Just for kicks... Odds: Trading halt today - 5/1 Announcement of farminee decision or TH sometime next week - 1/5
The preferred farminee: Petrobras - 5/2 Marathon - 6/1 Total - 6/1 Statoil - 6/1 Tullow - 33/1 Chinese major - 33/1 Any other - 7/1
The "no operations in Australia" line was a typo and it's really BHP - 100/1
Woodside makes a late bid having just realised what they've given up - 100/1
Kraft's bid for Cadbury has actually been just a furphy and they're really going after gas - write your own ticket
Tiger Woods has had a 'liaison' with someone from MEO - 1200/1 (tell the Herald Sun, it's the best way to get press coverage)
Please note: these odds are quite random and express my opinions and sense of humour only. Please DYOR and realise that I am not actually going to accept bets - I already have enough riding on it :).
Good luck holders. Judgment day is near...
