K and SWould be smart to buyout WPX. It would force a bigger bid from POT and they would end up with both. The value of the water supply alone in these times puts $ on WPX. I am surprised this is not an offer of $80 mill. to finance rather than an agreement leading to 51%. Are we missing something here? If the idea is to create a bidding war like Vancouver real estate then why risk giving up control for $80 mill. At the price of potash $315 solution mining is a threat to POT and an cheaper option for Rio or Vale hence POT move on K and S. It will be an interesting 2 months to see if this works out. GLTA.
