The share price will be partially determined by what we end up with when we complete Mesa. If it is a big producer, oil or gas, I believe it will move the stock up, even with the known downsides that you have mentioned.
IMVHO, it is also true, that at some point in time, the general public is going to start believing, what I already know to be true, that PIP is real. As I have stated many times, I really have been using this tool for a long time, and the many PIP successes I have participated in, have made me wealthy. I would not be participating in these wells, if this were not true. And the dry holes I have drilled are really not all that important to me. I never, even in my wildest dreams, ever expected to be perfect. That is certainly not a realistic expectation. My expectation was to be able to make money with PIP, and I have certainly realized this expectation in Spades. Everybody, and I do mean everybody, in this business do drill lots of dry holes, even Exxon. All of this can be easily documented with a little DD. What I am trying to say is, that it is possible that Mesa may be the spark to start a stock price movement based on this very favorable known reality.
But it is really impossible to predict what will happen to the share price. There are many variables that can affect it, and many are mostly unpredictable. At the present time, I am surprised that it is not higher, so it really is impossible for me to predict it.
