First I thought the why was a slow capitulation of shorts then the news of an old buyer and new.  Maybe it is a combination.  Last week a sharp drop that was erased and today down $2 after not trading for 7 minutes at the opening and erased.and a nice gain at the close. This is not the old IOC trading we all know and love.  Maybe not a trend but a nice week of, dare I say, stability after a solid move.  For a guy who was hoping for $75 when the news comes $90 feels pretty good.  I vote for the double spike.

If someone offered $150/share today with the share price at $90/share, I believe more than 50% of the shareholders would accept, especially if it includes Chandler. He is not buying more shares at $90/share in order to make a profit but to have a better chance of being on the winning side when it comes to a vote. Just my opinion.

Pet:

I guess that is my point P.  With more than 70% of the shares held by only 10 major  and comitted shareholders where are you going to get  that 50%?  They;re not getting my shares......and quite a few more of us here that make up the remaining 30% outside that 70%.  You'll find a reall hard road trying to get 50% of the outstanding shares.  Bring $400 and a bottle of 18 yr old McCallan and we can sit down and talk.  Not sure it will amount to much though.....;- )

Well, well Spartina, that sounds like the way to go for me also. Conclude Elk and Ant, then go for the Tri-fecta.
