Good news for all you ROL.A fans:


Rolling Thunder announces test results of Peace River Arch well

CALGARY, Apr 20, 2006 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) --

Rolling Thunder Exploration Ltd. ("Rolling Thunder" or the "Corporation") (TSX-V: ROL.A, ROL.B; OTC Pink Sheets: RTHXF) advises that the Corporation has recently tested a light oil zone in one of its 100% working interest Peace River Arch wells. The well was flowed through a 12.7mm choke for a period of 23 hours and 30 minutes at an average flowing pressure of 3726 Kpa. Through the duration of the test, the flowing tubing pressure declined from 3995 Kpa to 3528 Kpa while the casing pressure increased from 2400 Kpa to 3779 Kpa. Cumulative production for the 23.5 hours of flow was 237.6 m3 (1,494 bbls) of 38.4 degrees API oil, 24.8 E3M3 (875 mcf) of gas and 3.16m3 (19.8 bbls) of water. The duration of the test was limited due to the capacity to handle produced fluids during breakup conditions. Efforts are underway to tie the well in and therefore allow further testing and evaluation after break-up. Due to the limited duration of the test, a forecast of the on-stream productivity cannot be made at present.

nice~!! i was THIS close to selling Rol.a today for some CDB shares

[roopi]

GOOG - up to $447 afterhours now. The results were good.

Anyone play any options on this one?

[Si_FlyGuy]

For some reason, I think that the timing of the NR is wrong and that the stock won't jump up tomorrow. That's just my head talking though, my crystal ball's busy looking at pr0n.

[Cherrypicker]

you guys keep talking about rol

so did a bit of research

from what I read here this is definately a long term.

[Rav4Guy]

[Z_Fan]

$1.25. it was at 1.44.

[Z_Fan]

Either way, I couldn't have got back in. All my money is tied up, and I am not willing to take it out at a loss or not enough gain.

I did make some $$$ off ROL.A, just not nearly enough.

[Rav4Guy]

you made money.. that is what matter in the end.... people can't get in low and sell high 99.9% of the time.

What does it matter to you? The more blind speculators you have, the more volume trades. More volume means more volatility. And when a stock is going up, more volatility means that it will push even higher than it should normally.

You should be happy that there are investors that buy stock based solely on a tip from someone else.

[Z_Fan]

^ Yeah. I learned something here with ROL.A, so that's a good thing. Bottom line, I'm ahead of the game for having bought it. So, I'm good - just shy about $1600 of what I should have made! Which, well, is a lot of cash.
