Dig for info. Think about that info. Re-evaluate your position as it relates to your overall investment. Then act.

I'm not going to fill in the blanks for you, and I won't recommend what action you take, but I will give you a small example:

Let's assume you bought 75,000 shares at $0.50 in July of 2006. You had $37,500 invested and owned 0.01% of the company. For every billion dollars in discovery value, you laid claim to $100,000. Based on estimates back then, success in the JDZ would make you a millionaire!

But now, because of the dilution and reverse split you have 750 shares and only own 0.0025% of the company... you've been obliterated, right?

That's new information. What can you do with that information? Because of my background, the first thing that comes to mind is "math".

How can I get my piece of the pie back to where it was? The answer is: Now there are 30,000,000 shares outstanding now, to own 0.01% again, which was your original position, you need to own 3000 shares. That makes sense because the share count quadrupled as they diluted. That's a really, really bad thing, but only if you don't ACT. How can you get from 750 shares to 3000 shares, restoring your piece of the pie? You buy 2,250 shares.

That will cost you $281 dollars. So here is the decision facing you... do you abandon your $37,500 investment and accept the crumbs dilution will leave you with, or do you defend your investment and throw another 300 bucks at it "just in case" they find oil?

$300 isn't a lot to defend a $37,500 investment. It has been coined "dilution insurance" buy some, and mocked as "delusion insurance" by others. I tend to lean toward the former on this... it's such a tiny amount of money given the original price most paid, why not? If they do hit oil the "delusion insurance" label is going to look pretty short sighted and down right stupid.

That little piece of "information" could be transformational in your outcome from all of this, and the CEO didn't have to, nor was he required to, explain it to you.

There are dozens of other pieces of information that can and will affect each persons outcome depending on what they do with them.

Investing is extremely interactive and requires continuous effort and does not come with an instruction manual. It's *your* money, why empower, or in this case demand, that ANY CEO to tell you what you should do with it?

Was this another 180? Or maybe it was a dizzying 720?
