-sureg- will always do the best it can, and there is no extra trickery
except by imputing missing values.

For clarity, don't think or write in terms of missing observations.
It's values that are missing, not observations. Remember, for Stata an
observation is a complete row, record, or case in other terminology.

I have got some results and these are inline with my expectations. I also have checked for observation where dummy==0 and have found several instances of missing observations.
