Decided to reread this thread just because. Looks like the OP's $34k investment is worth about $5k right now.

Summary
Company is preparing to emerge from bankruptcy after receiving court confirmations.
Existing shareholders will be diluted by 99.98% with their participation in the calculated new equity value of $1.83 billion being a measly $300,000.
1:9,200 reverse split to be executed after the close of trading on September 21, reducing outstanding shares to just 8,976.
Shareholders owning less than 9,200 shares will be wiped out in exchange for a few cents in total cash consideration.
Even at current share prices, equityholders are still going to suffer outsized losses on a percentage basis.

And I'm not Monday morning qb-ing you. Monday morning qb-ing would be me bringing this up 2 years from now and saying you suck... You are 20% in on your play and I'm suggesting you think a bit more critically about your set up if your play is really a run up on oil is all. questioning strategy early on in a play is critical thinking not hindsight taunting.

You're playing with fire on this one IMO... I wouldn't touch a Greek company with a 10ft pole. Personally, I'd be surprised if we see $100/bbl oil before 2018. Most signs point to it has 'rebounded' and $58-$65 seems to be a sweet spot and still profitable number for the big boys.
