Thy said: "Good luck, Gator. While wishing you the best, I think the board will be better without you."
How sad to see that this seems to be the conclusion of so many on SHU ... facts put onto the table by Gator and others are considered to be postings by people who have an "Agenda."
Those who appreciate Gator (sfiaes, ebster, Martini, ME, Petrovale, et al) are apparently in the minority.
At least people like Thy grudgingly wish Gator "Good Luck" ... WHY? Because if Gator is "Lucky" it means IOC's share price improved.
I must say, Thy, that I agree with your view: seeing a positive outcome from continuing to hold IOC going forward will require a whole lotta Luck. TRANSLATION: Gambling!
People should invest in IOC because they conclude - - - based on facts, circumstances, and the plans laid out by Management for shareholders to see and monitor - - - that an investment made in IOC will have a higher return than putting the money into another holding (or even putting it under the mattress).
Unfortunately, I've spent the past two years watching IOC bumble and stumble along, repeatedly missing timelines. None of my expectations were met.
I also agree with Getitrt that the ultimate E/A Resource Payment from Total to IOC will not be impacted by the "oil collapse."
BUT for the love of Mike (and for Pete's sake), how can this guy always Get It All So WRONG, and continually praise a CEO who claimed (loudly and with conviction I may add) that he would under-promise on every aspect of the company performance and then subsequently proceeded to under-deliver based on the under-promises.
Dr Hession seemingly removes the pebbles from his shoes every afternoon before he goes home.
There must be SOMETHING that "Getitwrong" thinks IOC Top Management failed to do properly in the past 2+ years?
