    no mention if the proceeds will be used to hire lawyers to fend off the Dewey, Cheatum & Howe firms that are threatening lawsuits everyday?

    the company did disclose in their 10Q's that operational cash flow was negative, it shouldn't be a surprise the shares are down and that they needed cash.

    So I don't know if you can say "this person has a bad track record", or if there was other circumstances surrounding the backruptcy of Moose, i.e. the 2001 terrorist attacks and resulting recession.

    HUSA has mentioned the oil fields they are involved in have capability / possibility of high production, but can you believe it? plus the uncertainty of drilling for oil / starting a new well...

    They did manage to raise addition capital approx 9 million, so there must be people who believe them...
