Sao Tome Ready To Sign Awards, Energy Compass Says

Energy Compass, which sells its stories for $24 each, says in a 141-word story dated yesterday, May 20, that Sao Tome is now ready to sign the JDA awards after months of delay. Energy Compass published the same article late last week at the same price, so I think they are selling the same information twice, under different headlines.

There is no indication in the report that the authors knew anything about the outcome of the meeting between Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo and Sao Tome and Principe's leader, President Fradique de Menezes.

The article is available at the Energy Compass site (http://www.energyintel.com/) after searching for "erhc."

However, the information is identical to that which was published earlier in the week. It was just redated. The original article is available at Raging Buill, Investor's Hub and elsewhere. It was purchased by stockhocker70 and provided to ERHCC On The Move as well.

Energy Compass is not always accurate or even near the mark, but it's usually not deceitful, either. They had some original material in two articles ago, including a useful quote from energy officials in Sao Tome. However, this iteration is a wasted $24, because the article has been posted many times since Thursday and its contents do not reflect any current information.

That article is dated May 20th. So IMHO it is meaningless. If it had been dated today that might be a different story.

Obasanjo went to STP. Problem solved.

Nice try. Well actually, pathetic try. Looks like that, even for the bashers it's slow going right now. You folks need to freshen the script, the current one is becoming quite stale and transparent. To tell the truth, it's always been transparent.

I know, I know, it's a dirty job and someone's got to do it. But what was it that Cool Hand Luke said? Oh yeah:

"Just because it's a job, don't make it right."

It looks to me like they've sold the same information twice. Nonetherless, many thanks to Jake, who posted it on Raging Bull. It was already posted here in Thursday's identical version, I'm sorry to say. Sigh... Back to the drawing board.
