I took some advice this morning, which almost matched your advice (the word "puppet" was missing). As you have already well expressed the situation , I don't repeat it here. (We leave the exact formulation to the president of SAT).
I can wait much easier now.
As is it has hardly rained for the last 3 days at the Sunbeam location next door, we should also get the spudding announcement for Sunbeam very soon. Interesting next few weeks!
But the real race will come a couple of months later, when buru confirms the real value of Laurel and therefore also the value of OBL.
