go ahead and make the bid to buy up haliburton. and require haliburton pay 5 bill if the deal dont fly, genius
This is the voice of reason responding to OP. If the feds wouldn't let #2 buy #3, why on earth would they let #1 buy #2? Me thinks there's still some dead weight to be cut loose around here.
I think we should and guarantee HAL 10 billion if the deal is not approved by the SEC ! That ought to get Paal and he's cronies another raise and free stock!
The FTC would never approve that. The competition concerns that stopped Baker and Halliburton merger would be even bigger with Schlumberger and Halliburton.
EEEEEdiots! they did not lose 3.2 bill ! they know exactly where it is, it's over in Baker's Bank Account. Baa HAA HAAAA HA HA snort HA HA AH
I hope not, there would be another 100,000 laid off employees if they did.
