Free Advice Thread - You as IOC Advisor

[Tree]

Many have free advice.  What do you advise?  Why?  Make your case.

Here's my free advice for IOC/IBs:    Take the needed time to strike the best deal that balances max impact on present pps AND max LNG/Condensates revenues in 3-5 yrs. Counter each offer.  Get your preferred partner to pay the most for the stake.  Explain the deal in detail when announced.

My advice is for the shareholders. It could be wise to quit posting your concerns about timelines and other imaginary horribles since shorts lurk here looking for weakness and shares so they can cover.

And then you scream when shorts come out with articles and smears that you specifically provided to them and bellow, see I TOLD you this was happening!!! They are using your own reasons against you. Pretty powerful if you ask me.

So how about this...if you have concerns about timelines and the process and why we haven't heard anything, etc...keep it to yourself. I'm not saying support management 100%, I'm saying stop feeding shorts their arguements.

Shorts are out of ideas, every arguement has been proven false. They are so short there are no shares left to short. Now is the time for silence and starving the shorts.

Stay cool folks, our time is at hand.

I perversely hope IOC goes lower, a lot lower.

I recently rang the cash register on a hugely profitable position and have lots of dry powder. I just don't see it heading to the 50's again. I think $67 might be the low point and I will buy common and calls hand over fist at those prices.

I'll add one more thing.

I've read the question, why don't shorts have their own SHU?

I would argue, why do they need one when they have SHU!

This is a high stakes game we're in kids, if you don't have the stomach for it, sell. No one will blame you. If you choose to stay in, steel yourselves.

[Petrovale]

Nope, don't sell, just trade your portfolio and beat them shorts at their own deadly game!

I really think that you over-estimate the effect that our shares have on the stock price. SHU is great to exchange ideas and information in a respectful manner.

The camaraderie and desire to share by the active parties is commendable. I am proud to be part of this group. However being negative or positive on SHU does not affect the stock price...If it did we would be at 400 right now!!!!

As you all say...keep it on ICCCCCCCCE!
