They sell trading shares and buy restricted shares with warrants at cheaper prices increasing their ownership and increasing their cash positions at the same time and then they do it again as the shares become tradable...a neat trick and an advantage of being on the inside. So I have seen NET buying in SIR while I have seen selling of trading shares and I take this as positive. Yes I believe they will merge them although I do not know. I believe this because the only reason they were split was to keep the share number on Epic low in the first place and to create a tightly held vehicle in SIR possibly to prevent a takeover of the play. If they contemplate a deal with a major then it is much easier with one company than with two. If this next well is a bust all bets are off and we can all give up imho but if it is a hit I think we will see them put the companies together and try to to a deal with a major because these fields cost too much to develop for such a tiny company. Remember these are still just speculations on my part but they seem reasonable to me. If you see it differently please let us know.
