Q: Hello,
Would like your opinion on the proposed merger of TGL and VAALCO Energy. As a current holder of TGL, I'm wondering what I should do? I've done quite well with this company and it pays an attractive dividend. Would you sell at this point, or have your shares converted to VAALCO... if in fact the merger does take place.
Appreciate your input. Thank you,
Tom

Q: Rio Tinto has offered $40 to buy the remainder of the company that they don't already hold, while the market price seems to be holding just above $37 (as I write this), almost a 10% difference. If TRQ rejects this offer, do you think Rio will up their offer for a second time, make a hostile bid, or just walk away? I know very little about the mining industry, and am mainly looking at the numbers - would you buy some TRQ hoping for a capital gain, or just stay away?
Thank-you
