rio allged blackstone bid, page-17

This is now getting so boooring - surely BHP by now should have the confidence in beleiving, and convincing shareholders, in all the positive synergies to come out from a merger or takeover of RIO....so either make a formal offer, raise the bid, go hostile or walk away. Tom Albanese has already rejected the offer. And BHP has done all the road show possibel of telling the wotld of it's intention - so less talking for now and more action so us shareholders are not left hanging in the air wondering what will happen next. It seems to me that BHP is trying to get world approval to what it wants to do and give it he a OK. Some will agree and some won't - that is life. Just do what you beleive is the right thing for the company and shareholders...........my opinion only
