In all seriousness what are the chances a major might come along and offer...say......$2 a share as a takeover at some point in the future? Thereby skipping any drawn out share price appreciation. Is this within the realms of possibility ? I'm guessing if we got to 50c first on speculation and then actually sunk some wells that yielded good results we'd get offered a lot more ?
