watershed moment 

If ever this is used in an official market announcement by AVZ management then this is the best sell signal the market will ever give you. You could not possibly hit the sell button quick enough, I kid you not, sell and buy back at about half the price. If you see "in a matter of days" in the same sentence, then you'll want to smash that sell button harder than I was when I first saw Samantha fox as a teenage boy.
It is indeed a 'watershed moment', albeit not a positive one.
“The receipt of the Ministerial Decree to award the
Mining Licence is leading to a watershed moment for AVZ and our partners, with the official award of

Watership Down 

A truly epic (used in the actual sense, not the modern sense) book by Richard Adams about of a group of semi-anthropomorphic rabbits who make their way across the English countryside in search of a new home. Though built on a simple concept, it is a grand tale of adventure, full of dynamic characters, intense action, suspense, mythology and mystery.

And it's not just a kid's book. Read it, you'll fall in love with the story of Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig, Blackberry, Dandelion, and El-ahrairah.
(At library)
Jerky teenage boy: This place blows, lets go!
Librarian: Here, read this book, it's about rabbits.

Boy: Holy shit, that book is f**king amazing!

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
