The whole deal smells like a scam to make money on the stock market. George Soros owns 8% of this stock and he has been involved in shady deals before.

I like everything about Penn Virginia except George Soros.  They've been an excellent operator... we've had no problems with anything!  And that says a lot considering the trouble "small operators" are going through these days.

The one thing i do see is... hopefully... many companies are looking for nat. gas supplies close to the coast or pipelines to feed the exporters.

no such offer or rejection occurred, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The takeover talks may have circulated due to documentation of a takeover deal from exactly 13 years earlier between Penn Virginia and BP Capital, The Journal added.
