Javaman ;As far as a takeover goes , I believe TPAO would have sold out to Trillion much earlier . Why would they wait until the stock price rose . To me its it's only common sense. I think the odds are very low at this point. Now , for a major to come in and take them out I could see that for Trillion is really a very small company. In fact with all this free cashflow that these majors are making you think that they would be spending more money on takeovers . But there again , the majors are smart enough to hold off on any BIG takeovers because of the lofty price off commodities rite now . No , I think they'll wait until we have some sort of correction in the commodity prices and then spend some of the HUGE money they've been banking . One would think that there would be encouragement to develop these assets as qwick as possible therefore also to be taken over by a larger company with deep development pockets . Anyways just a thought.
