As an investor or M&A Spread investor the two risks you might be facing are the deal won't go through (it is VERY unlikely that BNK or Geo walks away). The second risk is that the price of oil changes SIGNIFICANTLY in a way that changes the value of BNK assets (I assume this would be the case if oil trades below $20). This being said, the management team has done it's due diligence (over few months) and thinks this is the most valuable offer. I wish we all vote in favor of the deal (and I am not related to BNK management, am just a shareholder)

So if you have a crystal ball and it works then just avoid those names and stick with good balance sheets if you want to play the oil turnaround. Raging River and Canecol and even Africa Oil looks to be a good if and when. I'm in no hurry.

I indeed was about to buy it when it was around 70 cents (when one major bank loaded it up)... first thing I did is checked the debt ratio...I cannot invest in a firm (i.e. stock) that has has relatively large debt (I have a threshold). I believe at this stage and under these circumstances, BNK will provide the best and safest return (given oil volatility, I do not see a stock that almost ...more
