B alance I can see the "association" as probable or possible but not definite. There are other factors that could be fooling round wih our SP such as the oil companies and possible influence on the US government. We don't know. A lot of people posted that owning ERHC is a lot like the movie Syriana. I guess it comes with the territory, that is until we have proven reserves. Then ERHC can be in the catbird seat again. Personally, I do appreciate all your posts. This is a real possibility that ought to at least be discussed.
