things out???
REALLY?!!
Frankly, I doubt I'm the laughing stock here.
Just sayin'
Imperial Whazoo
Having reviewed, once again, the 10-q filing, it needs to be pointed out that Zion actually has only 30 days after the "run-out-of-money" date.
They have a Nov 1, 2018 deadline to submit a development plan for spudding well #2. They have until Nov 2019 to actually SPUD well # 2, but they have to submit a plan by Nov 1, 2018, or they will not be able to take advantage of the government licence that allows them to do a second well.
They will generate a PR containing the test results for well #1 ASAP, in my opinion, for the following two reasons:
1.) They run out of money in about 45 days (Sept 30, 2018)
2.) They have to work up a formal development plan for development of the second well 30 days after that (Nov 1, 2018).
Suppose you are Zion's management team and you needed to raise money to legitimize a development plan that you have to have submitted by November 1, 2018, and further suppose you have openly admitted, via a timely 10-q filing, that you run out of money on or about September 30, 2018. Does anyone actually think it serves any purpose for the management team to delay announcing that well #1 is commercially viable? Will it be easier to raise money if they generate a PR without delay, or will investors respond better to delaying the well test results announcement? What BEST serves the goal of raising the money to spud well # 2: having the greatest amount of time or limiting the time during which they can raise money?
I think a modestly sizable group of hedge fund types took share positions AFTER the news that there was hydrocarbon evidence in the deep mud. They appear to have begun doing so upon the release of that news. They did not wait until the release of well testing results. They already decided to buy into this puppy.
I emphasize the word "AFTER" because the testing did not need to be completed for buying to have already happened. And the buyers were pro's.
We all fight back and forth over the same small patch of idea-land and the pro's have already made up their minds.
Hmmmmmm?!?!?
The company, last week, told the world, via an official Edgar filing, that they will run out of money about 45 days hence, and they lose the right to spud a second well aabout 45 days after that. They could have filed for an extension on their filing, couldn't they?
But they did not do so, did they?
Hmmmmmm?!?!?
They had the right to get an extension, and not only that, but their filing was done earlier than the last minute deadline.
Hmmmmmm?!?!?
IMHO, it is far more likely there is oil in them thar depths than that there is NOT.
Looks that way to me, anyway.
Just my opinion.
Imperial Whazoo
EDIT: I went back and reviewed last week's SEC filing and I discovered that my initial recollection that they lose the right to spud the 2nd well about 45 days after the Sept 30, 2018 "run-out-of-money" date was incorrect. As such, it is wrong fto have gamed out the conclusion in an earlier post that they have a very short window to spud the 2nd well. This is the exact wording from the filing:
Yeah, but read carefully: "results would be known" is not the same as "results would be MADE known"
"There's the rub", as Shakespeare put it
IW
The SEC filing this week lays out unambiguously the outside parameters of the worst case timeline. Simple as that.
They have only a certain amount of money remaining AND an extension of time to spud another well if they find oil or gas in this one. To quote:
I don't speak Hebrew so how does the mere act of obtaining photos with a recorded bunch of comments, taken through a chain link fence, demonstrate anything, either bad or good? And it does, in fact, show a well pad in place and at a level of development that is illustrative of something other than ongoing fakery.... just my humble opinion, mind you, but its obvious a well is there.
IW
So that's you, down there. Stop it. Stop it right now! Do not scalp below my bid price!! LOL.

Do the full monty and get him chipped in either the right hand or forehead, along with a DNA sample. Then, and only then, will I believe the reports that come out via the company. After all, any company official HAS to be a liar. I learned that in public school. Go Bernie! Go totalitarianism! There is no intellect on the face of planet Earth that I will acknowledge to be superior to mine, so the god of my life has to be my own ability to process data.... right?

This thing is just going to go sideways until there is a news release, however many days forward that turns out to be. Sideways basing action. Doji's. Holding pattern while everyone argues, LOL. If they get entangled in a war over there, this will turn down. If there is no war in the next 2 weeks, it will explode if they deliver a good report. If they do a dry well or a non-commercial well, it will be toast. All this is prety obvious so all this arguing about whether there is enough info right now is flatulence, IMHO.
IW
Really?? I don't think its costing more than it's worth. It is well thought out & necessary. I fail to see the lack of wisdom here that others think is present. I think that the consequences of NOT making the right call in regards to this item (the BOP) would be an absolute stupidity looking for a place to become a disaster.
Imperial Whazoo
What's "BOP"? NEVER MIND.
I Got IT... "Blow Out Protector".
I take it that the orange cap on the well is Zion's BOP.

Here's my conclusion regarding the immediate danger to Zion & northern Israel right now.... dated 7/22/18
Go to youtube: search on something such as "white hats Israel evacuation" & you get links like this one:
"Israel helps hundreds of Syrian White Helmets evacuate from Golan Heights"
New find.... this stock. I am tending to give it a serious look due to the recent filings that show insiders accumulating. Anyone out there checking this board but not posting regularly? Interesting product line, too.
Imperial Whazoo
The group such as the swamp critters on the GNE advisory board that I listed in my earlier post was, IMHO, operating intentionally along several rules that were in place when the US inserted itself into both Kuwait & Iraq. A high percentage of US foreign policy wonks assert that, in order to best insure outcomes that are in the best interests of the US, direct US military involvement in the air and on the ground over there is a necessity. So, one may permit oneself to speculate that the swamp critters involved in GNE intended to manufacture an undeniable requirement that we have boots on the ground. In essence, the GNE find was to be a pry-bar with which to pry open the direct military involvement of US troops in Israel itself. Having seen what the US did in Iraq and in Afghanistan, I seriously doubt the Netan govt wanted the US in their country with boots on the ground. Again, look at Ezra 4.
I don't think the Netan govt wanted a liberal (socialist??) controlled US government to be boots on the ground in Israel & I think they debated long and hard among themselves before deciding to play possum with the GNE find so that the swamp critters did not create the basis for direct boots on the ground involvement (that was their hidden agenda and intent all along..... that, and actually make money.)
When the major find was found (ZN's wildcat at 7500 psi & 20000 foot deep in Israel itself), the chess board changed. When the spirit in the US electorate thrust the swamp critters out of the power positions they had long occupied and counted on continuing to occupy, the Israeli govt revisited the debate and we now have the deep state making war on ZN via underhanded influences at such bureaucracies as the SEC. Exactly what happened in Ezra 4, again.
The ZN find will not be permitted to be squandered by the Israeli govt. Neither will the Golan find. They will proly have to share their find with the Palestinians because it proly extends into territories occupied by the Palestinians, and that will really upset the hardliners on all sides. I think that the oil is there and I know of the hook in the jaw prophecy and somehow this all comes together. I can not make any timeline predictions or even any anticipations of who will side with who. All I know is that God made promises to Israel, and actually to us all, and He will deliver. Simple as that.
IW
Me too.
And my read is that the Netan govt in Israel was attempting to make a calculated play to manage a series of threats from the northern areas.... Russia with high tech antiaircraft missile batteries.... Turkish incursions into Syria..... ISIS at play.... Iran with troops & acting as proxy for Russia..... not to mention Hez and Hamas and Assad and the Kurds.
And who was president at the time & what were his well known stances & who was projected as our next president? What sane person over there in the Israeli govt would have counted on "regime change" in Washington?
So, of course, playing possum with GNE's find made sense. And I think you are spot on as regards watching them if ZN delivers a huge find, as we all hope and pray they will.
Well said
IW
If there are not conspiracies trying to manipulate Zion Oil in a variety of ways, then the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.
There are far too many economic and spiritual vested interests on the line for anyone to naively think that intrigue is not going to be heavily in the mix as regards Zion and their attempt to make Israel a middle eastern oil player. And anyway, we have the scriptures that tell us what is going to happen. Jerusalem will be a cup of trembling. The third temple will be built. There will be wars and rumors of wars. This is a spiritual battle and God's promises to Israel will be delivered upon. Simple as that. End of story.
IW
You are severely representing my thoughts. I fully agree with you about Israel and all that. If I were an airplane and pro-Israel were one wing & pro-Zion Oil the other. I'd be one absolutele beauty of a high flying fighter jet, baby.
I just think the actual internals of what is going on are convoluted and there are lots of players and cross currents as people wrestle to get advantages. These deep state players are not going to roll over an play dead. They placed their bet on the Golan and then Zion actually did the big find. And there is not one grain of evidence suggesting they would not force the price down to grab shares at a discount or that the technique they would employ would be honesty. Not going to happen. They are power and they never cease to let power run. There are huge, greedy influences and they want in to the Zion party.
When did I say "Take over Zion"? Never. When Did I say "Drive the price to zero"? Also never.
To assert that I ever said any such things is to misrepresent what I actually said. Such representations are modified versions of what I actually said. There is not one single representation you have made that actually correctly states even the smallest part of my actual stance or my statements. And given that this is the fact of the matter, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'd be delighted to pick your pockets clean in a game of gin rummy.
Try, just once, to actually, correctly state my stances. Never said they were headed to zero. Never happened. Never was said. Never said there was going to be an attempt to take over Zion. Never stated by me. Never said. So, please, try to accurately represent my ACTUAL stance. Its not like I'm hiding my thoughts, is it? Unbelievable.
Ezra 4. Read it and think longitudinally.
This OUGHT to help.... Proly won't, but it should.
Imperial Whazoo
Ever play gin rummy? Watch how the other guy arranges his hand and watch him ponder and decide what cards to pick up... or not. Watch what he discards. Then watch politics, such as the rather odd decision for GNE to have announced, essentially, as regards the Golan find.... "just kidding... nothing to see. No minerals found in the drilling we did. Move along folks.... nothing to see. Nothing to see."
But there materialized a rather large fly in the ointment when ZN did its deed.
Llook at what happened when ZN seems to have found a massive find.... VOILA!.... reversal in spades.
So, is the govt of Israel playing hide the truth in geo-political hot potato-town? I think so. They realized the vulnerable position a golan-only find presented and then they are almost force by God to step in and change their determination to engage in sophistry when ZN finds the biggie.
And if somebody says "Israel would never be behind GNE changing their "news", look back at Churchill and the Enigma machine breaking codes regarding the Coventry bombing in World War 2. Sometimes a combatant has to make a big, bad decision, such as letting Coventry get bombed or forcing GNE to lie, in order to protect even more valuable assets that would otherwise be made vulnerable.
So, yeah, I think Israel is in the driver's set and it makes 100% perfect sense, if you look at it that way.
Just my opinion.
