These are when some news will come out as regards the IOC bids,and bidders.
The bids are due Feb 28th and I would be surprised if we didn't hear something from IOC as to the number of bidders, maybe the names
and some general comment about size of the bids. Wayne Andrews kept the market abreast at IPAA with such an update.
On March 6th Wayne Andrews will speak at RJ and he needs something to say.Bid talk has to be an item on his talk list.
The IBers asked for more time to properly prepare the bids and they will present March 11th an analysis of the bids. Lots of different ways
the bids can be put together and comparisons aren't simple thus the time demand. Please refer to Doublebagger/Treasure Hunters
comments about the level of DD needed by the IBers .
So we know we have 2 SMers, 1 NOC and 1 Utility as bidders so far. How many more will we get???
I can't see how the shorts can cover without losing lots of money.
