Nice google job. You do understand ETE is king of natural gas after this deal, correct? Of course you don't because you read one little article on a company you've never heard of before and decided to post like you know what the fuck is going on. They will be the leader of natural gas exports for the US and it isn't close. Do you have any idea what they pay for natural gas where the cocks are uncut and smelly compared to what we pay here? Of course you don't. Do some more research next time you're at a rest stop and then come back and report.

THIS TRADE WILL TAKE A COUPLE YEARS TO PLAY OUT.

Thank you
If they can weather the slumping energy commodity markets while shouldering the $6b in debt, you'll have made a great trade. If they can't, and need an equity partner to get them through the slumping prices, not so much.
