Regarding declining earnings comps, what you say makes sense but I agree that prior quarter comparisons are not appropriate (that's as nicely as I can put it).

I pretty much did the same thing you did. took a look at some E&P's this evening. First looked at last 4 quarter's earnings, last year of NG prices, and hedges. Then I looked at futures strip and projected forward earnings. No person with brain activity could conclude YOY comparisons would be declining until at least Q4.

Then, just for grins, I looked at debt levels and shares outstanding then and now. Very pleasing results.
