why has the thread gone quiet, page-17

Family always more important than shares in a company. There will always be more opportunities if you're willing to put in the work to find them, and probably better than here.

Can't see much happening in the short term anyway, the initial MRE will probably be quite modest and is likely just being put out so management can get their mountain of free performance shares. Unfortunately this is just one of those instances where the step out drilling hasn't really matched up to the hype. Still can be a reasonable long term proposition going forward, but I don't see a catalyst for any massive short term SP rise. Good luck getting your wife and child safe.
