Remember the under promise and over deliver statement. Its prudent to think that with deal closing and receipt of the $613 million ,with at least 4 rigs drilling at the same time we have plenty of reasons for a stock price recovery. This reminds me when IOC was $8 it was the perfect time to buy. I have always said it would take a deal closing to make a difference.

Don't get me wrong.  I am a long time IOC investor and certainly hope you are correct.  I would just like to see that recovery while I am young enough to actually enjoy it!  I guess I am tired of getting hammered on "good news"

I think one either believes in the resources, discovered and undiscovered, and the management, or they don't. Also, we have known for years of the "short" element and the volatility it involves. Did anyone really expect it to simply disappear with an announcement, what with the past history?

IOC is a stock that includes great potential for growth and, in perhaps a couple years or so, some great income for the following few decades, perhaps forever. If I knew of a better place to put my capital, I would have done so a long time ago.

But I have faith in the resources and future income, so am staying long and will continue to add even more on dips like this, even though I already have quite a bit on the line already. The probable rewards are simply too great to bail now.

I do wish, though, that those who like to vent and post negative remarks would reconsider. No sense adding fuel to the fire and more fear and doubt. We are each capable of deciding for ourselves whether to buy, sell or hold. Play your cards a little close to your vest and keep the negative emotions off the board, please.

That's some common sense Mr. Kommonsents!  I have only owned this stock for a little while at a cost in the 65 range so I am not ready to throw in the towl!  I do not have faith in the resource but I have faith in the people saying it is huge!  Including Total!  And I have faith in dollars, includine 613 million of them coming our way in a matter of weeks!!
