You have learnt an invaluable lesson.

There is a possibility they get it right this time BUT there is also a chance they are unlucky again. There is still a risk of tool failure and delays.I struggle to understand why most here invest with reckless optimism. It's just sheer ignorance. Things don't work that way in real life. They crave and encourage "positive" pumpy posts to boost morale as if that has any bearing on the outcome of a drill. I'd rather healthy debate both for and against is encouraged on HC threads. Excercise cautious optmism when trading stocks and you will do well both financially and health-wise in the long run.

As for IVZ, results to date point to a discovery but there's a lot to do still. There's no guarantee the discovery will be called this year. It may well have to be flow tested as a last resort. The outcome of that will confirm two things if they are lucky - a discovery and it's commerciality. I'm hoping they succeed eventually.
