All we have here - the entire reason for the sell off - IMO - is that the timing of the operations didn't meet the appetite of the short term trader.
Thats it.
Reasons for the time delay - the fingers pointed etc at who and why - it doesn't matter and it's irelevant.
What matters is the game has just been delayed a few weeks - thats all.
This isn't a disaster - This isn't a duster.
This ISN'T MEO.
Look at MEO - they released a duster - an actual announcement saying "NO RESOURCE HERE" - and they suffered the same % loss as we did with the "We're behind shedule - got some rather piddly flow rates too before we go so here you have it" and boom - we have the SAME % sell off as MEO.
MEO then went on to do ANOTHER duster - 2 weeks consecutively - and again - the same % loss.
Now ask yourself this question:
If we don't have a duster - should we have lost as much % of the SP as we have?
I'm sure you realize that when A doesn't equal B - and B is where the price IS and A is where it should be - doesn't take a Wall Steet Super Kid to realize this is an over reaction.
NWE is Oil and Gas - it moves on actual finds and drops on dusters - we've had neither - yet we swallowed a pill that should have come with a duster.
We all know that the frac section they sampled with this announcement was the lowest on the totem poll of possibly gas - why they fracced etc - again - beyond the point of this discussion.
What happened last week was tantamount to a punter tearing up their Melbourne Cup stubs just because their horse got moved a gate - the reaction of some you'd have assumed the Punter tore up their stubbs before the race has even been held.
So if you're plan is to hold this for 3 days to make a quick 10% before you move on to follow the next "it" stock on HC - I hate to break the news to you - but NWE aint the stock for you.
