Analysts think Exxon Mobil will buy Royal Dutch Shell
Thanks to record oil prices over the last few years and a cautious investment strategy that drew fire from critics, the company has nearly $40 billion in cash reserves. It has another $225 billion in repurchased stock tucked away for a rainy day. That's enough money to pay a nearly 60 percent premium, in cash, for every share of its next largest competitor - Royal Dutch Shell.

Colin Lloyd: January 05, 2009 Colin Lloyd recalls his favourite campaigns. ExtractsThe golden age
Other classics include the Cadbury’s Golden Egg promotion, which had thousands of people digging up great tranches of the English countryside trying to discover Golden Eggs that Triangle had buried. Today the environmentalists would pull their hair out. And the free piggy banks from Gales Honey, put together in a mental asylum in Devon, did not look like any animal that I have seen.
Shell Make Money was my number one, and could be unbelievably successful in today’s climate.

Heinz led the way with charity promotions, and its incredibly successful Win a Car a Day. Reputations were made, and sometimes lost, in two great decades.
Getting blood from the Shell Investors’ stone!
One of the knock-on effects from Shells dysfunctionality over their declaration of fictitious hydrocarbon reserves was that they were obliged by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) to pay $120million to investors. All investors who bought shares between 8th April 1999 and 17th March 2004 were entitled to a share of the payout. As a (very) small investor I qualified for this in theory anyway.
When the initial wodge of papers arrived from the Settlement Administrators I tried hard to understand them and eventually worked out that I would need to know the precise dates of all purchase and sales of Shell shares over this period. I dont bother to keep such records and all of my purchases were under a staff savings scheme anyway. Not a lot of money in my case so my inclination was not to bother with the claim.

USATODAY: Royal Dutch Shell, Tom Cruise, YouTube and Hitler
