IOC/XOM playing a long game

Hate to say it but it's hard to believe anybody has much credibility left anymore. I can only imagine what would be being said if PM were still CEO. Sounds to me like the deal has gotten screwed up somehow with the only person capable of closing it being O'Neill.

One planted Blair Price story makes you feel that way?

Nah. Been hangin for quite some time.  I also value my shares, more than most, considerably more than some.  The issue of course is timing, not direction or distance.
