Drilling in March is meaningless if ERHE won't be ERHE... if XOM bought us for $2 in cash we won't benefit from any success. If CVX bought us in all shares the shares we receive will pop a miniscule amount upon any success and we won't benefit.
I have hated this buyout talk from day one because we are the ones that will miss out. It is the only real way I see the commoner getting screwed.
Oily, if you're trying to pump the shareholders, pick another angle. Telling me my "pot of gold" is only going to be a $5 gold coin doesn't make me happy.
