timetable speculation, page-38

hi earnie
have been away 4 acouple of days just catching up not being rude.
yes i am going to agm hope to meet u there.
hope u are right re bhp undoubtedly they will be excited about apg on completion of newcastle and that should make the sp around .45cents in a buyout proporsition.(thanks very much ballboys etc)

i can see they will tighten the screws a little(if they can)
but do they really care if they pay 330,000million (50c per share) or maybe 2billion ($3/ share for an absolute certainty with all systems running and maybe 4 billion
$6/share if they get into a bidding war. with all systems going that would for them be a bargain
i guess the big question 4 all of us is deal or no deal
