Its a very high risk stock that is extremely low and im gambling that in the next few years it will be 10x its value. I know a financial adviser that previously worked at Edward Jones. What should I expect?

I knew you were talking about me. But it still shocked me a bit.

I'll probably try to talk you out of that stock anyway.

What makes you think this will "pop"? It has a really high P/E. Financials don't look horrid.

Opinions vary on the Mississipian Lime Play but Sandridge has made huge investments in developing it. Its a new play and they seem to be the front runners in the development of methods to drill the Kansas portion of it. Seems the company got in some financial trouble making their move to get this started and the CEO has been pushed out because of it. If they stay the course im willing to gamble it pays off.

I dont really know anything about the O&G industry or stocks. Not sure how much production they would have to do to make their stocks rise but the MLP is predicted to last another 20 years in development so im thinking their success would only make the stock go up.

Also Phillips 66 just made a move to run a pipeline through SandRidge's main area so apparently they are buying into the future of the play also

What is "very high risk", and what is "very low"?

This is just my guess. Steady falling stocks, CEO just removed, company has a lot of debt.

around 5 dollars a share. Some projections say it could get to a dollar. Highest its been is 40 I think

The last time it was at 40 was the IPO , since then it's share count has tripled, and it's a business that is extremely competitive and volatile.

It's dog shite IMO, but I've gambled on long shots before, some pay off. Wouldn't put anymore in than I'd put on spin of the Roulette wheel.

Lol. I own quite a bit of sd. Lots of chk as well. Funny thing is sd, has pulled back a bit and I have an order placed for tomorrow morning. Hate there is no div with it, but I'm long on nat gas and think sd will be a major player at some point.

Two other nat gas companies I initiated positions in this month were eroc (nice div) and pgh.

I might sell my position on rexx just cause I'm up over 30%

All the insiders are selling. See Barron's article this week.

And....I'm out. Sandridge may "pop" when NG comes back, but I highly doubt the Miss Lime will be the driving factor.
