Sidewinder,
great to hear from you. You bet, when, not if , we have that big shareholders meeting, it will be great to meet you guys in person. I started in a trailer park in the inner city of Miami, and proud of it. Lot of waiting and hard work to get out of poverty, but it can and I have been blessed by God to do it. I got a tip about this stock from an IBM executive. I began researching the stock three years ago. I read an article on line where an Army general over the European command made a speech and said the US expected to get 25 percent of its oil from Africa in the next ten years. The general was speaking to a group of African leaders.

So with the seismic data, statemets by the General to African leaders, US support offers of military assistance and training, the low price of the stock, the fact oil was already being developed in Africa...these are the factors that made me buy in at 150k. I have seen my stock drop way down but stuck it out.

We are in far better shape today than when I bought in. The stock has recovered from the big drop, we are totally licensed, we are partnered with China, American companies are partnered with us in the other blocks, and news media is quoting sorces saying there is a huge find in block one stradling our block two...and we still have rights available to us in further bidding rounds.
Sidewinder, thanks for the reply...it was great to hear from you...holding on to this baby sometimes gets tough and tiring. I have always been inspired by Rudyard Kiplings writing "If". It is only a couple of pages long and is on the internet I am sure... It kinda describes what we are going through and what it takes to make it into the winners circle...I have thought about it many times in my challenges to build a company from scratch. Thanks to you and all the great people on this forum...as opposed to the critical input by some, I think many people like you and others are sincere, intelligent and resourceful people that really are trying to help themselves and others. I now I get a lot out of this board.
