$HLX
Who wants to talk about this merger thing?
I've been a shareholder with HLX for over 20 years. Made some pretty good money here. But the stock is almost put me in a coma three or four times also. 
I guess it's the nature of the beast in this industry where timing is everything.
The deal is a little weird but I do see potential, and with HOS being a a wildcard because of management's past history.
I'll probably ride it through with some shares. But I have been selling a little bit around
$10.50.
I read the Baird marine article, so now I can understand the split, and the
$12 .50 value.  They pan the Hornbeck crew hard.
So it's boost on paper, and I may sell a few shares at that price if it gets there.
But with the synergies they derive from using their own vessels instead of leasing, this thing could pay off down the road and be a pretty good winner.
It's all about execution, getting deals, etc., etc. They will be a bigger co. But they must be a good company.
