Again, people that are far more familiar with these negotiations than me seem to be pleased with the process and I know there has been plenty of dialogue between the parties. Hession and team are working hard.Yes, agree. His words per the transcript are:
"Yes. I’m hopeful that that will be finalized no later than January and actually, let me be cautious no later than January. Let me try and continue to under promise and over deliver."
I took those words to mean he (at that time) was hoping the process would be completed this month; certainly not a "promise". I could care less if the settlement goes into Feb to get the right deal. In fact I am planning on it possibly not happening this week, and others should too at this point. So with that in mind if you can't stomach a possible drop in pps (if you think that's what will happen), then trim here and buy after "the fall" or later. If you don't think pps can ever recover from any such fall or it will be a long time, then sell all or most and plan accordingly. But it's Wednesday in that part of the world and that doesn't leave much time. If you can't stomach a possibe drop or even the thought of it, then act now.
Palm- Thanks for your comments.I can (at least for now) stomach the drops, but the old stomach is getting ulcers (it seems) from the "drops" over the years. I remember from my youth the saying....'too many cooks spoil the pie'..... i.e.in our case ioc, tot ,osh, xom and the png gov't. [ Too many cooks] In the old 'Katnjammer kids', Whimpy would always steal the pie off of Maw's window sill when it started to smell so enticing. I'm hoping our "pie" starts to smell real 'enticing' soon ! GLTA.
