1. We still have a relatively small resource with a burn time of about ten years or so. See the "PS" section of my last post ( http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=67987752 ). Until we move those LomPoy resources from Inferred to M&I or P&P, the market is only giving us credit for 1/20th their value.
2. I thought a few positive quarters would help us stand out, but I was wrong. My next best guess is that a positive trailing EPS will demonstrate our profitability and attract investment. Nothing advertises like profits. I don't think we'll see much movement tho until the EPS gets above 0.10.
3. The buyback is a mystery. If it was just for show, to please the PP holders, then the PP holders have got to be banging them over the head to buy back shares with the pullback in the SP. I have no idea why we haven't seen more shares bought back during this market weakness. Conventional wisdom is that now is the time for a buyback ... I think everyone on this board agrees with that.
4. I wouldn't be surprised about PDI either. That's a carrot they've been dangling in front of us for years.
5. I can't imagine New Orleans will make much of an impact. If it does, great, but again, nothing speaks like profits and technically we still have a negative four-quarter EPS. That will change drastically by the time Q3 is released, to the tune of a double-digit positive EPS (~0.20-0.30?).
I won't encourage anyone to wait for anything. It's a buyer's market out there for anyone willing to take on the risk. I think I'll wait tho.
