Other possabilities

I have been watching the trading on STX and some of the larger than normal volumes traded in recent weeks . A predator could have easily acquired just under 5 % ( 110 mill shares ) possibly even 2 predators or added to stock they may have already been holding . I am guessing Regal may have participated also in the STX most recent cap rise . The possibility that Handcock and Min may already have 4.9 % of STX i feel good be real . As with recent strategies , it would be possible that direct approaches to some of STX top 20 to sell direct , giving a 15% to 20% of stock if the price is right to one of those two . I would consider this to be a real option . I am still of a firm view other groups , Woodside , Santos , Mitsui , Chevron , BP are all looking , and one or a couple of these will enter the race for gas in the Perth Basin .
