RE:Assuming deal passes without a speed bump....Well, management has indicated that PTA is on the block. While it would be contrary to the rationale for the Suroco deal, one should not discount the possibility that a combined Petroamerica could be very attractive to Vetra. There was always a question of how the two could work together after the hosilities. Then again, money has a way of buying plenty of forgiveness. Must say that this whole 'patience' thing is overrated though. Really dislike having to wait until after market close today for the news.
