Think of Treaty like a volcano; one day day it is simmering with just a little wisp of smoke, the next day it's erupting. Only, the day after it erupts you can no longer buy 3 penny stock.
Most of nature is catastophic in one sense or another. Only large scale geology is Huttonian; slow, and imperceptibly moving or building, like a mountain range for instance, or the movement along the San Andreas Fault. You can't see it but you know, over millenia, it is a force to be reckoned with. Volcanos are catastophic; one day they are nascent and the next all hell breaks lose. Consider the citizens of Pompei.
Get your stock, and put it in your back pocket, and wait. It's the best lotto ticket you'll ever buy. Oiljob
