Depending when they bought, the share price has had its ups and downs
The oil issue is not new, but I still firmly believe that the exploration done 6-9 months before the FI invasion was more than coincidental. The rig found substantial reserves when drilling (with Argentine workers on the rig) and then left to work with us in the Bass Strait. After the Pacific crossing we flew to take off the transit crew (including Argentinians) near Eden, NSW, on the very day of the invasion. The silence on the find at the time was more telling than if it had been well publicised.
