"I know the float is somewhat large but the approval of this merger should certainly help our cause."

Agreed.

Also, re: large float... The float is somewhat important but who owns these shares is much more important... SGX Share Structure... just to name a few... Kinross Gold (8.6%); Firebird Republics Fund Ltd. (2.8%); Anglo Pacific Group Plc. (2.8%); Guy Charette (1.7%); Nigel Lees (1.7%); Gary Robertson (0.6%)... that's more than 18% of SGX shares (even more on a fully-diluted basis) owned by just a few insiders, a couple of funds, and Kinross... I know for a fact there are many other funds that hold some relatively significant positions in SGX. Again, it's not the size of the float it's who owns the shares that is important.
