re: removed post
um, don't look now but it's (2157) still there...
Fortunately I got my confusion out of the way earlier
(Mesa Royalty (MTR) IS NOT Mesa Offshore (MOSH )
Gets one thinking though, if mosh accepted properties as part of the settlement they could be used to re-constitute a royalty paying trust such that something approaching the .40 big Mesa pays - even .20 would equate to a 50% - 100% div rate for current holders based on current unit price..
wait that was monthly , wasn't it?
So even if mosh reconstituted at 1/10 the size of mtr, in addition to a big boost in unit valuation, would still likely get an equivevalent 50%+ yield, well, some kind of bigness...<g>
--sorry, didn't actually do any math on that speculation.. the calculus of counting chickens before they are hatched is an inexact science. hey, it's new years - who feels like thinking too hard?
Thing is, I had been discounting those who liked the idea of resumed royalty payments, but starting to see how that wouldn't be so bad either. Rather good actually...
