RE:Bte report...I am no fan either for 2 reasons. I think the timing is terrible ESPECIALLY since they did the samething the last time around and almost led the company into insolvency. Add to the fact the fact that they had preched a "cash discipline" philosophy, this deal is the complete opposite. A smaller acquisition I could understand, but they are betting the house AGAIN that oil will rise and that an economic downturn would be a minor affair.
