Ann: Hickory-1 Well To Proceed to Flow Testing, page-175

Doc I appreciate your long response, although most of it is ‘off topic’ as they say.

I didn’t make any assumptions regarding your investment strategy, just going by what you have been posting here, in a nutshell, your strategy was to buy low pre drill and sell high sometime prior to reaching TD, that didn’t go exactly to your plan, well at least the part about selling high. Regardless of the reasons, your plan didn’t work and the strategy was unsuccessful.

You state that you are a sophisticated investor, well connected and knowledgeable in the O&G industry, and in constant contact with directors, also admit of knowing 88e having many issues but still according to your own posts poured close to a million dollars into 88e and caught/ forced holding till next drilling season. I agree with you that 88e has a bunch of over paid incompetent bunch of directors but my dear Doc, you have no one else to blame for predicament but yourself, just as you would’ve busked in the glory of making mega profit and taken all the credit yourself had the sp followed previous years cycles.

Also, if you post on a public forum, and expect people to take your posts seriously, and give them the weight they deserve because you are a successful, seasoned, sophisticated, knowledgeable and well connected investor, you should also expect people to respectfully question your posts and point out inconsistencies of your arguments and views.
