Christmas with grandkids is always good.

If Gowling is out of the picture I'm sure we would have heard. It may or may not happen and I would expect some kind of update should it happen. 

If Gowling goes so does the 9% they would get. What I find really interesting is all the people who were concerned about be stuck paying Gowling even though it was posted many times that was not the case. It seems like it was just a bunch of false information and speculation.

In my opinion as long as we stick together we will be ok. No matter what we get the key will be because we have I believe over 30% of the shares. Standing together is our strength. Justin Fine who is the committee chair has not given up his efforts. I certainly don't see the need to panick over what Paau or others say whose only objective is to weaken our resolve.

I think Jan. 10th is the date VZ is suppose to post the security for not going after Citgo. If that is missed and Fung doesn't immediately push for immediate sale of Citgo I'm not sure how they will spin it. It will make them look like Charlie Brown and VZ Lucy while pulling the football away.
