Does OBI know more than it's saying about a Wordsworth deal in Thibaw? Investors think so!

London Daily Bugle August 2010

The shares of troubled Wordsworth Energy got a boost from an unexpected source yesterday when campaigning NGO OBI launched a blistering attack on it "moral and ethical behaviour".

Giving Wordsworth a "B-" rating, OBI's Jonathan Fong referenced "connections between Wordsworth and the government of Thibaw".

The market interpreted this as meaning that OBI has inside information on a coming deal for development of oil reserves in Thibaw's Block 45, a deal Wordsworth badly needs.

In active trading Wordsworth's shares closed at 279, the highest for several months.
