RE:Where are those competing Bids?Miran - If looking for a quick profit of a few bucks by Jan 8 2016 as per your post, it maybe shaky... I agreed with gvfsdgbfsdgbfsa (what a user name !) that COS will probably be bought within coming 6 months, but I think it mayn't far later than Jan 8 2016...If you want quick bucks ie expecting to get the profit in Jan 2016, I don't think it will be that quick because : (a) If Seymour/SU deal materialises, the warrants profit won't kick in not until oil price rises substantially within 2 years (which I think assume a year from now); (b) I suspect the "final" story may surprise many of us.... Just a gut feeling (no facts nor rumour) that Seymour Gang will end up still not satisfied with SU's little improved option (and SU doesn't get the 2/3 votes) The 1st buyout suitor came out in Jan may not have the full terms sorted out by Jan 8 (ie needs further negotiation beyond Jan 8) and my guess is the whole bids/negotiation ends up 4+ months before the takeover txn is completed..
