My posts aren't negative at all, they're realistic - there is a big difference and hence why I maintain it's a LT buy.

You're just confused at the idea of someone (rather accurately I think) discussing a company realistically because it's different from the cheer or boo squad so often found here. It's not a black and white world, it's not all binary. I can (shock - HORROR) talk about downsides on all stocks I own, even the ones I really, really like.

It's called not having your head buried in the sand.

I specifically said in the last day or two now might be a good time to buy given the current negative situation.
You understand how that works right? I don't buy stocks that everyone is in love with and are halfway to the moon. I buy stocks that are good long term and try to pick them up or accumulate when they have a confluence of issues causing buying opportunities. If you buy only when there is good news you're likely to lose your shirt.

I liked Derby before as anyone who's read my posts will know. All that's changed is a failed drill in an area I repeatedly said wasn't worth drilling (and that didn't cost much to fail) and a failed deal that was both unexpected and twice as good as what I'd budgeted for.

The question really is, why *would* my sentiment change?
