Can't think of

[Tree]

any

reason

that

IOC

will

survive

as

an

independent

company.

Can

you?

Why

would

a

SM

subordinate

to

IOC

as

a

partner

and

have

to

deal

with

these

same

bidding

dynamics

at

each

subsequent

PRL

sale?

They

won't.

A

triple

of

an

artificially

low

pps

won't

be

enough

to

buy

us

out.

Don't

you

agree?

One word at a time ay?

[ebster123]

Tree, I agree and have stated this for the past two years. My only question is when. The value should be $250-$400 pps. Time will tell!!!!!

[ArtM72]

Bidding starts at $250. Bargain basement pricing, to be sure. Save a few bucks to follow Phil and his band to the next adventure (that is, if you have the youth).

Art, yes I think this Band of Brothers goes off and does it all again. But first we need to cash out this deal.

[ebster123]

Art and Jim, while I would love to jump in on the next bandwagon with Phil and the crew I would not count too heavily on it. Since Henry and Phil et.al. have been so successful identifying good finds that others may not be as skilled at doing, my sense is any buyout for the prospective fields would include Phil and Henry and the crew to to find them. Time will tell....
