I had another idea. Since you have directorships on 1,000 companies(self proclaimed), you could launch 1,000 buyout offers. Then you can play off each other with each company upping the bid. At the same time, Alan can announce an additional share buyback program! Maybe you could even announce that you "intend" to move a drill rig onto one of your properties. If that might be a little too forward, I suppose that we could settle for a few grab samples.
