John:

ENE from my understanding in its need for recent financing pledged its prized pipeline assets for the recent loans (I think it was a guarantee for $1B or $2B in loans). This was right after the draw down in the credit line of $3 billion. So selling them DYN would be difficult without the lenders approval.

You can bet the creditors will be helping DYN win approval. I doubt there is much security on the $3B credit line.

Tim

edit - if the deal falls thru the unsecured bonds will not be worth much so I guess the analyst comment is right where one would be better off with the bonds but not by much.

John,

Thanks for the article, it sure seems like a win win for DYN. What a fall from grace for ENE, amazing. Well, I'm not going to wait for Summer 2002 to see if this closes, nor do I like waiting for another shoe to hit me in the face, so I'll probably sell my ENE in the next few days, the real stock to own here is DYN.

John. Good post & article.

Cut and pasted it over on the SD II board.

Decided to stand aside on ENE. It might work. But my read is there are just too may things that could go wrong. Nobody really knows what their "off balance sheet" liabilities are at this point. Looks like a pig in a poke.<g>

IMHO there's some safer opportunities out there.
