habe aber den ganzen Text noch nicht studiert, nach einem schnellen Überblick habe ich das Gefühl es seien schlechtere Zahlen als auch schon, zudem wird immer noch Geld "verbrannt", das nur über Aktien reinkommt. Wie sehen das die Profis?
Triangle Petroleum Announces Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2009
December 11, 2008: 08:00 AM ET
Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the "Company" or "Triangle") (TSX VENTURE: TPE) (OTCBB: TPLM) today reported financial and operational results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. Unless otherwise noted, all references to "$" are to U.S. dollars. All references to "Cndn$" are to Canadian dollars (Cndn$1.00=US$0.80).
Financial Summary
The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $17.3 million at October 31, 2008 compared to $23.5 million at July 2008. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, cash used for exploration was $2.2 million mainly relating to drilling the first three wells in the second phase of the Windsor Basin project that began late in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, cash used in operating activities was $0.7 million mainly relating to general and administrative expense, and unrealized foreign exchange changes in cash was $2.8 million. Also subsequent to the quarter end, the Company sold a portion of its non-core Fayetteville Shale acreage for $0.3 million.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $16.2 million ($0.28 net loss per diluted share) compared with a net loss of $15.3 million ($0.44 net loss per diluted share) for the same nine month period in fiscal 2008. The net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 includes an $8.0 million oil and gas impairment charge related to the Fayetteville land base ($8.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008), $3.1 million in general and administrative expense ($5.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008) and $2.4 million in foreign exchange losses ($0.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008). Revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 totaled $0.3 million compared with $0.4 million in the same nine month period ending October 31, 2007. The Company sold its interest in two Barnett Shale wells in the second quarter of this fiscal year which resulted in lower production and revenue.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company incurred an $8.0 million oil and gas impairment charge related to its Fayetteville land base, which the Company decided to sell in March 2008 as a result of Triangle's shift in focus from US to Canada. This impairment is due to reduced interest in land sales and reduced gas prices at October 31, 2008 attributable to the slowdown in the economy. Furthermore, the Company incurred a $2.4 million unrealized foreign exchange loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. This loss is due to the Company holding the majority of its cash in Cndn dollars, to fund its Cndn dollar based Maritimes shale projects, and the Cndn dollar weakened during the quarter against the US dollar from US$0.98/Cndn dollar to US$0.83/Cndn dollar.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $12.0 million ($0.18 net loss per diluted share) compared to a net loss of $6.0 million ($0.16 net loss per diluted share) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in the loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was primarily due to the $8.0 million oil and gas property impairment charge related to the Fayetteville land base compared with a $4.6 million oil and gas property impairment charge in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Also, higher unrealized foreign exchange losses of $2.4 million contributed to the increase in the loss. Stock-based compensation expense, a component of general and administrative expenses, decreased $0.8 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $0.1 million compared with $0.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
Triangle recently announced that its common shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on December 5, 2008 under the symbol "TPE". Triangle's shares will continue to trade in the United States on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "TPLM". In connection with its application for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company filed a non-offering prospectus, which is available on SEDAR under the Company's profile.
Mark G. Gustafson, Triangle's Chairman, President and CEO, commented, "We are focusing our financial and human resources on our Maritimes shale gas project in Nova Scotia, our core area of operations. With our current cash position of $17 million, we are determined to move forward with our exploration program. We will continue to search for ways to enhance our financial position through appropriate fundings and continued discussions with potential joint venture partners."
Operations Summary
In July 2008, Triangle started the second stage of the Windsor Block shale gas exploration program to test the gas content and productivity of the Horton Bluff shales in various locations across the Windsor Block, and also to evaluate potential overlying conventional oil and gas reservoirs.
The first vertical exploration well in this program, N-14-A, spud in mid July 2008 and cased in August 2008. N-14-A is located approximately eight kilometers (five miles) north of Triangle's two 2007 vertical test wells. N-14-A was drilled to a depth of 2,600 meters (8,500 feet). Log, core, and lab analysis indicates a potentially gas-bearing Horton Bluff shale and sand interval, approximately 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) thick.
The second vertical exploration well, O-61-C, spud in August 2008, and was cased in October 2008. This well is located approximately 22 kilometers (14 miles) west of from N-14-A, in a separate fault block. Total depth drilled was 2,960 meters (9,700 feet). Logs indicate the presence of over 300 meters (1,000 feet) of shale within the Horton Bluff section as well as several potential tight sand intervals.
Triangle's third vertical exploration well, E-38-A, spud in late October 2008, and was cased in November 2008. The well is located in the Kennetcook area near N-14-A, but in a separate fault block. Total depth drilled was 1,700 meters (5,600 feet), and casing was run to 1,500 meters (4,900 feet). A shale section of approximately 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) is being evaluated for completion.
Completion operations commenced on the N-14-A well at the end of October 2008, with a four-stage perforation and fracture treatment taking place in early December 2008. The completion consisted of a four-stage frac treatment across a 100 meter (330 foot) interval, each stage consisting of approximately 50 tonnes (110,000 pounds) per stage.
Completion operations on the other two wells drilled in this program are being evaluated by the technical teams at Triangle and its partners. Operations will move forward on the basis of that technical evaluation, equipment availability, government approvals, and partner concurrence.

um den Titel gemacht wird, das ich Ihn nicht aus den Augen verlieren möchte. Den Trend des Langfristcharts kann sich ja jeder selber anschauen, bei mir passt er nicht auf den Desktop, weil er nämlich im Fußboden verschwindet.Manchmal muss man auch einfach die Augen aufmachen um zu sehen was passiert.Und sich nicht immer auf sog. Empfehlungen verlassen, sondern mal selber suchen. Hier habe ich leider nichts gefunden. Bodenbildung unbedingt abwarten und dann nochmal warten, bis der Kurs LANGFRISTIG wieder anzieht - meinTip,
oder unten 
drin sind ist auch klar,
