nothing has changed, page-17

I won't name the director I was speaking to after the meeting but I aired my all too often complaint "how come the researchers within a brokerage can come out with a suggested share price only for the trading arm to totally ignore it" or words to the effect. The reply I got was "if I had money to invest and knew a major drilling programme was to take place in several months why would I tie my money up in the interim when there's little likelihood of events to influence the share price?"
I know there are answers to that response but why have I been sitting on so many shares for so long? I guess it's called conservative investing for the long term OR some other excuse along those lines
