Thread regarding Pioneer Natural Resources Co. layoffs

I think PNR CEO S. S. let the cat out of the bag when he spoke publicly about the petroleum industry was in for a major consolidation if the downturn continues. Well oil stayed pretty much below 40 and if your read the WSJ the consolidation started two weeks ago. There was an article yesterday think in WSJ companies purchase their peers as defensive measure against getting purchased themselves or pro business a harbinger of the future the feeling that the bottom is near and it is a good opportunity to buy. Dallas Morning News mentioned the SEC regulatory "sniff test", on "A Son From another Mother" pretty sure this will need to be vetted by the Federal Government for proof that it was an arms length deal. Note Matt was added to the Pioneer Board, as was Ray his son was not. I suspect this was SS exit strategy and the heir apparent is Matt. If Matt, he has much to accomplish in a very short time (1.) Quell the rampart executive management disconnect with the remaining Pioneer Employees, (2.) take the long view on cash flow and using it to generate funds for drilling, NO MORE LOANS, (3.) Assure Wall Street that Pioneer is a LONGTERM GOING CONCERN, (4.) fend off the larger sharks that are still swimming in the ancient Permian Sea looking for a tasty meal, and (5.) Get rid of the RULES TO LIVE BY, or at the very minimum make them applicable to all employees and officers, what is good for the goose is good for the gander
