it could have been worse

If it wasn't for the fact that we ...

Made a new oil discovery
are producing close to 4000 bopd
sales of about 3 Million each week
have (probably) close to 40 million cash in the bank
highly likely that jv production in a few months close to 15000bopd
increased oil reserves

... we may have actually finished in the red today instead of gaining ZERO to the share price.

Fortunately I am in the position that I don't have to sell so appart from giving a mental equivalent of a shrug its just a matter of sit and wait till the short sellers and bot manipulators have done their dirty business and a bit of sanity returns to the market.

Only regret is that there is no more spare cash to take advantage of the many and various bargains out there.
