That’s a good indication to how judge Preska is thinking TWT, *** This is rather a simple case***
I think even Bogart stated in the call in that to them it was a open and shut case , something like that,
That’s what I also thought , now if Argentina hadn’t off paid Repsol $5+ billion , then I wouldn’t be as confident around getting a billion dollar settlement,
I also agree with FFC this case could have American investors scrambling for a slice of this settlement money,
What I would like to see is if we got say 3/6/9/12 billion then why not get in instalments over 3/5/10 years , that way Argentina get off the hook for one big massive sum, we all know they can’t afford it,
So if we got our # cross your fingers settlement, then we could strip out the risk of Argentina defaulting on its sovereign debts , they know they have to pay us over many years to make it look more palatable to their countries residents and voters, in doing that we know we will have a yearly amount coming in for say 3/5or even 10 years and underpinning our revenue stream. Argentina is in really bad economic shape , though it won’t always be like that, so getting a huge settlement spread out over many years could benefit all parties here.
I’m saying all that because our potential settlement figure could be $12 billion ,
What better a way to underpin our income stream and share price than a large sovereign bond issue over many years.
Just my thoughts, because I called judge preskas call on a Dual and simultaneous fact finding process for our case. Even though I didn’t even know if it was possible.
Just food for thought, nothing’s set in stone with my thinking around all these issues.
Cheers everyone.
