Quasi murmurings from the other side...let's say SLB throws its weight into the European regulatory hurdle (or GE, Emerson, HAL, etceteros...). Implosion yes. NO. A kulling. The Kulling of a historic technology company. Baker was always fragmented, and its few gems will be swallowed by large newcomers and competitors. GE is building a huge war chest. Huge, selling, selling, selling....lol. But really, why would an E&P company want to buy their equipment from the same place as the others? I don't get it. I think everything was just all f***ed up. And it's getting better....healing into the future. Big o'l juicy heal. SLB has a chance to molt. GE will buy a modest E&P and a service company. BUT
HAL is finished as well.
