"...my points above are correct unless I can be shown otherwise". Dear oh dear oh dear.

Ahh yes, the old "manipulation" theory. The great grassy knoll of the junior trader; if my price forecasts prove to be ludicrous it's not because I don't know anything, it's because the price is being manipulated by the baddies.

Yawn.

If you'd been sensible enough to crawl back into your hole for a little while and lick your wounds, Wilson, together with all your fellow beginners who gave your post such a resounding positive score, I wouldn't have bothered replying. But now comes the final desperate excuse; price manipulation by the bad guys. Sigh.

Let me sort out a couple of things while I'm here, since I certainly won't be bothering to reply to you again.

1. I don't know how far back you desperately searched through my posts looking for something to incriminate me with, and I certainly won't be doing the same thing to rebut any of your points. Put simply, I have held DLS for several years, never to the point of a massive holding, but enough to confirm a sale of 1.2m shares at 10c when the great management dogfight started and ran the company off the rails.

2. If you check the disclosure below you'll see I still hold, a rather small holding it's true of 300,000, and I also maintain a hold sentiment, because there is no doubt that there is oil in the area. Like many with the benefit of 20/20 vision I wish I had taken advantage of the recent p&d, but I didn't, preferring to hope there would be oil in Marino. There is; about enough to fill my car.

3. I am retired and my DLS is a small spec play which will have no effect on my life either way. I have no idea why you think I would be downramping it. I have made no buys or sells in it since the sale I described above.

4. You can take this advice any way you want to take it. Forecasting prices, especially in a spec play, is a fool's game. You might get the odd one right, you may not. Either way it's best to remember an old saying: It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

I will now leave you to your conspiracy theories. Don't bother shooting the messenger, think about the message.
