Happy Q3

[Tree]

1) name CEO.  Dont expect much. Not even naming Rex Tillerson as new CEO will help pps.

2) announce signed SPA   Announcement of terms will be made flattering to XOM.  Analysts at SHU RJ MS MacQ will describe how  in fact positive the deal is for IOC.

No but I hear that Hemi is being named as CEO after his performances at the last 2 AGMs. They had Tillerson ready to sign, then Hemi leaped to the forefront. He will be new CEO and Tusker will be added to the Board as Director of Drinks. His main responsibility will be to keep O'Neill and the NEC very happy so that Hemi can just hand them a pen and tell them where to sign. Unbelievable that we all had to think of this for management. Byker finally saw the light.

Well, actually it was a litlle self-depreciating humor here, as I've written a few SA articles with rousing headlines like "On the verge of IOC's most exciting quarter" or stuff like that..

However, the basic parameters of the deal with Exxon are agreed upon, which means it's in the hands of lawyers. That can take a while, but I would be surprised if it takes three months.
