RE:what might happen....I understand the concept of the pure play premium vs the conglomerate discount. However, I am leery of investment bankers pushing for costly corporate activity which does not provide economic value. Having the diversification in addition to quality is reassuring for the moment and I don't see the hurry to cash out. Strategic partners can bring deep pockets but retaining a maximal economic interest and remaining the operator on each project allows for the company to participate maximally in the value creation. Outside of such JVs, which would make sense, what is the benefit of spinning out assets other than to create pureplays to serve as more bite-sized trading sardines? And then one may wonder about the administrative synergies lost. And what of the other exploration assets? Maybe if it remains a convoluted mess it will go to 30 cents in 2017 and if you've got a few quarters left you can pick up more shares in the aftermath the great economic collapse.
