...to chime in when sp and the stuff dreims are made are discussed...oh texasoilman...the turtle that is exxon is very slow and its shell is very strong...very interesting thought about the possibility of shell jumping into the ring...now that would be another vote of confidence wouldnt it...putting 2 and 2 together...maybe the latest raising of funds is the start of another jv...when no one thought mab could raise money and fo about broke they pop was it 40mil to show strength to rex and his posse...maybe just maybe we have a repeat on horizon...far fetched maybe...but our dreim is pretty farfetched now isnt it...as for sp buyout...our bet is 10.50 cent after many days of calculations and hypothetical situations...in our dreim world it would be much higher...but we doubt that exxon will want to wait long enought to allow our land value to grow through the bit and that combined with others bidding on the land...exxon would be best served to offer a premium and taking it to the bank...we are waiting for the test results but believe with all certainty that it is a formality and not a nervous period of time as the best ever is in charge and what lies below is a unknow as to what the boyz at fo do everyday...some thought no production license...some thought never in a million days a jv...and others thought no way to get cash...getting the cash got the jv and production license put the key in a safe place...life is good in fo land and the patience of the strong will lead to a nice ending to the story...as for oz...wouldn't be surprised to see the big boyz follow us to the land of the dingo...gofo and g'day
