Good post Scott. Also I have been worried as Metacomet posted about credit ratings, as the value of the commodity in the ground has devalued ... so will their available credit I'm afraid. That's partially why I was hopeful Algar would be completed.
I'm long as many of you others, in fact may purchase a few more shares during this time ... the next year ... as there doesn't seem to be much downside left now. Will oil really remain this low? I certainly don't understand the dynamics at work here.
For me ... keep working and pay down debts, mortgage and etc. Businesses are still making money, the veterinarian, colleges, and Firestone auto repair shop are getting mine.
