Point taken, and I think you are correct in that statement. I think for those paying attention, the legitimacy of this company is not at issue. When the financials were put out in June, it showed a fast growing company that at the time was fairly valued in the 30 cent range assuming the aggressive growth continued. Unfortunately there's been no confirmation since then that the growth has continued. No financials. No additional oil fields. No documented ramp up in production.
At this point in the company's life, folks want visibility into the fundamentals and see a clear path for near term growth. Hiring D&T is a step towards getting there, but it's not enough to overcome the PR's that talked about impending deals, none of which seem to have been finalized.
I have a lot of faith this company will do well long term. The short term prospects are still very hazy.
