Oil and gas prices were good last quarter, but it seems the money didn't come through to the bottom line

Good question. Third quarter oil prices were good - they averaged $21.71 barrel. Third quarter, RRC realized $16 on oil but hedging cost them another $3, so they took $13 to the bank and out of that they had to pay operating expenses; that's a far cry from taking $26/barrel (today's price of oil) to the bank. Fortunately, for RRC although scheduled somewhat in advance, their contracts expire every month.

Jiml's right of course, several E&P's shot into the black 3rd quarter. The market's obviously saying that $26 oil is too good for oiler's to last or the share price of E&P's would be multiples of their 52 week lows (based on $10 oil) instead of being barely above them.

As investor's, we can wait - time is on our side. There's a peaceful satisfaction about watching the money roll in.
