Thread: Takeover of another Oklahoma Company?

  1. Default Re: Takeover of another Oklahoma Company?

    ALWAYS look into possible self-serving when financial analysts speak. When you do this long enough, you learn to weed out the ones who routinely have an interest in something taking place. There is always a possibility a huge oil & gas company could go after DVN or CHK on a hostile takeover basis, however, since the 1980's and the days of junk bond leveraged buyouts, Michael Milkin, T Boone Pickens (the younger version) and Kholberg, Kravis, Roberts (KKR), hostile takeovers are less frequent. They generally look for more willing partners.

    There are still some folks like Carl Icahn out there who infiltrate the board of directors with his own people and either take over the company or force a sale. Lets hope he keeps his paws out of another of our companies the way he did Six Flags.

    You may prefer the design of this building but it's supposed to be 774 feet high so it's not more impressive in height.

    exxon-mobil is based right south of the red river in a tidy little town called Irving, Texas.

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean but I find the design of both buildings to be exciting although neither are ground breaking or outside of the box.
