I think you should look @ the figues here first. from my sums the purchase is 10% the market value of BHP and WPL is about 30% market value of BHP. The purchase is less than 1 years profit for BHP. Correct me if I am wrong please. WPL could well be of interest to BHP as they see a future in gas obviously. Only BHP's board know the answer to that.
