YAHOO!
Converted all my PXD Traditional IRA shares to Roth IRA last week!
I cant read that story due to firewall. Should equare to $250 to $260 per share if it goes through.
XOM should go down.
If I am buying, I'd likely buy XOM. Combining these 2 companies will make one helluva powerhouse. I dont know if you guys are noticing what is happening with XOM and their projects in Guyana, they are flat killin' it. PXD is a cash register with an open til because they cant close it - too full of money.
When Scott Sheffield retired I posted here that the guy taking his place was the CFO from Sam Houston as i recall. I said if Scott is negotiating to sell, having that CFO at the helm is what you'd want. Let CFO run the numbers and Scott does the negotiating. In my opinion this deal was done during that announcement. It's how I would orchestrate it if it were me.
Wow!
Think forward.
How the heck can the DOW not reinvite XOM back into this elite group. That's worth an extra $1 to $2 per share should that happen due to portfolio rearrangements in indices and funds.
If you play PXD it could be tricky for in & out trades. If XOM buys PXD with shares, check the ratio being used. You could buy PXD and end up with more XOM shares due to value drag. It happened just months ago in the Denbury deal.
This is awesome!
