I, for one, do not have a problem with CLL rewarding their employees. I have a friend in the industry (Conklin) and he informed me that they hired one of CLLs foreman, a few months ago. I'm in the utility industry and it doesn't take a lot to get the planets to align and have disaster strike. Experienced employees are an insurance that avoidance of these occurances will not hamper our investment growth. As for management, I'm no brainiac, but it's easy to tell these guys have been around and their record speaks for itself. CLL has resources in the ground, two operating SAGD plants, and a refinery. One thing I have learned by following CLL is that the share price is buoyed and battered by external influences, constantly. (ie: oil price, market sentiment, debt, environmental, etc. maybe even manipulation, I can't tell for sure!)
