The other side of the coin is, of course, that 50 odd million shares have been BOUGHT over the last few days. And most realise that whilst the 2 discoveries are highly significant, a lot of work and a lot of money will need to be expended to realise the potential of this probable new oil province.

Check out the daily trading in other current high profile stocks such as FMG or AGO and get worried about them too. And your attempt not to make me laugh failed old chum.
