danger of take-over

I've been in HDR since 2000 when it was 0.11c. Just started with 10000 shares. Since then has been trading.
(selling and buying) with profits of 0.10c to 0.20c along the way. With the profits(money) has been accumulating and within these years(2003/2004) managed to make it to 70000 shares . By putting another $10000 along the way towards shares.

My main worry is that the shares are at present $1.60.
If by end of next year i am sure it will go up again to the most 2.30 TO $3.00 with oil production and then to sell off the shares.

But if it goes down to $1.20 as some are predicting, then the real danger is the TAKE OVER BY THE BIG
GUYS. Some of my close friends in this field are warning me. Then have no choice have to dispose off at the price of offered at that time. Maybe #1.40--$1.50
the most. Don't have the chance for the year 2005/2006 for the shares to go up to $3.00

What are your true opinions (not bulldust to ram up or down). please.

thanking you
