could nexus be a potential takeover target?

Hi to all,
I would like to disclose that I hold stock in Nexus.

Am I the only one who has noticed somewhat “unusual” trading activities in the stock over the course of the last 2 weeks (start of April 2013)?
Has anyone paid any attention to a stock chart over a period of the last 12 months?
Last years selloff that took place around mid year (2012) has established 52-week low at around $0.10 (from the 52-week highs of around $0.22). Since mid last year there have been couple of major announcements: 1. Crux AC/L9 – Completion of Consolidation Agreements (23/10/2012) and 2. Nexus Exercises Crux Put Option for $75 million (19/12/2012), since then
price has bounced around in the range of $0.135 - $0.19 to the end of March 2013.
This years current selloff (across the whole sector) over the course of the last 2 weeks (start of April 2013) has seen the price hit a low of $0.13 and bounced back to around $0.155 and now settled around $0.14.
Nexus has confirmed in the last market update, announced on the 4 April 2013:
“In relation to the Crux divestment process, the issuance of the Retention Lease (issued on 20 February 2013) has generated additional interest from new potential counterparties. Nexus remains engaged with a range of high quality parties”.
Is it possible that Crux divestment process has generated more interest then initially anticipated? And now Nexus viewed by some of the parties as a potential takeover target?
The immediate suitors for Nexus or its assets would be Shell or Osaka Gas.
However, there may be others?
We are all aware of what Russian/Ukrainian connection did to a share price of Linc Energy Limited (LNC) (Please refer to the chart LNC).

It is a known fact that a mega wealth has been produced out of Russia over a period of last 2 decades and billionaires this days are almost “growing on trees” in that part of the world.
It is also a fact that due to political uncertainties in Russia under Putin’s regime a growing number of Russian billionaires are not very comfortable keeping their billions in Russia.
It is also a known fact that over a period of a last decade huge amounts of money have been making their way out of Russia into more politically stable countries all over the world, where Russians have aggressively snapped up assets of various classes such as real estate and equities. With recent events in Cyprus, where it was confirmed as a matter of fact, that vast majority of the depositors were Russians, surely, many of these depositors (to put it lightly) are very displeased with the outcome and are seeking more economically and politically stable alternatives where to park their billions and Australia is a perfect destination.

The above-mentioned facts only add more fuel into the fire, so to speak.

Globally, huge amounts of money have been sitting on the sidelines for some time waiting for correction, these investors/traders are now exhausted of waiting and plunging their money into equities simply out of fear of missing out on the rally. The megatrend that has been predicted by so many is now evolving as we speak, yes, we are in a midst of it and Australia is one of the beneficiaries.
Is it possible that major investor/s about to join the stock register of Nexus Energy Limited?

Did the shareholders/traders of Linc Energy Limited (LNC) had any idea that the stock they were holding late last year (2012) when it was changing hands at around $0.45 would shoot up to $3.00 within a couple of months? (Please refer to the chart of LNC).

What about Sirius Resources NL (SIR), did the shareholders/traders of that company have any idea that stock they were holding early this year changing hands at around $0.05 would shoot up to $5.00 in the matter of weeks? (Please refer to the chart of SIR).

Do any of us have any idea where the share price of Nexus will be in 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years from now?

Stay tuned…

I welcome everyone’s thoughts and opinions on this subject.

Regards and happy trading to all.

From Russia With Love
