"is still stalled in the $1.50-$2.50 range we have a very serious problem and it aint with the fact they, i.e financial markets throughout the world, don't know about us. It's going to be real interesting to see the SP tomorrow"

I think you'll find the ball is back in NOT's court. They will have to add something to the pot to move the sp, not the gov't budget. As far as investors would be concerned, NOT has to do something very exciting. People are used to the non-momentum and the price being right where it is regardless of what anyone may presently value NOT at. Simply put, there needs to be a new story to get a new sp. No one is buying until something convinces them that it's safe to go back into the water. That's my take.
