Wayne, energy stocks... I sure blew this one myself. I've always looked at the energy sector as an end of boom cycle play. Jeez, the last half-a-dozen recessions were kick started by high-energy prices.

At the moment the GDP is running at a fraction of a % point, and the S&P p/e is at an all time high?

Do you follow the Calpine saga much? Tight to non-existent spark spreads due to poor electricity demand and rising ng prices combined with massive debt has the company imploding. They've just cancelled over $3 billion in gas turbine orders - I was reading that the electrical generation industry has pulled over $7 billion in capex because of the demand situation.

I can't look too good for General Electric either.

Regards
Frank P.
