It was approaching 10am and a feeling of expectation was building. I could see the yellow dot against HGO on the Commsec Website but couldn't access the announcement just yet. Now 10.05am and the HGO Buy/Sell ratio was incredible - 21m/4m. The SP price opened up a cent and then 2. The sellers dried up and I dared to look at the announcement. "We're drilling" was all it said. I could hear the drills and checked the time - 7am. As I wandered to the front of my house to observe the Council digging up the road, I felt an air of disappointment mixed with some optimism.
