All scenarios are on the table:  examples, NOT buying SPQ; reverse splits; CVRD buying in to McFauld's.  You name it, everything is in play.

I think it's safe to say that the business scene at McFauld's is confusing with more JV's than lawyers.  Every investor, however, is interested in making $$$$$.  I can guarantee you that if a huge strike is discovered at McFauld's, there will be a corresponding huge consolidation, and it will be immaterial as to who is mucking around in the muskeg.

When that scenario happens ($2.50), I will throw my calculator out the window, promise to never to talk about reverse splits again, and drink numerous bottles of red wine with you!
