You may be right. I would be disappointed if they settle for any less than $5/share or around $500 million (perhaps a little less). If it drags on for longer than another year, it may be because the lawyer for the eminent domain issue is going for the jackpot. Perhaps He will play it like the Florida tobacco attorneys. Florida is used to these big legal settlements and I believe that a good lawyer can make a case for the billions of dollars worth of oil under the Coastal Petroleum leases. The tobacco settlement was for over $11 billion and the State's lawyers in that case got $3.4 billion. I believe the Florida laws governing eminent domain explicitly provide for the State (in this case) to pay the legal fees in addition to the damages.

As soon as the lawsuit is formally filed, I would expect a jump in price for the CCO shares. Given my track record in predicting the stock price, I suppose we'll see the $0.50 level soon <G>. (Just kidding, I hope). I do think that if Al Gore wins, our stock will take a hit.
