gee, i couldn't help myself, page-26

Easy with the scatter gun there rocks86. Sushi made some very questionable calls earlier this year including repeated statements about takeovers and capital raisings, both of which still appear to have absolutely no merit as even hindsight doesn't support them.

Personally I welcome Sushi back and I believe if you go back and see my numerous posts in response to Sushi in the past they have been fair and reasonable in addressing his points. While I didn't agree with a number of the things he said, in particular his repeated statements about a pending takeover, I believe the discussion was reasonable.

My post to which you have responded had nothing to do with Sushis buying or selling activity but rather just brought some balance to the claims in said post re how well he/she predicted SSNs future. While Sushi might point out that he sold out at a higher price there is absolutely no mention of the other predictions which simply never materialised.

Personally I think that anybody who knew that the market was going to collapse this week is infinately smarter than I. This does not however extend to predictions about O&G companies possibly encountering delays in drilling and fracing, spec company share prices falling off a recent peak sometime in the following 6 months etc. Seriously if we can start to proclaim our expertise by stating the bleeding obvious then I have a few very impressive predictions of my own:

a) The sun will come up in the morning
b) At some point the stock market will bounce back
c) The price of oil will go higher in the future
d) SSN will have many more successful wells drilled
e) Some future wells will suffer delays also
f) Somebody will claim credit for predicting the past
g) I will never have enough money

I'm not here to argue but before you whip out your pistol cowboy and start shooting up the place with names like "childish" I reckon its only right to understand the reality of the situation and the context of things that are said. Sushi is entitled to his view and like most here I'm pleased to hear it but as most have memories longer than that of a goldfish, percieved inaccuracies will get a response. That is the nature of healthy discussion.

Nuff said

PS. I meant it when I said don't go Sushi.
