Ann: Hickory-1 Well To Proceed to Flow Testing, page-182

Bill, although my intention has been to never directly engage you, but your post too ridiculous to ignore. Your post is either a sily failed attempt at insulting others or an indication of how little you know about investment/trading or both.

What are you going on about putting money towards company coffers. This an oil exploration company not a charity for investors to donate their money to the company. The company raises funds through sell of shares. No one’s here to give their money away, and certainly not you, even if you are as silly as you sound and decided to give away your $500 worths of shares, that’s not going to change much, maybe a nice little buffet breakfast for the management team.

Also as you so love this company, and believe in its fundamentals I wander why don’t you invest a little more than the $500 minimum required purchase (maybe even the $500 worth of shares co-owned with your fellow senior citizens at the nursing home)

The small miserly amount you have invested in 88e shows as much confidence in the success of the company as the level of investment the directors invested in 88e, which is zero.
