Yes, one must consider the share prices Ray. And, when you do you'll find that HTP provides, per my calculations, about 25% more leverage than does KOB.

WRT the "other matters", I believe (but have not confirmed) that HTP after it's recent financings, has slightly more $/share on hand than KOB will have after its rights offering. I also believe (but haven't verified) that HTP has a greater cash flow/share from its other other assets than does KOB from its. And, HTP has an interest in the three adjacent San Joaquin exploration prospects with Berkley, Paramount, et al whereas KOB does not. The first well on that JV will spud within about 1 week, BTW.

I did not attempt to "quantify" these factors because HTP was my "best leveraged choice" when looking at ELH on a standalone basis. The above considerations only help to tilt the scales a little further. JMHO.

Have a pleasant day.

Later,
grayhairs

Ray, There is another way to look at this. That is a risk minimization risk. I look at Westminster as a very leveraged play with minimal downside. I agree it is not the most leveraged - but once one is in in a leveraged way - WML presents a way to add to one's position with a real company behind the current share price.
