have to agree with Scot at least his opinion that issuing more shares retains control,however I would offer that Connacher's value should and will be advanced by an increase in production that has not been factored in,further extraplolation should see price of Connacher escallating along with bbl pricing,with the ong term production of 50000/bbl being the target price,this is still a viable investment,management still has my vote and I suspect the majority of shareholders are of the same persuasion??
