So the only relevant news today is that InterOil may have chosen not to extend exclusivity, a very positive indication that the company has other compelling bids and is leveraging them to accelerate and optimize negotiations with Exxon.  When the dust settles, investors will perceive Blair Price's report today as a significant positive indicator and an immediate precursor to deal closure.

Hohoho "We can't comment on ongoing negotiations, BUT the negotiations are ongoing with ExxonMobil Papua New Guinea Ltd. regarding an agreement to monetize the Elk and Antelope fields" "And they are gooooooooooooooooooooooooood. BUT we can't comment."

The Fly On the Wall said "InterOil issues a no comment on trading activity". Short trying to bash again.

Yes... the word exclusivity was not included. Perhaps there is more than one positive future ahead for IOC.

Keep it on fire.

2} Blair Price has lost all journalistic credibility.
3} Blair Price should be seeking new employment elsewhere.
