Bang on about reading. My tip for young players. Make an excel spreadsheet to correllate all data to allow you to compare companies (company goals, current drilling, historic drilling as well as all the basic financial data). Once you do this the facts are staring right at you and are quickly accessible if needed.
Allows you to assess the risk through pure facts and numbers.
N27 has made its way into my spreadsheet and in comparison it is looking quite healthy imo.
