In the long term (going through the fall of this year) it is an excellent buy because the govt is highly vested in this company. It most likely will not fail. The price of this stock will almost certainly rocket up to a couple of bucks once the conservertership is lifted. When will that be? Who knows. Could be this summer, could be fall, could be longer.
Personally, this is a long for me. I will hold it until... whenever. So if you will want this money to use in the near future for powder on other deals . . . your money could be locked up for a while.
That is my take and of course . . . I am guessing and you always have to do your own DD excetra, excetra,
Bill,
So after studying the MMs what was your take on it?
Bass,
My take on MGLG is very similar. I think we are working more with the human's psyche here and of course based on yesterday's performance the MM's. It depends on how excited everyone will get.
If the well turns out double thumbs up then, this could be blue sky.
If the well turns out null . . or inconclusive (more testing etc) I would think we could see some gradual slow climbing until more news.
If the well turns out bad . . . then we drop like a rock.
Assuming the best and the news is good. Then there will be the usual ratcheting up. Lots of profit taking will be going on. That will slow the charts down. Could be good in the sense of keeping the price stable however. Also if the news is good a big hope would be to attract some institutional buyers. That would be outstanding for us.
Nothing to do until Monday
Good luck everyone
