AKITA Drilling Ltd T.AKT.A

Total take over = $4.01

[lifeisgood1010]

Total is paying north of 4.5 million(cdn$) for these Australian rigs.Just as a rule of tumbs,
Akita 35 rigs are worth $4.01.

Most of Akita's rigs are pad triple so probably worth more.

In the stock market we do see these anomaly once in a while.

How long will it take to be ajusted is anybody's guess.

In any event, i am stying long;

Here is the press release of Total acquisition

it does seem like Akita would have been a better deal for Total Energy Services .. Akita had 24 active rigs until it went down to 13 in the last quarter which is expected to be reversed soon and when you visit Akita's website , their rigs are bigger ( more HP) and higher hook ratings .
