Warning :- The following statements may contain some rampant speculation and be based solely on the fevered imaginations from the brain of a desert dwelling recluse. Soooooooo, anyone care to take a guess at how much a property with 52 millions barrels of oil underneath would sell for ? From the Yahoo Finance post atbiz.yahoo.com the phrasing said that at $2 guaranteed minimum in ERHC shares, $670,000 approx of debt was retired after the sale. Of course, if you had a dollar, you too could pay off your 5 cent loan. Coconimo bought the property for 185,000 shares which a year ago were worth more than $0.73. More towards several dollars ? The Yahoo chart I saw doesn't go back past May this year ($4 in May ?), but says that the 12 month high was over $8. Just to break even CSMA would have to sell the property for around 1,000,000 ERHC shares. The $8 approx projected income per EHRC share adds nicely to CSMA's earnings, even at these small levels. Would it be reasonable to assume that a $250,000,000 property would sell for more than a couple of mill ? What does seem strange is the statement from the company that they will still incur a loss for the fiscal year, but with a strong last quarter. If the property to EHRC sold for an outrageous amount, surely it would tip the balance of CSMA's earnings into the black for the entire year ? I'm just exploring the possibilities here. I know that Franco is more excited than a horny Pekingese in a mop factory, but the more I look into this one, the more I like what I'm finding too. Just can't wait for the next couple of weeks to pass. This should get very interesting indeed. Regards, Durro
