David: When Profco started driiling the first well in Nigeria, the stock was trading in the $1.50 range. Since that time, they have a proven oil discovery in Nigeria, and the stock is trading below that price. There is no doubt that there are many disappointed, shocked, and other words that should not be put in print, Profco shareholders out there today. This is to be expected. All shareholders were expecting great things to happen today, but the opposite occured.
The stock had a Net Asset Value of $3.00 per share before this well was drilled, and therefore, the Net Asset Value should still be the same.
We have to remember that they still have the Nigeria property and are still partners in the Tunisia well being drilled.
As expected, the stock fell today. There was probably a oversale, which is normal. Tomorrow, you could see the stock fall lower, but then, people might realize that Profco is worth more than the current low price, and start buying. |
