the u.s. shale oil boom, page-60

Hi Seach,

You express my sentiments exactly and I too appreciate enormously the time and effort others put in to share research and information with those of us who for one reason or another can't do the same.

Unlike you, I only bought a modest amount of shares initially (200,000 at 3 cents) and sold half to be free carried when they stalled somewhat a few months ago. I then sold other stocks to build to 1 million shares in total for an average of 7 cents. This investment is the most substantial proportion of my portfolio but I view it as the one which if it hits TB's forecast 96 cents in 3 or so years and I sell then, it will totally get me out of debt and heading into semi-retirement around 65/66 years of age. But I'd prefer to sell around 3/4 on the offchance of a spike into $1.20 or so which would do the same thing but leave me with still a substantial holding for future dividends etc in my dotage!

I posted this milestone with my thanks a couple of months ago and everything that has happened since has reinforced my belief in the outstanding progress this company has made, and as you say it will make a lot of difference to a lot of lives - it certainly will to mine.

I remain indebted to my brother (Sticks on this forum) who introduced me to this stock, and who trades it regularly whereas I invest in it with a medium term plan as described above, and as said to all posters who have had a hand in educating me about the value and cautions I should have about my holding in SSN, I equally remain indebted to you.

If I had more to spend I'd still be buying, and my retirement could come quicker!
