Thanks for your contributions and good luck Crippsfl!
["I will not be sending "Thank You" cards to Phil. All his court case did was cost us money. IOC shareholders are sitting on their shares that are making NOTHING. If the deal would have closed earlier, we all would had Exxon shares that would have appreciated nearly 10% since then. If Exxon continues to climb, the loss is even worse. At least by getting out now, I get a slightly higher sale number and the opportunity to invest in a market that, at least for now, seems to have upward potential."]
While technically you're right, however:
- This is only with the benefit of hindsight
- As you yourself argue, the game was rigged. Somebody had to stand up to it, and Phil did a pretty good job, scoring a fairly unlikely victory in the process.
- He may yet snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, this isn't over yet.
Good luck!
