    Forbar = a lame horse which keeps coming last.

    A diehard Nogger Like McDouall Stuart calling it quits - very telling. One thinks they finally woke up to the fact that this is a stock in terminal decline.

    I have to conceed its possible to trade almost any share and with enough skill, luck and timing you can make money but NZO were $1.75 this time last year, they had a huge influx of capital in 2009 with option excercise at $1.50 and Noggers with short memories might be interested to know NZO were $1.40 in 1982. (That last figure should make for a grim reality check for any recently converted NOG enthusiast).

    I am not a Nogger yet, but I think I could be soon.
    NZO will bounce back up to there 1982 prices in no time.
    Or will they just keep going down now.

    Dont forget we have big buyers eg acc-not waiting but actually buying . Also the buy-back has started again and the price of oil is going up . More upside than downside I would say .
