TopShelf: You have a real dilemma to figure out. In your reply you have made your choice regarding holding or selling your position.

I can not understand why the shareholders are now thinking about the future before the present is revealed. We waited years to get the drilling started, no sooner we start drilling some are thinking about selling before results. This does not make much sense to me. Why are some in such a rush to get rid of their shares before results, very perplexing. Why not wait till our company makes the next move and the details related to it. All we have is the beginning of a new venture while the original reason we all bought shares was for the oil and gas in the JDZ and the EEZ. Many shareholders have been here for many years with the dream that we will have billions of barrels of oil in our Blocks and what I hear is defeat sentiment. It is no surprise that this is happening because it is easier to persuade one to look at the downside instead of the upside. Sure we had many problems, but ERHE did beat them all down and came up smelling like a Rose.

I have full faith in what is in the ocean under our blocks and as I said on many occasions I intend to wait for these results.

Good Luck to all whatever you decide.
