paladin,,,when two people make a deal usually only one gets it,, an ol' Italian gent told me that when I was a kid,,and never forgot it,,,,,,BP undoubtedly know what all those senarios are now,,,,,,,,,,,and what they would be willing to put out after BoM data,,,or even after these additional trials,,,,but it takes both sides to agree and I think DM probably wants what we would actually be worth,,and there lay the problem,,,he can talk $7 to $14 billion,,,bit it is still just talk at this point,,,,imo
