Ann: Goldman Sachs retained to seek buyers for Co, page-24

re: Ann: Goldman Sachs retained to seek buyer... "This does give some weight to the theory that they have been doing the ground work on a sale/merger over this period"

I think it would be naive to think that the process of feeling out the corporate market has just begun today . The director buying 500,000 a few months ago was a good indicator, imo .

The recent professional appointments to MAE, the IRR contracted, the Trillion cf reserve report, Oman drill - surely all these actions have been part of the process, like renovating the kitchen before selling the house .
