RE:What Are The Chances...A leveraged buyout is definitely possible. Management could take it private at a 50% - 100% premium to the current price. Finance it using cash on hand and a bank loan. Stay focused on high return shallow drilling for a couple of years. Use the cash flow from Cheal to payoff the loan in 2- 3 years while still funding some high return projects. The numbers say it's definitely possible for management to buyout shareholders and own the company outright using it's own cash flow. In fact, TAO is an ideal candidate for an LBO.
