RE:RE:RE:business leaderI don't believe that the share count argument is the main reason, why no buyout has been attempted. Most energy producers are all strengthen their balance sheets . Or returning value back to their shareholders . The lean years are still very fresh in the minds, of management teams. Does anybody on this board want to see ATH, borrow a bunch of money to expand operations? Look at the flak BTE recieved for expanding their business. Keep in mind also, expanding is what companies like BTE are supposed to do. Suncor is in a mess with their shareholders. CVE just took.over Husky. Meg is trying to.pay down debt. CNRL is returning capital. ATH is to small.for them to takeover, maybe. And Imperial will always make sure they stay with imperlism.
