And you call yourself a newbie...lol..perfect post Pip ! ---------------------- Message In Reply To: If to much sitting around cash a buyout is very possible. I say let the company buy back 2-4 million shares so they can reward the employees with them for a x-mas bonus. Plus, put a restriction on those shares by not allowing them to trade those shares for 1 year. This would stablize the price plus push the price upward and allow them to get more leases and production.
