RE: MantraWe all know that Soros has put a lot of money and time which if had put somewhere else would of made much more money.I believe this deal had been engineered and approved by soros and other funds as they want to get out of iraq and tzke control. Obviously not having much more tije politics was not in their favor anymore.Fund managers and Soros will start accumukating in the open market as they have set the top price and take control of the shareholding and the company. Future prospects have already been short listed probably and will put the rest of the cash in it which is garanteed to brung some of the lost investment back.In the new venture the rest of the money will be put in addition to issuing new shares tha will t be bought by Soros and the other funds but at least in a guaranteed invest,ent they have control over.a Ahmed said and his management will be kicked out as soon as this deal is done and new management will be put in place. This was mentioned in the announcement that they wikk have new people on board.--This is the kind of scenario that perhaps has put some life back into the stock end of yesterday and it was funds buying.If that happens I am staying long although my average is 19 cents. Getting 10 cents and having a future good prosoect I think is worth it.
