RE:was there some news?I don't think there is any takeover offer on the table, the market is just pricing in the divy. Oil at $45 and possibly going south like just a few days ago, they would probably price the divy at 3% and rising. At oil $50 and headiing north they would be pricing the divy at 2.5% and heading lower. Which is good, it's telling you the market likes Surge Energy when it's divy yield is approaching Whitecaps, a market favourite and better then most blue chips like Suncor and even Peyto and Vermillion, Cardinal and Torc, etc., etc.
