Movieguy, in my opinion, RA's assumption that RDS is about to resurface is likely correct! They may not submit a public bid for the company, but may well be partners to the Gulf Project. Relax!
Petro, I totally agree that Shell is in the mix for various deals, and I welcome that development. What RA has been strongly suggesting for a year or so is that Shell is about to make a play to buy all of Interoil, and he has continued to be wrong. I think on this topic his analysis is in error, so I am suggesting he stop continuing to put forth this idea, as it is "optimistically inflammatory." I, and many others on this board, would be thrilled at a takeover attempt by Shell as it would quickly leap the pps higher, and probably eventually lead to a dramatically higher pps as I expect a bidding war would occur. So I feel his articles improperly get our hopes up, and also damages his reputation, and therefore I am suggesting he stop.
I am relaxed on this Shell matter, though still very anxious (yet very fatigued) for an Exxon deal.
