Gouging? My opinion is that as jimp stated most production is sold at the begining of the month by the companies that produce. ROYL sold 70% at $14 and change for the month of December which looked pretty bright at the time. Now with spot prices in the $30 range it doesn't. Who is profiting then? Speculators? Enron which may have purchased the production? Who knows, or at least I don't. I've come to the conclusion that any hedging is a losing proposition for the producer. Let the laws of supply and demand dictate your pricing and go ahead from there.

ps: Look for talk of price controls soon if market doesn't settle down soon. Should this occur I would expect these stocks to tank. IMO
