RE:buyoutI don't know what you have been smoking but I want some. There's no way any company is even going to consider making a bid without the currnt issue put away. At best, there will be many eyes watching the outcome of the dispute. Oil price aside for the moment, not much has changed. That's the bet gentlemen. If you think there's a nationalization you should sell now while the gettin's good. If you think oil has much more to go down, sell. You think there's an equity raise, sell. There's no need to debate anything about these topics , it's either one way of the other, black or white.
