past behaviour predicts future performance - it's hard to see a behavioural change in the way they risk the purchase of assets. There's a lot of deadwood available for the picking atm and BHP will undoubtedly pick some of it up without the correct procedural due diligence and relying on heresay from associates. If you remember shale oil etc who was the director at the time, sold a lemon by a used car salesman? I'm worried about their ability to pick tier 1 assets at a rock bottom price, they haven't done so in the past.
