RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Earnings out If i remember right i think IPL management see $24 as current IPL valuation. Any mis-pricing of IPL in a IPL-PPL merger deal is ok for me as it will be captured by holding PPL shares. I too favor IPL to proceed as per original plan as the finish line is in sight. Why make compromise while we're so close to victory.

Wouldn't take much to beat the BIP offer. Maybe $20-22 per share. I'm certain IPL shareholders would prefer being part of a bigger PPL than losing the compnay to the lousy cash bid by BIP.
My preference would be for IPL to stand pat. I see no reason why it can't, but if it has to go I would be happy to consider more PPL exposure at your suggested price range.
