JDZ Nigeria-Sao Tome e Principe

[oilman007]

I am trying to understand this board and this stock. Could somebody please give a brief summary of why this stock is down nearly 60% from its highs, and heading back towards its yearly lows? I haven't read a lot on this board yet, but you all seem rather positive, whereas I would think you should be negative on teh company and thinking about running to the hills.

Also, what advantages are there to investing in a stock like ERHE versus Chevron and/or Exxon- the big boys that make money and are still exposed to the same area. Seems that is far less risky.

Thank you for your help.
